Thursday, October 4th, 2007A lot has been made out of Lou Pinella’s decision to pull Zambrano after six innings in last night’s game, and its easy to criticize the move after the fact.
For the record I was against it at the time. The logic didn’t quite make sense. He was pulling his top pitcher in a tied game […]
Drinking the Cool Aid
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007Only a few hours until game time. Despite all my efforts not to get overly excited about Cubs playoff run, I find myself getting pumped up for tonights game. I know I’m just asking to have my heart crushed again, but everyone else is doing it, so why can’t I?
What’s I find really strange is […]
Playoff Predictions
Monday, October 1st, 2007As my weekly NFL picks have shown, I’m not exactly good at predicting these sorts of things, but I’m doing it anyways.
ALDS
Boston Red Sox over Los Angeles Angels in 4.
Cleveland Indians over New York Yankees in 5
NLDS
Arizona Diamondbacks over Chicago Cubs in 4 (sniff)
Philadelphia Phillies over San Diego Padres in 4 (Yes that means I […]
Cubs Sale
Friday, September 21st, 2007Interesting article on ESPN about the sale of the Cubs. Talks about a few of the groups looking to buy them, including Mark Cuban and a number of other parties. It also mentions that crazy guy in the pink hat that sits in the front row behind home plate. I always wondered about him. Anyways, […]
All Time Gold Glove Team
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007I just saw that Joe Morgan beat out Ryne Sandberg at second base for the old time gold glove team in fan voting. That’s just retarded. This just confirms my suspition that most baseball fans are morons and shouldn’t be allowed to vote on anything, much less “All Time fill in the blank” awards.
From the Rooftops
Monday, August 20th, 2007My company has an annual Cubs outing. These event’s are somewhat legendary as they traditionally involved many of our clients and free drinks starting at 10 or 11 AM and going on until the last person dropped. This is only my second year at my job and last year they opted not […]
Cardinals Anyone?
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007Ummmmm…….
Not that I’m the first one to mention this or anything, but the cardinals are getting a little too close for comfort. That team should have been left for dead months ago, and yet here they are within striking distance of first place. While the Cubs and Brewers try to out suck each other the […]
Don’t Trade Jones
Saturday, August 11th, 2007Nothing like a trip to Colorado to cure your hitting woes. Amazingly the Cubs pitchers have been able to more or less shut down the Rockies’ high powered offense at the same time.
With the absence of Soriano and Ramirez these last few days, now is the time when we need Jacque Jones to […]
The Sky is Falling
Monday, August 6th, 2007A few months ago, when the Cubs were just starting their amazing run I cautioned people not to get too excited. I thought they would get within a few games of 500 or maybe to within shouting distance of the Brewers, and then just when we got our hopes up they’d go on one of […]
Productivity Loss
Thursday, July 26th, 2007The Cubs recent performance is absolutely killing my productivity. I don’t anything done at night anymore because I’m always trying to catch the Cubs game. Usually by this time of year I’m either so disgusted with the team that I don’t even watch at all, or they’re playing so poorly that I can only tolerate […]
