Yanc3y, are you still drunk from last nite???

wtf? can a man not console a friend in a slightly condescending/totally creepy/but in reality very loving way?

There's no crying in baseball!

It was funny, though. I was totally taken by surprise at the end of the game when the Marlins suddenly starting being happy and celebrating and piling on, because my brain had just nonsensically assumed that since we were at Wrigley Field the only two outcomes were 1. celebration or 2. non-celebration and that in the event of 2. everyone would be very sad and solemn and walk quietly off the field, including the Marlins.

It kind of cracked me up when I realized how deluded that was.

Yanc3y claimed all of us NYC Laydeez as his like a year ago, it's no longer creepy to us when he acts like this. It's like he's Charlie and we're the Angels. Don't worry. But there really is no crying in baseball. Unless Pedro Martinez body slams you to the ground, then you cry I think.

mmhmm

Y, please carry on. "I'm lovin' it."

Ha ha, so true.

I myself have these weird Yanc3ylike feelings of possessiveness over a guy at my tennis club for no reason. The poor guy goes there with his girlfriend and I have these irrational angry feelings towards her, that she is not worthy of being his girlfriend (even though I don't know either of them at all), so seeing them together makes me livid with rage, even though I have no connection to them whatsoever.

x-post: Oh come on, Darren Baker is like 4 years old! It's cute when he cries. Like when the college basketball cheerleaders cry, I love that.

A Cubs fan gets some perspective:

http://espn.go.com/page2/s/shea/031016.html

"The Cubs are it for me. The other sports I love, but this would be the greatest. ... I don't need it anymore. I have a son; he's 1-year-old. That's my joy. I don't need the Cubs anymore. But, you know, life will go on and we'll get through this."

Does this mean he didn't pay attention to his child before the Cubs lost? Weel, shit... Go Marlins!

the kid's only one - what's to pay attention to?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 17 October 2003 05:43 (twenty years ago) link

yeah all they do at that age is cry (they're kinda like cubs and sox fans)

― geeta (geeta), Friday, 17 October 2003 05:53 (twenty years ago) link

ha! No shit, dude. Maybe it's my lack of perspective on history, but I'm gonna lose patience with this whinging real quick-like. And nobody better say "curse." That wuzn't no curse, boy, that was losing some key games right there.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 17 October 2003 05:55 (twenty years ago) link

Bold statement.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 October 2003 06:05 (twenty years ago) link

Bold statement to say it wasn't a curse? Were you watching?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 17 October 2003 06:12 (twenty years ago) link

I meant that I was just so sure that a goat was the reason why they lost the series. It's the only explanation. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go trim my rabbits' feet and see if my mother's back is okay.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 October 2003 06:30 (twenty years ago) link

bold statement

seven years pass...

this kind of squares w/ my opinion of suburban cubs fans. (speaking as someone who grew up around wrigley and had to put up with them.)
