Chet, the Bayless/Shannon Sharpe show is on at 9:30am every day.  Right up your ally. 

Are you just stupid?  Or are you ######ed too?  Get your clubs out.  You and the Dodgers are done.

Out, Javy Baez is chocolate milk on a warm summer day.

You front-running with the Cubs like you did with the B'Hawks? 

Oh, now I see the displaced anger.

Welcome to the ignore list.  No one cares about you or your opinion.  And the above makes no sense.  Have a nice life, loser.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Think I hit a soft spot there.

Fish Taco Tuesday crying in his soup over the Dodgers.  

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

I'm on IGNORE!!!!

But really I'm not, because dumb Canuck frontrunners can't work the ignore function. 

 

[Rirruto]

I don't know what Prop 61 is but I guess it sucks.

So nice watching the Cubs crush the Dodgers and knowing that Fish Taco is ready to slit his/her wrists.

 

[Limp Ditka]

So what, I'd watch this #### for 4 days straight. 

I agree, but I also cant help but know that it's not for everyone and it borderlines on ridiculousness

No matter how many trees you can buy, it doesn't mean you know which one you're barking up.

4-1 taco.  Suck on that.

Probably the most poetic post you've ever had in here sans DeWayne Wise going over that wall to secure perfection.

5-1 Cubs.

If only there was a comprehensive list somewhere of the teams Taco likes.

S/he lives and dies by the Dodgers so s/he's at home ready to drown himself/herself.

The slight of hand has Chet completely drooling.  Like a guy who hasn't followed baseball in years, but now will probably be at a World Series game because he has the means to buy a ticket and a Cubs hat.  Exactly what baseball fans are afraid of, another Red Sox Nation led by the mouth-breathers. 

 

[chet]

No world series for Taco.  Try next year #######.

I kind of feel like this about the Cubs. I can't cheer for the Indians after they eliminated the Jays. I don't really like the Dodgers either but Kershaw is amazing and Anthopolous is there, so I guess if I squint really hard they're my interest. Mostly just hoping for close games and good baseball and someone pounding Trevor Bauer.

 

[Northern Voice]

Also, is someone going to tell him?

 

[Limp Ditka]

Seriously. Between that post and the live action shot of the Marmol Shirsey? All in a matter of like 4 hours.

I pretty much ####### rule. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

@Peyton Marino Told you, should have gone Kershaw.  Now you have to win twice at Wrigley, oof. 

 

[chet]

Tell me something?  Alias?  Whose?

I'm rooting for the NL team, period.  Cubs, Doyers, Padres.  Whatever. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Yes.

 

[chet]

Yes.

Please tell.

 

[Northern Voice]

Please tell.

I'm no snitch.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Oh no Baez!  Don't be hurt! 

So good.  So good.

Dr Detroit making trouble?

 

[Rirruto]

#######it Javy. 

 

[Rirruto]

Can the DH be used for a non-pitcher? IF the Cubs win this series, I'd rather have someone hit for Heyward than for Arrieta. Or really any of the starters. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Baez actually had a better hard contact rate in 2015 than he did in 2016, but a lot of the balls he was hitting was right at guys.  More importantly he was missing a lot, his O-Swing % was up 14% this year meaning he is identifying balls outside the strike zone better than he was a year ago.  It's just a matter of time, I think he's superior to Addison Russell but he can find a home anywhere in the infield.  I think 3B would be ideal, he'd be a gold glover there and I think he could become the standard at the hot corner.  Not gonna walk a lot, ever, but as long as his pitch selection continues to improve he has a chance to be special. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Dodgers can't get out of their own way tonight. 

 

[bagger]

So the cubs have set themselves up perfectly for the inevitable meltdown.

Thinking they have a 1-0 lead in the 7th in game 6 and blow it, then get boat raced in game 7.

God I hope so. Would be amazing to #### the bed like that at home.

Going back to Wrigley up 3-2 with our two aces still to pitch? Can't lose that. #2003

 

[Limp Ditka]

God I hope so. Would be amazing to #### the bed like that at home again

#2003

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Chet when you gave your tickets to the WCF away to a fellow FBG you earned a lot of e-cash with me. 

I was just messing with you, don't fret. 

 

[Limp Ditka]

 

[bagger]

God I hope so. Would be amazing to #### the bed like that at home. 

Please have it have bartman coming back to wrigley involved somehow. 

Only way to stop this is to literally murder a goat at home plate for the ceremonial first pitch.

#### you jobu.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

UNIGNORE NOW

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

If I ever had an alias here at FBG, and that would be frowned upon so I'd never do it, it would be: #1fanofGhanasoccerandchetandjavybaez

 

[bagger]

These baseball series playing all of these back to back games is throwing me off.

if this was the NBA we would all be getting pumped up for game 3 about now.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Who is in charge of updating the thread title?  Must be a moron, we are headed to game 6 of the NLCS, Indians won the AL already, and we still have some lame ### thread title.  You're fired, guy. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

I'm not sure I want this to happen.  I'm sympathetic to the Doyers because one of my best buddies is a Doyer fan, but I want the Indians to die (not via small pox).  Cubs seem to have a better chance to beat them, so.....

I love the cubbies in a non-diehard way, but I love internet memes of fans looking like they are literally ready to die even more. And a game  7 loss at wrigley would be the treasure trove. 

 

[Limp Ditka]

 @ AROD saying that Robbie Cano would have made the play Baez made on the AGone bunt.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Pete Rose and A-Rod should be in the HOF, but not on my TV.  Fox does TV so bad, we get Joe Buck, Skip Bayless, and some cheaters.  Oh, and Lou Dobbs.

Gross.
