Arrr, Cubbies need to bring base runners home or else their post-season will be sunk to Davy Jones’ locker.

Cubs fans be in for another dissapointment. They don’t have t’ pitchin’ or t’ hittin’ t’ get out o’ t’ first round. Sweet Lou be great, but be only human.

Talk like a pirate, huh?

How’s this, “Why pay money for the new 50 Cent album when you can download it for free at http://thepiratebay.org/ instead?”

Oh wait, I mean “Why pay money for virus protection when you can download the home use edition of Avast! virus protection for free at http://tinyurl.com/fzrhw (Avast… pirates… get it? hello? hello? cricket… cricket…)

Alright, how’s this, “I sure hope we reach land soon because the appeal of sodomy is rapidly diminishing.”

“Aaargh, matey!”

Indeed.

the appeal of sodomy is rapidly diminishing.

Have we reached the point where we are going to drink each other’s water?

If the cubs had kept AAAARRRRdsma, they would be a shoe in for a win today.
