NL Central preview

Gentleman Jim: um NL Central?
Shaun Parent: Cubs.
Gentleman Jim: Cubs.
Gentleman Jim: It's really just between Brewers, Cubs and Cards.
Shaun Parent: Yeah
Shaun Parent: When your team loses to a community college in Spring Training, that's never a good sign.
Gentleman Jim: lol
Gentleman Jim: Yeah
Shaun Parent: I'm looking at you, Pittsburgh.
Shaun Parent: I mean seriously.
Gentleman Jim: Cory's quiet because he's trying to talk himself into his Cardinals.
Shaun Parent: I know colleges play MLB teams once in a blue moon.
Shaun Parent: But COMMUNITY COLLEGES?
Shaun Parent: AND LOSING?
Shaun Parent: The Astros have no shot
Gentleman Jim: Just not enough of anything there.
Shaun Parent: And I pity anyone who plays for the Reds.
Gentleman Jim: Yeah, but they've got some good young talent.
Coryhouser: No, I'm waiting for you guys to dry your cum off your overrated Cubs
Shaun Parent: The Reds and the Pirates are going to have a good old-fashioned suck-off.
Gentleman Jim: Hey come on now.
Gentleman Jim: PG-13
Coryhouser: I agree with Shaun on that
Gentleman Jim: Yeah, its not gonna be pretty.
Shaun Parent: Cory's just pissed that Albert Pujols has yet to grace the cover of Manhole Weekly.
Coryhouser: lol
Gentleman Jim: lol
Coryhouser: Shaun's issue with D. Lee in it is all wite-out now
Coryhouser: *cough*
Coryhouser: Well then
Gentleman Jim: Um what?
Shaun Parent: Wite-out?
Coryhouser: ........
Coryhouser: You guys seriously can't be that dense
Gentleman Jim: I just don't understand that sentence you just wrote.
Coryhouser: "Wite-out"
Coryhouser: The product
Coryhouser: Get it
Coryhouser: White liquid
Gentleman Jim: Struggle
Coryhouser: All over the page
Shaun Parent: Not only are Cardinals fans not funny, they have grammar skills a Special Olympics softball player would admire.
Gentleman Jim: lol
Coryhouser: WITE-OUT IS A PRODUCT YOU FAT PIG
Shaun Parent: HEY GO FUCK YOURSELF
Coryhouser: GO TO KFC AND ORDER ALL OF THEIR LEGS YOU PIECE OF SHIT
Gentleman Jim: Gentlemen.
Coryhouser: lmao
Shaun Parent: I WILL FUCK YOU.
Coryhouser: roflmao
Shaun Parent: ...UP.
Coryhouser: Okay fine
Coryhouser: Back on topic
Coryhouser: I can see the Cubs winning 100 games this season
Gentleman Jim: What do we think about the Brewers
Coryhouser: They are hungry
Coryhouser: CAN I TALK
Shaun Parent: I think the Brewers are my pick for the Wild Card.
Coryhouser: god
Gentleman Jim: Really?
Gentleman Jim: I'm not sure they have enough pitching.
Shaun Parent: Well yeah, that's the killer.
Shaun Parent: But the offense on that team gives me a hard on.
Shaun Parent: I'm not even kidding.
Gentleman Jim: Yeah gonna be a lot of 9-8 games.
Shaun Parent: Watching Prince Fielder devour a cheesy beef burrito as he rounds the bases.
Gentleman Jim: No he can't.
Gentleman Jim: He's a vegetarian now.
Shaun Parent: WHAT?!
Gentleman Jim: Swear to God
Shaun Parent: Then f*ck him. Brewers lose the Wild Card.
Coryhouser: Yeah, he can stand to lose a few 15 pounds now
Coryhouser: So maybe he won't be out of breath by the time he reaches 1st base on a ground ball
Shaun Parent: rofl
Coryhouser: LEG IT OUT PRINCE
Coryhouser: LEG IT OUT
Coryhouser: AH F*CK IT
Coryhouser: Just, jog
Coryhouser: yeah there ya go
Coryhouser: good boy
Shaun Parent: See, Cory. Only Mo Vaughn could hit a line drive down the first base line and get thrown out.
Coryhouser: lol
Coryhouser: Yes
Coryhouser: Uhh
Coryhouser: The Wild Card, I think
Coryhouser: Is going to be who finishes second in the NL Central again
Coryhouser: Definitely not 2nd in the NL West
Gentleman Jim: hmmm
Coryhouser: That's for damn sure
Shaun Parent: Yeah.
