What’s the point? Or, Theo bumped his head!

This is NOT a joke.

I don’t get it. This LOSER is the BEST option out there? So, the Cubs continue to be the farmclub for bums that can’t make it elsewhere.

What’s next…Milton FUCKING Bradley?

How long can this go on? On 2nd thought, don’t answer.

Yeti must be REALLY happy! Keep counting those beans!

anybody home?

anybody home?

Ladies and gentlemen, your thoughts. Consider this an “open” Cubs thread.

This could be the year…

The not-so-lovable lovers are back. And they beat the powerhouse Pittsburgh Pirates in their opener behind Samardzija’s 9 strikeouts.

So, here we are….again. Just not as many of us. For me, things have changed. After all these years of losing and PATHETIC ownership/management, my interest continues to fade. I don’t even know who is on the current Cubs roster.

There’s a part of me that really hopes that Theo can do for the Cubs what he did for the Red Sox…soon. Oh…it wasn’t Theo’s direction that made a difference? Regardless; the Red Sox erased years of futility…you shouldn’t compare them to the Cubs anymore.

Then again, this COULD be the year. Go Cubs Go!

turn your head….and cough

RIP Stan Musial and Earl Weaver…

Gentlemen (and the rest of you)…baseball lost the great “Stan the man” Musial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Musial  and Earl Weaver today.

It’s safe to say that Weaver was the more “colorful” of the two…and since we’re still in recovery from the “less colorful” Lovie, I offer the following for your pleasure…or displeasure.

Obit Earl Weaver Baseball

A fiery personality, to say the least. And the most successful manager in Orioles history.

“You’re here for one reason, to fuck us good!” – Earl Weaver

 

 

 

 

…does Jim Hendry work for Theo now?

Happy New Year,  everybody. This could be the year!

The Giants win the World Series…the Giant win the World Series…

October 29, 2012

…from our good friend Matt Stairs Superfan:

“Congratulations to San Francisco for winning their second World Series in three years. You see, when teams have good pitching, timely hitting and a strong farm system, they become very successful. Unlike the morons at Clark and Addison that have never figured out how to draft and develop actual talent, sign decent free agents and hire a manager who actually knows the game of baseball. PATHETIC!”

I’d like to add my sincere congratulations to Ryan Theriot for scoring the winning run of this World Series. His current employer is certainly a big step up from the pissant gig of playing for the Chicago Cubs. Two WS Series Championships in 3 years…must be nice!

…back at Wrigley Stadium the sheeple are preparing for a long, cold winter…and the clock is ticking, ever so faintly…

Food for thought.
