	<description>Baker, Hendry, Angelo and Smith were tossed. Now, it&#039;s Tom&#039;s turn. Let&#039;s not stop until mediocrity is out of Chicago.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[yep, that sums it up Ernie. The Reds may be bad this year...and they have made the mistake of hiring Dusty Baker...but the Cubs organization by comparison is PATHETIC.

Anybody that doesn&#039;t believe me can look at the last 100 years or so to get a clue.

		<description><![CDATA[Genre -

Those fans in Cincinnati recognize dog poop when they see it, the smell is especially bad when you step in it. They don&#039;t need to come to the ballpark to have it shoved up their noses. The Cub &quot;fans&quot; have been around the smell of losing so long they can&#039;t smell the stench any longer - even when Cub ownership smears their faces in it. 

Cincinnati fans aren&#039;t used to losing like this, they have a proud history (The Big Red Machine), and have had a successful organization in the past. 

Gary Matthews on Cub fans and losing -

&quot;They&#039;re used to it around here.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too bad this doesn&#039;t happen at Wrigley stadium:

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=290831217

&quot;CINCINNATI -- Shhh!

A tiny crowd finally cheered when Darnell McDonald scored from third base on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday, giving the Cincinnati Reds a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in a makeup game played with tennis-match silence most of the time.

Fewer than 2,000 fans showed up for the first game of a day-night doubleheader at Great American Ball Park, which turned into a red-seat echo chamber. Fans could hear the players&#039; banter. Players could hear the fans&#039; chatter. It didn&#039;t take long to take a head count.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chucky to the Big Zero -

&quot;If you’re injured, get off the field and stay off. Otherwise, my recommendation would be for you to take yoga lessons, so that you might gain the necessary flexibility to remove your goddamned head from your ass!&quot;
.........................

Post of the day!!!!

Could someone please tape that over the Big Zero&#039;s locker, thank you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cubs manager Lou Piniella says he isn&#039;t keeping an eye on the wild-card standings, where his team has four others to pass.

&quot;I don&#039;t pay attention to anything,&quot; he said. &quot;Nobody gives us a chance. Just keep it that way.&quot;
........................

&quot;I don&#039;t pay attention to anything.&quot; Truer words were never spoken, Louie. You&#039;ve been sound asleep since Spring Training. Cubs lose 4-1 to a Mets team that doesn&#039;t have half their regular players! Zambrano is a joke, he&#039;s beyond a joke, he&#039;s Soriano without a brain. Trade him, NOW, while he still has a smidgen of value. 

Just put a clown nose on Piniella and give him a horn, he&#039;s not good for anything else except to laugh at him, and the Cub management.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first headline on Cubs.com: &quot;Zambrano plans to improve on return outing&quot;.

4 runs 11 hits in 3 and 1/3 innings. 

What exactly was your plan Carlos? Aside from shooting off your mouth and acting like a childish assbag?

		<description><![CDATA[Ernie,

It is PATHETIC. It is embarrassing. This is one of the few blogs I have read in the last few years that has real fans who understand what is wrong and what needs to be done. All of us here actually have a clue and an idea of what needs to be fixed.

Now will our ideas work for this team? Maybe. Maybe not. But at least we think outside the box. It certainly wouldn&#039;t hurt to try. 

The sheeple on the other hand think it&#039;s cute and funny that this team has a bunch of morons who run it and a bunch of overpaid selfish people who play a kids game and get paid millions of dollars whether or not they suck at the game. When a player sucks, the sheeple defend them.

Wait til next year. 101 years without a championship. How embarrassing is that?]]></description>
