IT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS, PEP! 1 point out of a possible 6? Drawing at home to fucking Everton (no ofence)?
But alas, here we are. Still in first, but only by a slender goal over Arsenal, with Spurs 1 point back in third. Almost seems like a real race, huh?
I would still note that City had like 80% possession last week, and only conceded the one clear chance that Romelu Lukaku converted (though that was part of the defensive/irritant plan) to send the Blues up 1-nil. And yeah, Everton keeper Maarten Stekelenburg (try spelling that crunk) was out of his mind, saving TWO pens, and that wasn’t even his best work of the day.
In short…it’s possible to get points off ANYBODY if you have a really good plan and a lot breaks your way, and Everton look to at least contend for a European place this season. But City fought like hell for 90 minutes, and never rolled over. This is still a remarkably good side, and my favourite to hoist the trophy in May, by a comfortable margin.
But it’s fun to pretend to have a race, at least.
Speaking of Spurs, they draw Saturday early duty (7:30, NBCSN) with a visit to cheeky Bournemouth. WAKE UP, yeah right!! The Cherries popped Hull 6-1 last weekend, so momentum is on their side! Arsenal/Boro headlines the 10:00 window (NBCSN), though I will watch Everton grind through a trip to Burnley on Extra Time. I am also having some new appliances delivered to my old house, and my window is unhappily 11:30-3:30. So…I may miss the end and be grumpier than usual. There is MOAR shite on Extra Time at 10, and the proper Shite against Brom at 12:30 on NBC. Watch JV NFL and quit encouraging the Klopp ball-fondling. It’s gross.
NBCSN has a high-quality Sunday Funday doubleheader, with City hosting resurgent, 8th place Saints at 8:30. Both teams should bring their A game for this one, and There Will Be Goals. Good viewing. The 11:00 window has Manure rolling into Stamford Bridge, with a Top 5 position almost surely belonging to the winner. Chelski assuaged some of my skepticism last week, as did Manure by holding the Shite to a scoreless draw. So…this is also a very interesting ficture, albeit between two unspeakably evil sides.
HEY!! Guess who’s here to shit all over the noon ABC window again?
NC State at Louisville (Noon, ABC)
For most of this, I will be likely watching the Sears dudes install a dishwasher and microwave that I will NEVAR FUCKING USE, whilst listening to a transistor radio that I bought for the hurricane. This, imaginary friends and frenemies, is my fucking life in a nutshell. The wolven sort will no doubt still insist on field goal attempts, and I will say very unpleasant words. Lamar! will try to get his Heisman/NFL/2020 Invisible Primary campaigns back on track.
Wisconsin at Iowa (Noon, ESPN)
So many fat white ppl. So little forward passing.
Colorado at Stanford (3:00, Pac 12)
I’ve noticed a trend in that the secondary/tertiary Pac 12 fixtures can get quite entertaining at times. Bookmark this little fucker in case The Big One below gets all shitshow-y.
Texas A&M at Alabama (3:30, CBS)
Team Bonfire Cult at Roll Damn Tide. These weirdos probably have some amazing parking lot staredowns on the way in, given the cult mentalities and the copious amounts of grain alcohol involved. I actually like Kevin Sumlin a lot, and think his team is very, very good. I do NOT rule out an upset here, or a game that is so close that the Aggies stay in playoff contention if they run the table afterwards. BUT…the game is in Tuscalossa, and one that Saban and his charges will take seriously, so one can’t rule out 35-0 in the 2nd quarter neither.
Arkansas at Auburn (6:00, ESPN)
ESPN has timed its programming to kick in early in case of Tuscaloosa shitshow. Can you tell? This is usually the time Pig Sooey decides to start fucking everyone else’s season up. Your turn in the barrel, Aubie.
Ole Miss at LSU (9:00, ESPN)
I’m not really sure what these teams are left playing for, but they don’t like one another and it’s late night in Death Valley. Sign me up.
Washington State at Arizona State (10:00, Pac 12)
Late night tweaker/insomniac games don’t get much SEXIER THAN THIS!! Danger, Coach Leach, a trap game awaits…
One of Steven Spielberg’s best movies, IMO.

