Cubs v. Padres, August 17, 2009

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

I have decided to murder Kevin Gregg.

I am looking for accomplices.

Well, Gregg sucks ass, but the offense is still the bigger problem.

Yeah, we were getting fucking shutout by Correia. The whole team is a mess, outside of the starting pitching (who have been riding the injury carousel).

That just shut the door on the season for me. 6 back. Once again, I'm in hell.

Butch, you really need to pick up a fall sport. Are you at least a college football guy?

Nope. Nada. I read a lot. And I'm a better father and husband. Just an all-around better person when there's no baseball. So it's probably not such a bad thing.

Fair enough. Probably is best for your blood pressure to not pick up another team in addition to the forsaken ones.

Nail in the coffin. Great way to start a huge road trip. We were already coming westward needing to win 4 or more like 5 to save pace in both races, and an early setback like this is devastating. It's done, guys. No team meeting, clubhouse brawl, or anything short of a divine coup d'etat can save us.

We can't score when we need to, we can't stay healthy when we need to make a run, and when things do go right, we have the mighty goggle-man to fuck it all up. It's fucking over. We're fucked, dead and finished.

See you guys next year. Anyone interested in tickets to Thursday's and Friday's games?

Kevin Gregg is not a closer.

Fixed.

Eh? Eh? You see what I did there?
