What made baseball fun this week: Reds are hotter than Hansel, Marcus Stroman carrying Cubs

The Dude of the Week, man: Marcus Stroman is doing more for the Chicago Cubs than Henry Rowengartner did back in 1993, to be totally honest

We weren’t expecting y’all either. It’s so easy to fall in love with the Lovable Losers known as the Chicago Cubs. Oh, they won that World Series that one time, but it’s been a lot of Tobias Fünke “oh my god! We’re having a fire … sale“s at the Friendly Confines of late. Forever epitomizing the win or lose, we still booze mantra, the North Siders may actually have another ace on their hands…

I do know what the following numbers mean, but is Marcus Stroman the best thing to happen to the Cubs since Henry Rowengartner toed the rubber in ’93 with John Candy in the booth, Brickma in a cage and Sgt. Drake Sabitch in the rotation?

I have only one response to this: Let the big dog eat!!!

I may like hats for my bats, flapping my wings or quite frankly, a little chaw action at the ole amusement park, but instead of getting really into the 60s and no one ever seeing me again, I’m going to get really into this Dookie, baby! I may be a total Basket Case, but When I Come Around on the Cubs, you know it is Anastasia Pulling Teeth for me to admit that, as I scream in silence…

Not even Tara Reid’s high school boyfriend can stop me from admitting Stroman is the finest thing in Chicagoland. Nadia is in shambles, as I am desperately looking to find Van Wilder’s phone to call her and tell her it’ll be okay. Stroman is not a band geek, you better believe Jim’s dad is damn proud of him! The Cubs were up Schitt’s Creek without a paddle until Stroman saved them.

Sadly, I don’t think Stroman will be sticking around Wrigley like he would have at Coolidge College.

This. Is. Florida. Baseball! | Just a bit outside… | So this is a thing now?!
