Truth hurts, huh? Kinda speaks for itself when a mascot is bigger news than the new manager now doesn't it?

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Is there more media coverage over the new mascot, or was there more media coverage over the Renteria hire?

Did the new manager hire give the sports talkers fodder for a full week? Were local news/sports affiliates in cities big and small carrying stories about Renteria? Did the Cubs have to issue a press release asking people to stop talking about and making fun of their manager hire? Nope.

Seems to me the one who is ignoring this is being stupid.

Even if the Cubs signed Cano the Clark mascot would get more media coverage.

Even if the Cubs signed Cano the Clark mascot would get more media coverage. Pretty simple to figure out why.

This seems like it was done by a lesser Ricketts pro bono.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

It's news because people actually care about the Cubs.

I didn't even know the White Sox had a mascot until I saw Frank's wedding pictures.

You said that it looks like the Cubs just went to a costume store and bought a Bear costume

That is exactly what the Suns did.

The Suns Gorilla is one of the more famous mascots in the NBA. For the first eleven seasons of their existence in the NBA, the Suns had no official mascot. An early attempt was made involving a sunflower costume, but it never caught on.[24] In the winter of 1980, a singing telegram (sent by James Oberhaus, a loyal fan) named Henry Rojas from Eastern Onion Telegram service was sent to the arena in a gorilla costume. Security saw him and suggested to him to stay for a while to entertain the fans during the breaks. He kept coming to games until officially invited to be the Suns' mascot.

Maybe the Cubs should have a spider as a mascot. That would be creative - nonsensical, but, hey, creative.

Please explain why. Some don't seem to get it.

Who cares anyway

I dont think any mascots are creative, but by your standards the Phoenix Gorilla and Clark are equal.

And Southpaw is a rip off apparently, so I guess that's not creative.

I dont really care much about any of it.

No. If it was the Phoenix Gorillas then it would be equal. Read my whole point next time.

Are you seriously saying that Southpaw is a ripoff of a wall in Boston? I must have missed something here.

I dont really care much about any of it.

Yeah, you do.

I don't think Southpaw is an intentional ripoff of Wally or the Phanatic. I think someone just said "I dunno, make a bright furry thing" and voila.

And THAT is creative

Keep on saying you don't care.

Once again, you agree with me that it isn't creative, so I don't know what your point is here.

If you really don't care, you would say "Yeah, he's right, let's talk about something else". Instead, you are arguing semantic points on timelines of reasons I gave for it not being creative, when you agree it isn't creative!

Why does it matter if it's creative?

And no, not caring does not = Boilermaker Rick is right.

No, but saying you don't think it was creative means you agree with me. Still not sure of your point here...

This question blew my mind.

Other interesting questions.
Why does it matter if movies are interesting?
Why does it matter if vacations are fun?
Why does it matter if food is tasty?

So, no answer, then.

If you asked me what Detroit Lions mascot was, I'd guess it was a lion. I don't even know if they have one. But, I'd still go with "it's a lion" or "a guy dressed in a lion costume". I would not consider it creative and I would not care.
