The “I’ll throw anything on the wall to see if it sticks” trade rumor guy has a three-way involving the Cubs.
In this scenario the Cubs give up the great Corey Patterson and everybody’s favorite crossword puzzle addict, Will Ohman, and somehow end up with Mariners’ outfielder Raul Ibanez and Boston utility man Tony Graffanino. You remember Tony, right? He’s the guy who turned that clutch double play in the Red Sox game-two win over the White Sox in the ALDS this year…oh, wait. He’s also the guy who lost a Cubs-Sox game for the Pale Hose when he took a grounder and ran to third for a force out…that wasn’t there. Now this guy was born to be a Cub!
Crazy rumor guy also has this gem about the White Sox and Miguel Tejada. Remember, I’m truly convinced Tejada is going to end up on the Sox and that life as we know it is just going to get worse and worse and worse. The rumor is that the Orioles have counterpropsed with the Sox and say they’d trade Miggy for Jose Contreras, Juan Uribe, Ryan Sweeney and Alex Woodson. Now that’s a high price to pay, but an acceptable one when you get a 30 year old who is the best shortstop in the game at an affordable (for big league baseball circa 2006) price tag. We’ll know if this trade rumor is true easily enough. If it’s true, Kenny Williams will say yes to it.
But Cubs fans, all is not lost. Augie Ojeda is back and he’s bringing a 260 pound outfielder and the Marquis de Sod, too!
Avani Patel with yet another rambling, incoherent look at Notre Dame’s 2006 football chances. Looks like they ought to stop playing Fiesta Bowls.
The Rams are after Chico.
The Sun-Times has it’s “columnists” pick the Most Valuable Bears from a list of four given by Brad Biggs. Biggs inexplicably picks Kyle Orton while Mariotti, Telander and Mulligan pick Brian Urlacher. Typically, Telander is on the “oh no the Bears didn’t lead the NFL in defensive yardage allowed” crying wagon.
The boys at Deadspin have uncovered information that Ohio State’s football team is going to get whacked hard with probation now that the season is over. They claim that the NCAA decided on a punishment earlier but didn’t want it to come down until after this season so as to help out corporate partner ABC who had a couple of big Buckeye games (Texas at OSU and OSU at Michigan) to sell to advertisers. Nah, never!
Semi-retarded former Saints coach Jim Haslett will interview with the Lions. Oh, that’s too perfect.
Stewey says Texas will beat USC.
You know if you use the old Texas beat Ohio State and Ohio State killed Notre Dame and Notre Dame almost beat USC theory…nah, Austin Murphy disagrees with Stewey and is, of course, right.
Kelly Dwyer on how the Suns are learning to play defense and the Bulls are forgetting to play anything.
You won’t believe this, the Mets have traded Jae Seo and Tim Hamulack to the Dodgers for Duaner Sanchez and Steve Schmoll, and honestly, all four of those sound like made up names for the cast of Anchorman 2.
I could have told you that the Mets have traded Frank Fincher and Wes Mantooth to the Dodgers for Champ Kind and Brian Fantana and you’d have had the same reaction you did to the Seo-Hamulack-Sanchez, Schmoll deal.
Honestly, Hamulack is a tremendous last name. I like to say it. Hamulack. In fact, I’m saying it now.
America’s finest news source with the tale of a guy who just wiped out who now says he’s fine.
It sure doesn’t take a KD column to let people know we suck. Please put us out of our misery.
I think the caption on the Tice picture was truncated.
Must be on a Redskin site or something.
I’m a proud ND grad and I prove it by being a whiney little bitch!!!!
priceless…
I’d better explain the Chuck Redskin link reference.
In yesterday’s column in the comments there was a link to another blog and in the comments on that blog (hang with me), Chuck had posted, told the guy how much he loved his site and how he’d linked to the guy’s blog, with a link of his own to prove it. A couple of comments later I replied to the huge amount of pro-Redskin comments with something like, “I’m sure there’s a Redskin blog that Chuck links to that you could all go to.”
Not my best work. But that’s what it was.
Carry on.
I’m still just sitting here at my desk, shocked that Lindsay Lohan lied last year when she said she was “exhausted” when being admitted to a hospital, when all along it was a inflamed liver and infected kidney brought on by her bullimia, alcoholism and drug use.
She’s in another hospital now for “an asthma attack”. What is she REALLY in for, a D&C to abort Lawrence Taylor’s baby?
