So they weren't cool with gang banging a ventriloquist while dressing up as teletubbies?

Bunch of sissies

It happened in Tampa, but at least here you can say:

2016

They got the title but yeah grown men don't really want to play dress up every road trip.

This is just part of the information flow to get folks ready for David Ross as your 2019 Cubs manager.

He hasn't been relevant since the Police Academy movies.

He was in that movie with Ted Danson and Magnum PI.

Who didn't see this coming? Having magicians and petting zoos is alright for guys new to the majors just happy to be there. As these guys grow into veterans, they won't want to deal with this clown shit.

I trace it back to the 2016 playoffs, and Joe's utter refusal to accept criticism or take responsibility for mistakes. Shit he won't even admit he could have made a mistake...ever.

That inability showed him to be a charlatan. A little thicker skin and acceptance of certain responsibilities and these players would still be eating his shtick up.

The article reads like a Score intern wrote it. Embarrassing.

I knew this would happen. I said it after Joe's first year.

It's one thing when they're all rookies or 2nd year players. Eventually it's not cool to dress the boys up in diapers for road trips. Although I have a feeling Schwarber is the one guy that will always love this.

I've always loved Colleen Camp and Leslie Easterbrook. They're old ladies now but I'd still give 'em a spin.

this article is purely a ghost of rick telander's rotting brain. he'll always believe the rebuild was trash and that anything theo and jed decide, its being done the wrong way. fuck the sun times and fuck rick telander with a rolled up sports section of his 12 part series on mike adamle

I think Joe is pointing out that Telander did not write the article. It was written by the top Cub pom pom waiver on the Sun Times staff

I was implying it read a lot like telander just rambling off criticisms because things are new and different than how he remembers them

I know it wasn't telander. that's why I implied it was ghost written because it came off as one of his usual complaint articles.

Can we please get this thread back on track.

A couple of the chicks in Cocoon were hot back in the 30s/40s.