Coryhouser: Maybe the Mets/Phillies
Coryhouser: But with how the Braves played today
Gentleman Jim: Yeah
Coryhouser: I dunno
Coryhouser: They might be in the mix too
Coryhouser: And again
Coryhouser: The Astros
Gentleman Jim: NO
Coryhouser: "Hi, we'll suck the first 100 games"
Shaun Parent: rofl
Coryhouser: "But then actually START playing the last 62"
Coryhouser: It's happened the last 5 years now
Coryhouser: well 4
Coryhouser: 2004, 05, 06, 07, and in 08 too
Coryhouser: Somehow got 3rd
Gentleman Jim: Cory, pitch the case for the Cardinals.
Shaun Parent: This is where I'll file my fingernails.
Coryhouser: Even though I'm awarding third place to the Cardinals because the Astros didn't get to play one last game
Coryhouser: Pansies
Coryhouser: Uhh
Coryhouser: Well Shaun just listen
Gentleman Jim: The floor is yours.
Coryhouser: As most of you have read from my blog
Coryhouser: *Cough*
Shaun Parent: Sucks.
Coryhouser: What it's going to boil down to
Coryhouser: Is really 3 things:
Coryhouser: 1) Can Schumaker play 2nd base, or were we screwed from the beginning by not going after a second baseman?
Coryhouser: 2) Can our middle relief/closers not blow 32 saves, and umpteen more games this season when we have a decent sized lead?
Coryhouser: And 3)
Coryhouser: Can Pujols and Carpenter stay healthy enough this season to contribute their usual big numbers?
Coryhouser: If the answer to all 3 of those questions is yes
Coryhouser: I'd say the Cardinals have the Wild Card locked, and MIGHT
Coryhouser: MIGHT
Coryhouser: MIGHT
Coryhouser: Might contend for the Central title
Shaun Parent: See, I picked Carpenter up in my Fantasy Baseball draft.
Shaun Parent: So that jerk needs to do something.
Coryhouser: Thoughts, guys?
Coryhouser: Does that sum it up pretty well?
Gentleman Jim: Sure.
Shaun Parent: Sucks.
Coryhouser: Whatever
Shaun Parent: rofl
Gentleman Jim: I really want to start the Chris Carpenter argument again.
Coryhouser: Don't
Shaun Parent: Uh oh.
*** Coryhouser has left the chat.
Shaun Parent: oh wtf
Gentleman Jim: And there he goes.
*** Coryhouser has joined the chat.
Coryhouser: fafafafafafafafa
Shaun Parent: He got lagged.
Gentleman Jim: Or his casserole is done.
Shaun Parent: rofl
Gentleman Jim: Ok the Cardinals.
Gentleman Jim: I think its gonna hurt you not keeping Aaron Miles
Shaun Parent: Who is now a Cub.
Gentleman Jim: Inconsequential.
Gentleman Jim: But still.
Gentleman Jim: And I don't know about your bullpen.
Coryhouser: Ok
Shaun Parent: Who's the closer now?
Coryhouser: Motte
Gentleman Jim: Motte
Coryhouser: Jason Motte
Coryhouser: Almost unhittable Pre-season
Shaun Parent: Isringhausen got the boot, right?
Coryhouser: I think it's a good choice
Coryhouser: Yes
Coryhouser: He's with
Coryhouser: The
Coryhouser: Uhh
Shaun Parent: He's pitching for...?
Gentleman Jim: preseason means nothing
Coryhouser: .....
Shaun Parent: Blue Jays?
Gentleman Jim: Blue Jays
Gentleman Jim: (I'm guessing)
Shaun Parent: Yeah, have fun in Canada.
Coryhouser: Whatever Jim
Shaun Parent: Where they don't give two sh*ts about baseball.
Gentleman Jim: Presseason doesn't mean much.
Coryhouser: Whatever you say
Gentleman Jim: Ok then.
Coryhouser: Why have it then
Coryhouser: If it doesn't mean anything
Coryhouser: Why not have them jerk around at their own stadium
Gentleman Jim: It's warmup.
Coryhouser: Uh huh
Shaun Parent: Why have NFL, NHL, NBA preseason?
Gentleman Jim: It's nothing real.
Shaun Parent: SKO
Coryhouser: Alright then
Coryhouser: I'm not going to get into this
Gentleman Jim: Fine, another day.
Shaun Parent: Indeed.
