Thanks to friend of Desipio Steve Holley and his Cubs Talk Web site whenever one of us writes a column on the Cubs, he posts it on his site, too. Earlier this month, Cubs Talk joined The Insiders network and so when something is added to Cubs Talk it is also picked up by Yahoo.com.
That’s right. Not only was our long winded Cubs Hot Stove Report published here and on Cubs Talk, but it was given an even larger dose of respectability when it appeared on Yahoo! Sports.
And, in a mammoth 4,000 word Cubs epoch, what’s the one thing people are getting hickey about? A Daryl Kile joke.
As a great man once said, “Lighten up, Francis.”
At least we didn’t give Daryl the “Niedermeyer! Dead! Marmalard! Dead! Wormer…” treatment.
Anyway, the biggest news in Chicago is that the 49ers are apparently interested in interviewing Greg Blache to be their head coach. Although, they have not yet contacted him.
You normally wouldn’t think the Niners would be dumb enough to hire a clown like Blache, but they were dumb enough to fire Steve Mariucci.
Greg Blache is the guy who thinks that fans think they know more than coaches because the fans play football video games.
I’ve got to tell you. The Madden 2003 Bears have more “money plays” than the acutal 2002 Bears did.
I don’t normally pay all that much attention to Friends, though I do watch it every week. But since we’re still two weeks away from Survivor Amazon we need something to fill our time.
1) Joey with the girly eyebrows was just about the scariest thing ever.
2) Nobody would get that fired up about seeing Courtney Cox’s nipples.
3) Rachel moved out on Ross because he’s in love with her and it makes things “weird” and she moved in with Joey, even though he’s in love with her, too?
This story line is so tired, it’s in the Cubs clubhouse napping next to The Farns.
On Sunday, the Illini travel to Michigan State for a nationally televised game on CBS. And you know what that means, don’t you? Billy Packer and Jim Nantz. Blecch.
But wait! According to this release on Fighting Illini.com it’s Dick Enberg and Special K, Clark Kellogg.
There is a God.
Steve Rosenbloom has uncovered an ex-Cat factor, that’s pretty impressive. Or depressing.
Rick Morrissey on how Bill Cartwright is handling the kids.
Score one for Brittle Bill, though. He was right to call out Marcus Fizer for the way he always complains about every foul call. Just watch a Trail Blazers game sometime to see how quickly the refs turn on a team that complains about everything.
Jerry Manuel says that getting Bart Colon ‘narrows the gap’ between the Sox and Twins. Bart’s wide, but he’s not that wide.
I use US Cellular. This just means the Sox will perpetually be on “Roam” I guess.
Will “Bad” Ohman is having more elbow surgery. This is bad.
John Jackson on Sunday’s debut of Arena Football. I love Arena Football.
Doug Padilla goes way out on a limb and says that this is a big year for Frank Thomas. Gee, ya think?
The Wizard of Roz says that Dick Pole says that Bart Colon is good.
Underwear supermodel Len Pasquarelli says that Matt Millen and Steve Mariucci have met about the Lions’ job. Next up is a conversation with Greg Blache so that Millen can meet all of the requirements of a coaching search in today’s NFL. He will have met with a caucasian in Mooch and in Blache, an African-American and a lunatic. Talk about your daily double.
Groucho Smith on the NBA’s too-little-too-late on court behavior crackdown.
Can we go one day without a freakin’ LeBron James story?
Stuey on Virginia’s Majestic Mapp. It’s a guy, not a thing.
Apparently the Olsen Twins are not going to the University of Dayton. College of DuPage is more likely.
EW follows the Olsen Twins to the DVD Awards.
E! with a list of the good stuff coming on for sweeps. I can’t wait for the Gary Coleman Star Date.
Lance Armstrong is trying to not let the threat of war get him down. Shut up, Lance.
A UCLA survey says that the Internet is more important to people than TV is. Well, of course we are.
The Onion with the story of a depressed guy who’s “hitting the GameCube pretty hard.”
Yeah, I saw that worthless tripe on Yahoo.
Is Dolan saying I don’t care about baseball? I do. I just can’t let a stupid game get in the way of a good night’s sleep.
I didn’t understand that thing about Darryl Kile, anyway. Did it happen in Chicago? I must have been napping.

We like to post things twice, too, Kyle.
We like to post things twice, too, Kyle.
Sometimes I like doing things three times, like serving hanging breaking balls to Jeff Bagwell, or four times like throwing pitches three feet outside to Royce Clayton.
Hey Mary-Kate and Ashley, did I just read that Jim Hendry signed both of you to four-year deals to bolster the bullpen? Or was that El Pulpo and Borowski?
You forgot to mention that Jimmy has been reprimanded again, this time for getting smoked during his Wed. night’s show. He talked about it briefly last night. Although I used to despise Snoop Dogg, I find him hilarious and entertaining now that he’s growing out of his gangsta phase. He should be the full-time co-host.
I regret to inform America that Jimmy Kimmel will not be allowed to hire Mr. Dogg as his full-time guest host. He refers to our network as A to the B to cizzle and we don’t know what it means.
Frankly, we’re afraid of him a little bit, too.
And that’s right, the only people allowed to be loaded during the Jimmy Kimmel show now are you the home viewers.
OK, I saw the article in The Onion. I too suffer from depression and anxiety syndrome, and I too have been spending way too much time playing Animal Crossing. But it’s relaxing, and pleasant, and I am planting orchards with the fruits from the other cities, and it’s gonna be beautiful when it grows, you’ll see.
