2012 Chicago Cubs

[Internet Apex]

Intrepid Reader: Chuck

Notice Epstein didn't explicitly say they weren't trading Castro. No denial from the czar, no future on the North Side.

He's gone.

Oh geez, I wasn't even that far off. Chuck's Twitter:

"Castro is one of the core players we are building around. Nothing has changed" - Theo. Unsaid: "It'll change if someone offers up huge."

I can't wait until this team is no longer awful.

Time marches on....time marches on.

If you look at the video of DeJesus' home run from today, you'll see an idiot in a blue striped shirt and backwards Cubs hat get elbowed for a ball.

I still got the ball.

French cuffs on that shirt?

So you still wear a baseball cap backwards? Man, you really are a douche.

How else is he supposed to wear his catcher's mask?

Maybe 12 people get this inside joke and I'm guessing no more than 3 actually find it funny.

Cubs signed LHP Hong-Chih Kuo to a minor league contract.

In his seven-year MLB career, the 30-year-old left-hander has had five elbow operations, two Tommy John surgeries, and missed significant time with an anxiety disorder.

Epstink is hilarious.

Epstink is hilarious.

 At age 30 he is in his prime.

My son insisted that we go to today's game for Fathers' Day.  I was counting on a rain out.  I didn't get it.  Damn!  Castro had another brain fart.  Marmol threw the game away.  Theriot was the fielding hero.  Happy Fathers' Day.
