Calling out Pinella, nice. ;-)

Actually, most Chicagoans are in pretty good shape from what I have seen.

The fatties are imported from the 'burbs and Wisconsin.

This IS a pretty accurate portrayal of a south suburbian (they tend to falsely refer to themselves as South Siders).

Not only is this guy obviously not a cubs fan, he's a tremendous douchenozzle to boot.

 
applepieboy69 2009-07-02 09:53:43 AM  
I honestly hope they don't win 5 in a row just because of this guy. If he's stupid enough to sacrifice his health by cutting his calories so low over something as dumb as a baseball team, then he deserves the consequences. Looking forward to hearing about a 105 bag of bones by the end of the year.

Starving yourself ≠ diet

How does this idiot even get his hair brained scheme on the news, press release? Hows about if the Cubs lose 5 in a row (for the nth time), he sets himself on fire.

"I'm going to motivate them," he said. "I'm going to embarrass them into winning more games."

They don't give a shiat about your fat ass...and if they aren't embarrassed by the way they've played so far this year, then nothing will embarrass them.

/Aramis. Monday. Can't wait.

Like anyone is going to keep track of this fool anyway.

But hey, good job man. You'll turn this team around all by yourself! Really! They'll be so concerned with your health that they will all break out of their mostly season-long slumps and start hitting. Marmol will remember how to throw strikes due to the concentration that you are providing for him!

/wish Aramis was back this weekend so we could have another walk-off moment like a couple years ago.

 
bottsicus 2009-07-02 10:31:39 AM  
But will they bring in Paint-Drinking-Pete when this guy tips over from his hunger strike?

 
NimbleWalrus 2009-07-02 10:33:59 AM  
Too bad he's not a White Sox fan. He could end this strike already.

/on second thought, let this Wentz stay on the North Side

I was watching the Cardinals/Giants game on ESPN last night, and then they panned to the crowd and showed us an old lady wearing all her Cubbie shiat. Seriously, I can't think of a single thing in sports that pisses me off more than fans that wear their team's crap to a game that doesn't feature said team.

You don't have to pull for the home team, but for God's sake. If your team isn't in the game, at least have the decency to wear street clothes. And I feel the same way about morans that wear Cardinals gear to Wrigley when the birds aren't visiting.

 
TexasPete [TotalFark] 2009-07-02 11:16:41 AM  
Is that 500 total, or per diem?

Agreed - most people that live in the city itself walk a lot, or bike to work - sure there are some fatties, like me - but that is because I stupidly moved 8 years ago to Indianapolis and only moved back to the city a year ago - you want to talk about an area ripe with the heavies, go to Indy

Not to reinforce the stereotype of the douchebag Sox fan, but I'm wearing my 'Tek jersey to any park I go to. That includes Wrigley.

Imagine if every Cub fan in Florida set themselves on fire if the Cubs lost five in a row? The Space Shuttle, coming back from a mission, wouldn't need mission control to land. The light from the burning bodies would be enough guidance for a landing. Florida would look like a giant cock on fire.

Sorry -- I'm sure you're a nice enough guy, but to me, that's a douchey move. Support your team at your own park or the park of the team they're playing.

I know, but it works for my purposes. Besides, only European football fans are crazy enough to teach their kids that stuff at that age. I mean, I was raised to dislike the Yankees, but I don't start riots when we play each other.

In other Cubs news, Hendry just traded for another utility man (new window).

Good luck, you consume 600 calories just breathing in Chicago.

Seeing as I live in Chicago..I think you should start full scale city riots against one another. It would be very entertaining.

On second thought, after you killed each other off, the Cubs would take over the #1 spot in the MLB for highest payroll and still not win the series.

\Hopefully this year
\\If not, next year.

 
gambit60 2009-07-02 04:38:20 PM  
Just moved into Chicago this week... as soon as I can find a job I'll be in the bleachers at Wrigley (wearing a Red Sox jersey). So I can't really help get the two cities into a fight.

I could see a pretty good riot during a Cubs-Sox series though. They'd have to raise the bridges to keep everyone from killing each other.

/been to the Cell, still haven't made it to Wrigley
//have any connections in Lakeview bars for work?
