Sunday Gif Funnies: Only Dicks do the wave at Wrigley

Submitted by CubbyBlue on

 

So it's the 9th inning of an admittedly meaningless, end of the season game.
The 22-games-out Cubs are beating the 100-loss Houston Astros two to one.
This is nothing, right?
But if you actually paid money to get in the game, this is hopefully why you came:
Sean Marshall's on the mound with his wicked hook, the bases are loaded with Astros and there's only one out - it's all the baseball drama you could hope for.
But as Crunch pointed out yesterday, there in the background are Cub fans gleefully doing the wave.
At Wrigley Field.
The freaking wave. 
And all I could think was: what a buncha...well now you know where the idea for this cartoon gif came from.
It's not like Cub Fans need any help with the ditzy "they don't know about baseball" reputation.
And it's not like there are signs up around the park prohibiting it.
But the wave has been vehemently banned at Wrigley Field forever.
By fans.
Now, I am not saying you can't go have fun at the ballpark - I try to make that my business.
But for Harry's sake, man: can we please not see the wave at Wrigley again?
If only for the simple reason that even if the Cubs are terrible, I can take solace in the fans being cool enough to not. Do. The. Wave.
Okay?
If you absolutely feel like you have to dance at a baseball game, do that stupid YMCA thing.
But leave the wave at the door.
That's all.

Jesus, I need a Budweiser and a nice loud Gary Fencik helmet to helmet.

By the way, Marshall struck out Jose Altuve, and then got Humberto Quintero to ground out to Barney, and it was glorious baseball.

I apologize to all the Dicks I used in the illustration: Dick Nixon, Dick Allen, Dick Cheney, Dick Van Dyke, Dick Tracy, and Dick Jauron. 
And I apologize for my obscene double entendre.
But not really.

Castro SS, Campy RF, LaHair LF, Pena 1B, Byrd CF, DeWitt 2B, LeMahieu 3B, Hill C, Dempster P ...also from Carrie M's twitter yesterday "Tourists back at Wrigley. They're doing the wave. Sit down." ...and george "give me your money and shut up" lucus and his army of fact checkers are deploying "Star Wars Day" upon Wrigley like they've done about a dozen other ballparks lately. hate this kinda stuff...

Football 101 says there are at least four tried & true ways to counteract the blitz: 1) run the football; 2) use the shotgun; 3) keep your tight ends in to block; 4) have your receivers break off routes Mike Martz is the most stubborn man alive.

While it is nearly inconcievable that Castro stopped running on Pena's almost HR, when reaching the bag at 3rd, the replay showed that the ump was signalling HR when Castro was between 2nd and 3rd. Then, Castro slowed down and trotted. That isnwhy Quade got tossed. But it makes one think, wtf was asshole 3rd base "De Crap-Ass" doing? Was he not screaming and waving him home yelling "RUN!"? I guess not.

Right now Ninja may be the best garbage time reliever in the business. A guy who can give you a good two innings when you're starter implodes. He's invaluable on a team with a starting staff as horrible as the Cubs'. Set up man? Don't make me laf. Only good teams need one. The Cubs don't need a setup man. They need some decent starting pitching. Give Marshall a shot before he leaves town in disgust.

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.