A Cubs v Indians series could theoretically go to 21 games until one of those teams doesn’t lose.

WOOOOOOOO
So I got a bunch of customers flying in for training for the next 8 days. I have now done over 30 days of training straight, with different drive products and audiences. I’ve been trying to put together the training documents tonight while drinking and I have just started reviewing the drive drawings. The drives (two of them) power two fans…5,000 HP a piece.
Shit…must be mining. So now I got to review mining safety standards and shit.
But as I start doing it, I see the customer company name. I don’t recognize it at all. Now I am really confused and I google it. Its an entertainment company.
What the fuck?!?
I finally figure out that its two indoor fans to run an indoor skydiving machine. Apparently this is a thing now.
A song for the Cubs fans.

OK TIME TO GO TO BED TO WATCH MY TEAM AT 9AM! THATS COOL!
Let me ge this right….
We’ve seen the Arizona Cardinals and the new Orleans saints play in the super bowl….
But cubs winning their 3rd title?
Thats impossible!
If the Cubs win Theo Epstein will get a huge part of the credit, if not most of it.
If the Indians win, Terry Francona will get a huge part of the credit, if not most of it.
Suck it Boston.
Al least they told Curt Schilling to get fucked today.

Also, suck it Dave Roberts.

Anthony Rizzo just told a national TV audience that he’d going to fuck a baseball tonight.
THAT’S GOOD HUSTLE
Put Theo Epstien in the HOF now?
Signed, Epstein’s Mother
Nice. And I’m sad that I’m old enough to get that.
*sigh*
I loved that show.
Aroldis Chapman’s girlfriend breathes a sigh of relief, unbolts the door.
So, Cubs-Indians in the World Series? Fucking great.
I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Well this breaks my “86-year pennant curse means 2031.”
Someone check on Dok, or is she in a (relatively) safer place?
I was thinking about that earlier.
Hopefully she’s in blissful slumber. Or was at least until the bottles flew thru her window.
Wow.
Cubs vs [Baseball Redacteds B].
Well I’ll be damned
You won’t be alone. I’m pretty sure that sound outside the house was the breaking of the 7th seal.
Shit!
As long as he’s not wearing his smoking vest and charcoal pants you should be fine.
Congrats Cubs for not fucking it up yet.
There’s still time tho.
😉
I can hear sounds coming out of Brady Quinn’s purdy mouth but they just don’t make any sense … maybe it’s the rum.
Did the Dodgers really just foul one off 2 seats behind the Bartman area?
Did i just see Bartman scrambling to get the fuck outta there?
That’s right. This gets that guy off the hook. That’s good.
Well, I was singing this on the way out of rehearsal. Admittedly I think the subconscious was showing off since ex-almost-Senorita Weaselo’s new guy was there.

Chapman coming out for the 9th it appears. Let’s watch and see if he chokes (his girlfriend).
That’s not fair, he never tried to choke her or even hit her.
He just fired a gun in her general direction.
8 times.

It’s all coming up Cubbies.
/mixed emotions
2 cities whose NFL seasons are already done and have enormous championship droughts. It’ll be a great series. I like the Indians. They’re loose, rested, playing with house money, have home field, and carry WAY less baggage. Might be worth popping in the bookmaker’s for.

I don’t care how this works out for the Cubs but taking your starting pitcher out in the 8th with a 5-0 lead and at 88 pitches is just goddamn dumb.
Or not.
No it is. And I think I know what I’m talking about, because one time I managed a bunch of 13 year olds to the State tournament, and that’s pretty much the same thing.
In principle I do agree with you, fwiw. But one never knows if he suddenly tightened up or had an elbow issue. To Maddon’s credit, he ain’t gonna pull a Showalter in either case.
If another guy gets on or he’s thrown 10 more pitches I can see it but the guy’s throwing a two hitter and getting plenty of ground balls.
Glad it worked out.
I need runs.
Try prunes.
