look at this creep

(Source) Mayor Rahm Emanuel made a bet with the St. Louis mayor over the National League playoff series between the Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals. However, St. Mayor Francis Slay turned down the wager. If the Cubs lost, Slay would have won Harry Caray’s chicken vesuvio, Lou Malnati’s pizza, Eli’s Cheesecake as well as tickets to the Willis Tower Skydeck.

“In the long and storied history of this rivalry, the Cubs and Cardinals have never met in the postseason. This series will be one to remember, and I wouldn’t bet against this Cubs team,” Mayor Emanuel said in a statement. “I have full confidence that when the dust settles on this series Chicago will fly the W, and I’ll be enjoying whatever St. Louis has to offer,” the statement continued. However, Slay rejected the bet, saying that he wouldn’t waste his staff’s time by arranging bets around sports, according to NESN. He also added: “Plus, it isn’t fair to other mayors.”

Do people understand what is at stake right now? Do they understand that the Cubs are fighting for all that is good and right and fun in this world? The St. Louis Mayor just rejected a mayoral bet with Rahm Emanuel because he doesn’t want to “waste his staff’s time”. What the fuck? All you have to do is call one of your shitty pizza places after the Cubs win and send something to Chicago. You got Wainooooo complaining about boner pill commercials and Matheny banning music in the clubhouse. On the other side of the field the Cubs. The young, fun, 0hater Cubs. I mean look at Jonny Herrera just an hour ago.

I’m pretty sure he’d get shot in the back for doing this if he was in St. Louis. This is a battle for America. This is a battle to not take yourself too seriously and have fun in life. This is a battle we need to win. Now. We. Go. #WeAreGood