Great Dose today. I mean it. Yesterday was pretty good too, but it was full of anger and bitterness. I’m sure Andy kicked his dog a few times while he wrote it. But overnight something wonderful and mysterious happened. Andy had one of me, and it was as if the weight of the world had been lifted from his colon. Today he’s his old chipper, sarcastic and witty self. Just as we like him.
Wow. I get it now.
You are cyber stalking me.
And, the guy at NFLSpam couldn’t come up with more pics of Miss Quinn. I was actually promoting the similarity of Ms. Quinn to Secretariat.
Nay!
got salad?
Sloth:
Lindsay is in for epidermal carcinoma removal. She looks like a shaved dalmation.
After a bear claws off his “other” arm.
Ahhh! This is gettin’ re-God-damn-diculous!
Are we still talking about Laura Quinn? Enough already. She looks like trailer trash.
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded.
I would prefer to think of Jim Essian as a former White Sox player.
Hey there Mike Vick. I’m that guy you wish you were.
When I’m not driving drunk, I’m smoking the reefer, bitches.
Brave!
As a Pitt fan, the headline I dream of waking up to find is:
“Minnesota/Green Bay Seek Permission to Interview Wannstedt.”
I can dream, can’t I?
Greatest. Title. Ever. I’m tearing up…
To Sloth: Lindsay Lohan admitting to being a bulimic drug user was the absolute biggest shock since Paris Hilton’s last sex tape came out. And, actually, she’s in the hospital for an abortion on Jose Canseco’s baby…
To “Geezer”:Wow..I had no idea Joe Paterno posted here!
And to #16, it is not “Mike Vick”, it is Ron Mexico, of course. We should all know that by now…
I can’t believe I’m missing out on all the fun.
I’m playing in the WBC. Hold your breath Cub fans. My hamstring is just itching to explode.
The Desipio budget cuts are killing this site.
well good morning and a hearty happy new year to everyone out there
in chicagoland folks. honesty compels me to say that I’m
very happy folks to be back in contact with you right here
from Orlando, the home of my imaginary family and also
from Hotlanta, home of the brav-os.
Woops.
What does it say about SI that I still have a job? I am such an insufferable assface, it’s not even funny.
H
Laura Quin Laura Quin yes. She is so hot. There needs to be more pictures of her. More of Laura Quin.
To Geezer what do you mean? Laura Quin looks amazing. Her body is shaped to perfection. Her face is hot just like her body. There needs to be more Laura Quin pictures.
Brady wasn’t the only Quinn I nailed the other day.
Wait, didn’t we have a game scheduled for today?
Why isn’t there more Laura Quinn pictures. She is so sexy. Her body is shaped the right way. The Ohio State Notre Dame game needed to show more of Laura Quinn. If they wanted to make the show even better they needed to show her in a bikini or even better … There needs to be more Laura Quinn pictures.
I agree with #33. There does need to be more Laura Quinn pictures. I mean she is sexy. The tv coverage of Ohio State Notre Dame was bad, because there was too much football not enough Laura Quinn. Laura Quinn is one of the sexiest women in the world. They did need her in a bikini, no that covers too much. Laura Quinn pictures.
I rest my case
Laura Quinn is sexy. She is sexy and hot. Laura Quinn’s breasts look amazing. They are perfectly shaped and are the best looking. Her butt is the perfect size and shape.
To Geezer
Are you crazy. We don’t talk about Laura Quinn enough. I know that you (Geezer) can’t name one body part of Laura Quinn that isn’t sexy. I know that no one can because there isn’t one. Laura Quinn isn’t getting enough attention. You (Geezer) realy just want to meet Laura Quinn nude and I don’t blame you, I do too.
Laura Quinn is hot. She is so sexy. I wouldn’t mind having sex with her. Her breasts are the best I have ever seen. Laura deserves to be paid. I would pay to see her any day. She is a sex symbol.
What is the big deal with Laura Quinn? I agree she is sexy but still.
The big deal with Laura Quinn is she is very sexy. She has all the right features, sexy body shape, cute face, sexy breasts, greatly shaped butt, great hair color, and smoothe skin. The only problem with Laura Quinn is she wears to much. I mean some lipstick and hand cream would be nice.
Andy, please turn us off again.
Laura Quinn is very hot. She is just so sexy. I wouldn’t mind seeing her in a bikini. Actually Laura Quinn wearing a bikini is just too much. She needs to wear chapstick only. There needs to be a lot more Laura Quinn sexy pictures around and she better not have much on.
I no understand all talk about Laura Quinn, Woman de Medicine.
All I know is I hit 4 honron and had 20 RBI in Caracas. I no get tired. I always ready for catching and hitting.
Me and Z playing for Venezuela. We win, like no problem.
