It is time to sacrifice the goat

PrintYou might be thinking this is a post about Bob Howry. Well it is not, kind of. You might be thinking this is a post about Z or Marquis. It not, kind of.
No, this post is about sacrificing a goat, more specifically the Cubs Goat.
[History: This might be boring]
Although many Hindus are vegetarian, there are some temples in India where goats and chickens are sacrificed. These sacrifices are mainly done at mandirs following the Shakti school of Hinduism where the female nature of Brahman is worshipped in the form of Kali Ma.
Kali Ma is a Hindu goddess associated with death and destruction. The name Kali means 'force of Kala or time' which makes all things transient. Despite her negative connotations, she is not actually the goddess of death, but rather of Time and Change.
The point: Hindus would sacrifice goats to bring about change. That is what this team needs is change. So I say we need to sacrifice the Cubs’ Goat.
So I propose we vote to see which goat gets it. Will it be Howry, Z, Marquis, or someone else. It should be cathartic and it would be nice to get all our frustrations out at once.
So vote and make your case for who we should sacrifice. Hopefully by tomorrow the Cubs will have won and all our frustrations will be tabled for a few days.

Sooo...you're suggesting we form an angry mob...
…drag one of these players from the Cubs clubhouse, throw him on an alter and murder him in some sort of ritualistic ceremony? I just want to know what I’m signing up for here.

Yes, but only metaphorically speaking.
This post in no way condones any kind of real animal or human sacrifices.

It was more a play on words.
I but I too agree it should go away

I Love It
The whole Ted Lilly looking like a Mass Murderer thing! I nearly fell off my chair from laughing so hard!
I loved this
From Lilly’s serial killer look to pooping on Howry’s "fast"ball to US Grade A Daryle, this was a classic poll. Good work.
This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.

So we're not going to drag Howry out onto an alter
and sacrifice him in some sort of ritualistic ceremony? Did he not win the vote? ^
Damn, that was the most excited I’ve been in 5 days. Way to set me up, and then yank the rug out from under me….
So..
are we going to get some food or what? Chicken, goat cheese, whatever.
I’m hungry!
There's the idea!
Turn the goat into goat cheese!
