nice

Opening night. Mets @ Royals. It's not the Cubs but at least it's real baseball

The ESPN broadcast is lame though. They have a female as the third person in the booth doing commentary.


And they still have that stupid fucking strike zone graphic over the plate on the game for the whole game. Annoying as fuck. This really makes me angry. Does anyone literally like this?

I'm p sure the only reason espn does this is for sponsorship so they can say "k-zone graphic brought to you by ______"

They could probably work in as many mentions if they only used the graphic during replays.

" Let's look at the Gillette k-zone on that last call Bob. Well Tom it looks like that strike was one close shave."

Yeah it's also to appease casual fans

When does Baseball start?

Cubs are playing at 10 tonight

Hope the Cubs make it to the post season. It's always a hoot watching them choke and lose if they do.

Being a casual is so sweet. I can even slack from my hobbies.

but why would you want to

your hobbies are supposed to be things you enjoy

He enjoys slacking more.

:: The Crow ::

Slacking is my hobby.

Miguel Montero hits the first homer of the Cubs season!


Cubs leading 5-0 in the 6th :)

Well you have to have other hobbies. So you have something to slack off from when you're not busy slacking off from work.

You have to be kind of careful, it gets meta right away. The best hobbies are the accessories to slacking like fishing or kite flying. Then the question of slacking becomes a matter of definitions, and could fall either way at the slightest touch. Only then, in that brief moment of balance, can one achieve true slacking zen.

Cubs 6 Angels 0 in the 8th

Jake Arrieta is dominating tonight

Cubs win! 9-0

Lots of crying in Cubbies baseball fandom.

yeah

does that make you happy knowing that other people are suffering?

do you take joy in the misfortune of others?

What's with all this baseball talk in our slack thread?

Cubs at Angels game 2. Jon Lester starting

Cubs going for the sweep tonight!

Delaying the game because Angels pitcher Heaney has a nosebleed lol

Cubs lead 1-0 after a Matt Szczur home run!

Anthony Rizzo hits his first homer of the year!

Cubs lead 4-0

Cubs color commentator JD thinks he's a real comedian

"The Angels can't sell any beer tonight because they lost the opener"

I'd argue about it but I'm too busy slacking. Maybe later.

Home run Dexter Fowler! Swinging on 3-0 B)


Cubs 6 Angels 1 in the 7th

Cubs win!

http://youtu.be/ikmby3-7ujo

I take joy in the misfortune of Cubs fans. Much, much joy. It is rude to throw a home run ball back onto the field. The only misfortune in baseball I enjoy more is that of a Dodgers fan. Imma lookin' at you Magic Johnson.

Cry, Cubbies, cry.

off day Wednesday then 4 games in Arizona

eamus Catuli

Anthony Rizzo is on pace for 108 home runs this year

Man, I was about useless today and it was awesome. My main achievement was hosing off the car.

the idea that you need to do work and be productive every day is just propaganda from our capitalist overlords

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

14-6

Why are you rooting for the Cubs? Why don't you root for North Carolinas team? Traitors should be tarred, feathered and neutered.

You know, I was going to do something today. But then I saw this thread and became newly inspired. Thanks, PSXer!

there is no North Carolina team

I started watching the Cubs because they were on tv here on WGN

Kyle Schwarber has two torn ligaments and will miss the rest of the season

Fuck


Looks like the billy goat is striking early this year

This really makes me sad. I guess God/the universe/evolution/whatever controls reality hates me

I just wish something good would happen to me sometime

See? Its far safer to lounge on the porch sipping apple cider.
