Nice season for the Cubs. They got to watch first hand as the Cardinals and Astros clinched playoff spots.
Dusty’s annoyed by talk about his contract extension. Not as annoyed as I am.
The Bulls could be close to trading Eddy Curry. To the Knicks? Do they really have anything left of use? Doesn’t sound like it.
Groucho hopes the Bulls can trade Eddy and also that TJ Ford can stay healthy.
Derrek Lee won the batting title. He went into yesterday’s game with a lead of .337 to Albert Pujols’ .330 and yet Len Kasper made it sound like he might be able to lose it. Maybe if he’d gone 0-12 and Albert had gone 12-12.
Phil Rogers talks up Manny and Papi. Gee, are they good? Who knew?
Mariotti says that if talking bad about the Sox motivates them, he’ll talk bad about them. It’s not like I picked three teams I hate just so that they’ll lose, or anything, either.
Pudge Rodriguez got Alan Trammell fired. Jim Leyland wants the job.
Jack McKeon’s out in Florida. Lou Piniella wants the job.
Marcus Vick apologizes for his obscene gesture.
Kyle Orton is not apologizing for his.
He is, however, lubricating it.
Peter King’s Monday Morning Quarterback.
Oh, and Peter can bitch all he wants about the “bad call” Tampa Bay-Detroit game, but I was watching the replays as the official was review it, and every time it looked like Pollard’s knee was out of bounds when he actually possessed the ball.
America’s finest news source says that there’s a guy in a Dartmouth philosophy class who just needs to shut his pie hole.
Normal Team signings Cubs signings
MIllwood or AJ Burnett Al Leiter
Juan Pierre or Damon Patterson/Pie platoon
Try to trade for big name outfielder Talk Burnitz into less money
Rafeal Furcal Cedeno
I see you cant use spacings on the post, that post makes absolutely no sense. Im sure you can figure it out. The Cubs will do their usual offseason crap was the point.
#1. What the F*ck are you trying to say?
We sold 3,099,000 seats and spent $100,000,000? Without Sosa. Without Wood. Without Nomar. And without Ramirez and Prior for a while?
Time to cut the budget.
I heard those Orton pics are from a bar in Iowa. Anybody know where?
And another thing: D-Lee was running on fumes the past six weeks and looked bad the last 10-15 games. A guy who can give him a breather at 1B once or twice a month would be nice.
Thoz pig-churs are from alongtim-uh go… Uhh… My hair… it’s zo mush shorter in thoz pig-churs. I’ve got, like, longer bangs ‘n stuff now. And my mole is kinda smaller, but tha’ might be the glaze of my goo’ fren’ Jack Daniels on my chin.
I tried to send over some drinks to these, like, haaaahhhht chicks from the Univers’ty of Iowa, but the drinks were intercepteded ‘n stuff.
Kyle Orton has a mole? My life is over.
Well, Kyle, my guess is you were sloshed Thursday night. If you zoom in on the TV screen, you’ll see the Red Sox-Blue Jays game. On the score line, you can zoom in and see that I am credited with going 3-for-4 with a double and a 2-run homer. I did that Thursday night versus Tampa.
I heard they were taken at a bar somewhere in Iowa during the Bears; bye week.
Dave B. I agree with you. They sure did abuse the fuck out a D-Lee without giving him much time off. Were lucky he did not get hurt!
By the way. Those pictures of Kyle are recent. If you look at the TV screen on the pic of him flippin the foreign affairs symbol, you can see that it’s the Boston Yankee game on Thursday the 29th.
Wait a second…you mean having both the asstrolls and the cards clinch on us was painfull for you? Whatever, gotta 3:00pm tee-time, see you next year.
Correction. #8 is right. It was against the Blue Jays. My bad!
Dudes, I couldn’t take D. Lee out of any of them blowout wins or losses, dudes. He’s my big, black stallion, like the book dudes. Hank Aaron handed me that book one time, and told me to read it, in my day, you did what your elders told you to. No sass from me back then, dudes. I actually batted behind Hank…dudes, this sucks, in all my years I ain’t never missed the playoffs. No excuses this year dudes, although I did have dem rookies, injuries, bad calls…no excuses though, dudes…none, not the day games, not the travel schedule, no way dudes, I take responsibility for my teams. Gotta clean up your own mess…gonna be hard to do though, seeing as there aren’t any good free agents out there, dudes…zzzzzzzzzz…..
If Corey is not traded in the off season what happens. Will the Cubs shoot some low salary number for arbitration…what amount would he be due? I think he made 2.7 million this year. So Probably around 3.5 to 4. That would suck bad!!!
Andy,
I deserve at least one final tribute on my fanclub website.
Dontcha think?
Why would Kyle the O be in Iowa City? I thought he mastriculated from Purdue? Or is that his ancestral home?
Runnels, Iowa…ok, my ba-a-a-a-a-a-d
Kyle hails from Iowa.
It’sh jest Dave B. sayin’ I wuz in Iowa. Only thing I know aboud Iowa is “I owe a” ton of drinks to the Bengalsss for catchin’ alluh my passeses.
