We’re just going to pretend that game three of the Bulls-Wizards series never happened. Look, you knew that at least once, and probably twice in this series the Bulls would completely unravel. But they’ll be back tonight. They’re nothing if not resilient. It’s why we love them.
Or something.
You can try to blame Michael Barrett for the 0-2 cookie that The Franchise threw to Lamb, but it’s Mark’s fault. Even Mark will tell you that.
Chris Speier certainly had a fine weekend. I was with him all the way when he sent Burnitz on Saturday, but Friday and yesterday? Not so much. But would it have killed E-ramis to have hit the catcher? Doesn’t anybody do that anymore?
Kerry says it only hurts when he pitches. It only hurts me when I watch.
The Rob Goldman trial is underway. If Comcast had any stones they’d do a nightly re-enactment like E! is with the Michael Jackson case. Luke Stuckmeyer could play Goldman, and then regardless of the verdict, we could give Stuckmeyer a lethal injection.
The Bulls, who couldn’t take two steps on Saturday without getting called for a foul are going to be more aggressive tonight. Good luck with that.
Groucho on the Wiz’s new confidence. Whatever.
Groucho thinks Doug Collins would be perfect coaching the Lakers. I think Doug should run as far away from Kobe as possible. The team he’d be perfect for is Cleveland…for about two years…then you bring in Phil and start winning rings. But Doug is a great coach, he’s also a grating coach and two years is about as long as you can put up with him. My job for Doug? Make him the permanent Olympic coach. He wouldn’t have made Dwyane Wade rot on the bench while Lamar Odom and Stephon Marbury got eaten alive by Argentina.
The Bears are bringing in lots of kickers you’ve never heard of. So far none of them are named Carlos Huerta or Jon Roveto.
Greg Couch says The Gladiator’s not feeling the love. He’s also not feeling the loathe like he would be in Chicago.
Mariotti puts down the doughnut to freak out over another MJ gambling story.
Ryan Dempster for closer? God no.
Peter Gammons on the new Orioles. Who’d he rip this off of? Peter Schmuck?
You have got to be f@#$ing kidding me. The Genius is bitching about Bobby Cox complaining to the umpires too much? Pot. Kettle. Black.
The Boston Globe catches up with the batboy who got busted with Manny Alexander’s steroids. He was TWENTY at the time. A TWENTY year old bat boy? Who did he think he was, Poppy Hidalgo?
Newsweek looks at the changing face of minor league baseball, and of course the guy who runs the Cardinals’ AAA affiliate is the one complaining.
America’s finest news source on a family feud that Family Feud didn’t end.
A couple of observations about the Cubs so far:
First, “Wavin'” Wendell has simply been replaced with “Come On” Chris. Terrible coaching at third all weekend.
Second, I stated early on that I don’t like Jerry Hairston as a ballplayer and nothing has changed my opinion. I don’t know what all the fuss is about him being a lead-off guy. He has a huge hole in his swing (every pitcher busts him inside) and he is no better than Walker defensively at 2B.
Lee has to hit third, and Corey needs to move to sixth or seventh. It’s that simple. When Walker gets back, he can hit second following Neifi.
Dusty is still a moran.
I should be playing every day. Until I do, this team has no chance.
Gee. I don’t get to bash Korey anyomore! Everyone beats me to it.
Are the pics working?

I heartily agree. Corey Patterson in my humble opinion and other than a few decent plays in the outfield has been a bust. Jason d should be playing all the time. Why didn’t Glendon get an automatic starting role based on how he pitched last year? No we have to give the starting spot to dumpster to justify his existance and prove how POWERFULL our farm system is-what a joke. I knew from watching the first two games this year that we were going to suck and suck we do.
From my steamin’ pile in yesterday’s Tribune:
“For the second year in a row, manager Tony La Russa has taken a seemingly vulnerable team and gotten it off to a flying start. ”
The Cardinals started out 13-13 in 2004.
Flying like a pig, I’d say.
So I guess that means the Cubs, too, also are off to a “flying” start.
I am King Of All Morans.
The series will be tied 2-2 after tonight, fellas.
STREETWISE!
I’m selling cars!

Let me try that again…
“Mercury Mountaineer. Always bring the good stuff!”
I rode the short bus all night last night. And, no, that wasn’t supposed to be a comedy I starred in on CBS, despite all the laughter from the viewers.
Kerry:
Don’t be a dumbass. You have a future in Buicks, Pontiacs and GMCs, not Ford products.
FORD- Fix or Repair Daily! Just like me.

