And now, a Cubs no-hitter.

September 13, 2020

Alec Mills pitched a no-hitter today. And, Baez stole home. And, the Bears came from behind to beat the Lions. Glorious!

2nd one at Miller Park…Zambrano pitched one in 2008 against the Astros.

That’s all, my frendts…I’m going for a walk in the woods. Carry on!

Here’s your fucking recap: The Bears are down 20-6 in the 3rd.

September 13, 2020

Offense: Matt Nagy is an idiot.

Defense: These fucking assholes can’t stop a team when it matters the most. Give up a touchdown right before halftime. And at the start of the 3rd? The Lions march right down for another one. The defense has yet to sack Stafford. In fact, the entire defense doesn’t have any sacks if you catch my drift.

I’m just fucking done. I’m already exhausted from this team. They aren’t coming back to win this game.

The Bears begin Sunday and I’ve barely paid any attention.

September 10, 2020

Well, it may take me a bit to figure things out. I haven’t looked at the roster much. But I am certain I am ready for another year of shitty play-calling, blown leads, missed field goals, injuries and coaches lying about injuries. It’s just unfortunate no one will be in the stands to boo the piss out of this franchise. But like the last 35 years, I don’t think that’s worked. So hey, you never know?

The Bears are on the road against the Lions. I already hear there are injuries to “key” players. But again, does this really matter? It’s routine for the Bears to have this issue. Lack of depth is also an issue since the supposed general manager of this team doesn’t know how to draft players.

I said in May that the Bears will go 5-11. I don’t see myself shifting that prediction as I feel that’s a very accurate guess. They’ll win a game that no one expects them to. They’ll lose a few games (at least) that they could have easily won. Unfortunately, a shitty head coach is the reason why this will be the case (as it’s been the last 35 years).

Your thoughts are welcome. As always, there will be a recap after Sunday’s game.

Another ex-Cub is gone.

Lou Brock has left the building.

Worst trade in MLB history? You be the judge.

Your comments welcomed…IF anybody even cares.

Does it feel like football season?

August 22, 2020

If anything, the NFL should just cancel the Bears. I don’t even want to waste my energy writing about that fucking team at this fucking moment.

If anything, you can just read any article I’ve written about the Bears (along with the comments in them) since the inception of this website 12 years ago. NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

The Blackhawks are down 3-0. Kenny Albert is calling Game 4 to make sure the series ends.

August 16, 2020

I really had faith the Blackhawks could shock the hockey world and win the Stanley Cup this year. I really did. Damn, this has sucked.

I was ecstatic that they upset the Oilers. I truly felt they were on to bigger and better things.

Then came the Vegas Golden Knights. I have hated this team since they started. I won’t say they replaced the Red Wings at the top of teams I can’t stand. But they are certainly giving them a run for their money. The Blackhawks just can’t catch a break. They are hitting goal posts. Corey Crawford is letting in soft goals at times and when he doesn’t, his teammates in front of him are having defensive breakdowns.

Games 2 and 3 were close. Real close. But they haven’t been able to get it done.

No other excuses this time around. The Kiss of Death To Chicago Sports, Kenny Albert, calls Game 2 of the qualifying series and that’s the only game the Blackhawks lost there. But in this series, he didn’t call the first three games. Now, he’s in a position to call the last game of the season for the Blackhawks. Down 3-0, a miracle needs to happen. They need to win a game with that dweeb calling it.

Can the Blackhawks shock us once again by doing this and then, pull off a comeback for the ages?

For the love of God, please let it happen.

Cubs are playing like it really matters…but will it?

August 12, 2020

So, the Cubs are 12-3, and off to their best start since 1970.

They look great. It seems like David Ross is really connecting with the players, and taking care of business.

Normally I’d be checking the ball scores regularly, but I’m finding it hard to engage…and expecting the season to “end” before it’s completed.

Thoughts, anybody?

 

“I wanted to wish this website a happy 12th birthday. Dude, did you know that 12 is the number on my jersey?”

August 1, 2020

“Dude, remember back in 2005 when y’all came to a website to try to fire me? Remember when BobbyD vanished and y’all moved here? BobbyD was your horse. And when you don’t have your horses, you have to look for other ones. *Spits toothpick bits* Man, I don’t know. But dude, this guy you call Fro Dog jumped in. But a dog isn’t a horse. I mean, a dog is a mammal. It has four legs like a horse. Some dogs can run fast like horses. But it’s not a horse. Then KSMC stepped in (rest in paradise). After that, this Genrebuster dude followed up. *Spits toothpick bits* That’s three horses! By the way, does ‘Genrebuster’ have something to do with music? I like music.

You see any of the other teams I managed afterwards have websites with the mission to fire me? You don’t. But when I was in Chicago, you were writing me hate mail. You booed me. I also remember being told about a website talking about LaTroy being bad. Why? Because we’re African-American? Man, y’all racists! *Spits toothpick bits*

But hey, it’s been a while. You had your championship. *Spits toothpick bits* I would have gotten it for you if I just had my horses. *Spits toothpick bits* But dude, that’s just how it goes.

12 years is a long time. And if you go back to the first website you wanted to fire me at, dude, that’s 15 years. *Spits toothpick bits* So I guess, happy double birthday!

                                                                                                                           Yours truly, *Spits toothpick bits*