Dave B. jest wants to talk aboud Iowa again. It’sh like he’s the Iowa version of the Sports Guy with his Iowa hard-ons.
‘Scuse me, I gotta pass out. Hope that’s not intercepteded, too.
Korey Patterson + Todd Walker to the Dodgers for Milton Bradley + Hee Seop Choi. Choi can play some LF in addition to being your backup 1B for Lee (ironic), but mostly, I want him back as a quality LH bat off the bench. We might have had the worst bench in baseball this year. Bradley solves leadoff and is a good CF. I hate Baker, but he can tame Milton.
To complement Choi, I’d like to get Rob Mackowiak from Pissburgh as the RH bat on my bench. He’s a versatile guy, and if we can get him to keep knocking up his wife, he’d be a quality bat for the bench. Pissburgh needs starting pitching, so how about Jerome Williams and Roberto Novoa for Mike Gonzalez + Rob Mackowiak?
I think it’s essential the Cubs spend some of their $40MM+ this offseason on AJ Burnett and Brian Giles, that’s a given.
Finally, how about Julio Lugo from Tampa? He should be available in trade, and frankly, I think he’s just as good if not better than Furcal at less money and less drunk tank bailouts. A Lugo/Cedeno middle infield sounds great.
Finally, Minnesota has way too many good relievers, but not much else other than Mauer and Santana. What trade could we offer them for one of JC Romero, Juan Rincon or Jesse Crain? Closer Joe Nathan is going nowhere. All of those relievers have first names that start with J, weird.
There’s a rich tradition of us.
I used to get the boys together to speed up to my summer home in Long Beach, Ind., get blitzed and then zip back to Rennssalaer before Halas woke up:
I was known to be a drunk and a jerk. Plus, the Bears sucked when I was their “quarterback”
I sucked as well, but I guess I helped the Bears to the playoffs in 1979. As a drunk, I have many DUIs in DuPage County to my credit (wouldn’t it have been great if Bob Thomas was my judge when he was still in the DuPage circuit courts?), plus I knocked out the big picture window at McGee’s on Webster with a golf club.
I won a Super Bowl, but I am always fully kreusened:
I don’t know if I ever got as drunk as Kyle Orton, but in my short tenure, I did more to encourage dangerous binge drinking among Bears fans than anyone else!
When I wasn’t applying for handicapped parking spaces, I could toss them back with the best of them!
Drunk? Oh, never mind. I was just punch drunk
And, c’mon! You think I wouldn’t throw a few back with my brother in law as we chase skanks around?
Ah, don’t worry, Kyle. I’ll keep a seat open for you at the next Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting at Maple School in Northbrook, my leafy, suburban paradise! Hey! Is my wife on the phone again, calling 9-1-1?
I’ll be a free agent. Sign me, Jim Hendry.
I don’t have an Iowa hard-on, Kyle. In fact, I haven’t been to an Iowa football game in over three years after not missing one from ’82 till ’98. I’m tired of fighting the crowds and the 11 a.m. starts. I would say my interest in Hawkeye sports is about 33% of what it used to be. I was just wondering if you were partying here in Iowa City because I could check some sources and get it confirmed.
I did attend the UNI-Western Illinois game in Macomb over the weekend. It was the drunkest I’ve ever seen that town. I think it should be called “Boob U’ the way most of the chicks looked.
Dude #20, I bat left-handed.
Don’t worry Hank, you’ll get a worthy offseason send off.
I’ll actually finish off “I resent the inference” too.
I’m looking forward to the playoff gamecasts. It’s going to be a great opportunity to get rid of all the frustration and anger that this Cubs season has been. It’s also a great chance to rip the asstros, the sux and the La rus-ass for one final time this season. I hope everybody here brings their A-game and let’s make this gamecasts the best ones of the year.
#20, I’m a free agent on a team that does not like me. Why are you trading for me? I would agree that I am good for the money, although I am a nut job. I would love to play next to Brian Giles.
What’s Milton Bradley got that I don’t?
Spelling.
I am OUTTA HERE!
And I’m taking my bum ticker with me.
#20, remember when I was cut by the Astros after I slammed my wife/girlfriend’s grill on the hood of a car? Team me with Milton Bradley, Raffy Furcal, Kenny Rogers, Kyle Farnsworth, and Julian Tavarez. F’ing with Dusty is fung, mang.
People actually want me at 2B next year? My offensive #s will probably be Neifi-like.
I walked five times in 80 at bats. Neifi walked 18 times in almost 600.
I hit .355 at AAA Iowa.
The tribune says that the white sox have more of me, than the red sox do!
I’ll take a chance on Cedeno beating Neifi’s pathetic #s….
He looked pretty good in a limited role this year.
Well I am pissed!
They were from a bar called the Stadium out at Univ. of Iowa
The bar that Kyle Orton was at is called The Union Bar. It is the biggest bar in the big ten and the best bar in Iowa City…A lot of professional athletes go there to cut loose
hey sloth kyle did not grow up in runnells, he grew up in altoona iowa.
Those pictures were taken at the Union bar in Iowa City.