Thanks to the good folks at Lincoln-Mercury, you can have lunch with me! Woo hoo! Buy some more cars!
Off-beat? Beat-off? I’m gay!
With a starter already on the shelf for an undetermined length of time and me on the way back shortly, why is Dempster going to the bullpen?
Do yourself a favor, go over to the Baseball Blog at http://www.wgntv.com/baseballblog and read the dumb assed responses. We’ve got to all go hang out with Walter Maley. The dude is insightful!
Too bad I’m not still with the Cubs…
“The one thing we’re convinced of is that throwing strikes is more important than throwing the hardest when it comes to the closer role,” Giants assistant GM Ned Colletti says.
Andy is funny this year, just not as funny as two years ago.
Cecil Gibson claims Ernie Banks stiffed his grandpa.
I’m tanned, I’m rested, I’m ready. Tell Preston Gomez to fuck off for me.
Keep an eye on the Best. Comment. Ever.
I wrote in as Ernie and said…
Bone done got stiffed…in 1966!
Let’s see if they publish that.
I am the king of the 315 foot homer and Adam Everett is my heir apparent. I also get more cheap hits than Carl Everett and Joe Crede combined.
Dinosaurs ain’t fucking real.
what do you think len and bob?
Wally, that’s an interesting question. I think dinosaurs can be an important part of any ballclub. I had a few when I managed the Diamondbacks to a World Series: Mark Grace, Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, Steve Finley, Matt Williams. They were old and slow, but Johnson and Schilling were pretty effective, while Grace was busy banging fat chicks and jockeying for my job. So fuck Grace. But the rest were OK by me.
we are the real reason this team is going down the drain.
thanks a lot for all the sell outs you’ll give us this year.
we think our “hybrid” team (50% triple A and 50% mlb) is exciting!
hope you enjoy your 76 win season.
hey buddies, miss me yet, buddies? i’m the reason buddies
this oriole team buddies is doing so good buddies i’m so happy buddies,
that i’m resenting the inference right now buddies
Hey Sammy, I know a place in Prince George’s County that sells really hot tacos. Just watch out for guys with folded up Nats hats in their pockets. The place sells pepsi too, mang.
I resent the inference that baby sheep’s grandslam was my fault. Did I throw the pitch? Look I know I don’t call a game as well as say, Chris Widger or Ass Jockey Pierzynski, but gimme a break.
Friday night’s win started the weekend with a bang. But of course, Kerry Wood decided to put a real quick end to that. Instead, Mrs. Wood had some more snatch cramps in his rubber arm and decided to pull the plug early on pitching again.
Did I not say Kerry Wood would be this year’s punching bag like Sammy was last year? But at least Sammy actually put up some real numbers in the past instead of this simulated or make believe crap that Wood develops in his own mind. I’d say the organization is on its last leg with what’s left of that 20 strikeout performance. Kerry Wood might as well start investing that free money he’s making this year and next because I don’t think their is a dumber organization then the Cubs that would sign him to a wealthy contract come 2007. FINISHED, FINISHED, FINISHED, FINISHED, FINISHED.
What is with Aramis here lately too? For once he actually plays 3 days straight and he acts like a complete lazy ass. His effort lately is at 30%. I know you just hit the lottery with that big booty sized contract, but give at least 70%. Aramis is probably the only guy in the league that would hit a ground rule double and insist that he stay at first base because his lazy ass doesn’t feel like running to second.
Last but not least is this situation with Dusty not playing Dubois instead of Mulletsworth. Wake up you fat bastard, the numbers don’t lie, Todd has had a month now to prove himself and Dubois as had a couple at bats. The numbers calculate better with Dubois no matter if it’s a lefty or a righty, he’s still hitting and will hit better then Todd. Mulletsworth is better off the bench anyway.
I’ve already had enough of this .500 team. With a manager that keeps saying his team is playing hard losing games, what more can we expect?
Baker Basher
Please stop in on my blog and comment a little, Basher.
…gets sucked dry when the asshole above me insists on fositing his irritating shit on each and evryone of us.
hey Baker Basher–what the fuck did we do to you that you must subject us to your tortuous ramblings?
I do agree with Baker Basher that since Aramis signed his big contract, he’s been a lazy fuck. That’s not good. Mang.
And ARam’s getting LARGER.
Seriously, the Cubs haven’t had such limited range at the hot corner since the one year Keith Moreland played there–1987. Since he did so well there last year, it’s fair to wonder why Ramirez all of a sudden feels a need to eat all the time.
Hey dudes, you come by and tell me I’m lazy to my face and I’ll make sure you got some groin pain, too. Know what I mean? My range is good as always, it’s just the peetchers this year, theeee other teams is hitting the ball at me faster. It’s their fault.
Thanks for the $$$ suckers. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!
Am I the dumbest show on television?
Almost.
what do you think len and bob?
Well, Wally, that’s a good question. I’d say that the dumbest show on TV isn’t really that easy to define. I mean different people like different kinds of shows.
Oh, who am I kidding, the dumbest show on TV is the f@#$ing Trifecta on ESPN.
Why do people watch me?
We’re down 18 in the 4th, it’s gunne be 2-2.
Home to Madison…
Hank White likes to eat me.
Haha, we played like sh!t for 40 minutes and then our scrubs got us to within 7. Now people will think we still have a chance in this series!
