The saddest part of the “Where would the Cubs be without Derrek Lee” question, is when you think about where they are with him.
By the way, I loved Carlos’ smart assed answer to the question about how his arm felt. On Saturday he said it felt like there was “cement” in it. Yesterday he said it felt, “Like a feather.” I still don’t think he ought to pitch this weekend, though.
Dusty says he can’t help out Ozzie’s parking situation. Hey, it’s rough finding a spot big enough for an El Camino.
Andy MacPhail’s vote of confidence in Dusty had more qualifiers in it than the US Open.
Enrique Inglesias might be more useful.
Jon Scheyer is a disgrace to the state of Illinois! Ahh, not really. Good luck at Duke, kid. Maybe Jake will name a kid after you. After Duke names a building after you.
Back when I was a basketball star in high school I was going to pick Notre Dame over Illinois no matter what. So I can empathize. It would have been nice if either of them had ever recruited me, though.
I know a lot of our readers also hang out the IlliniBoard, too, and it made me laugh to see Rick Morrissey use a Bill Self toupee reference in this hackneyed column today. Every time I see a reference to “Morans” or “Bill Self’s Hairpiece” I get a little puffed up with pride. See, it doesn’t take much. I was the first to float the toupee rumor and a I stand by it. The back of hair is not real. It can’t be.
I don’t like the White Sox, but it disturbs me that Dusty seems to think he’s justified in risking Carlos to beat them. If you’re going to risk him, do it against the f@#$ing Cardinals.
When it comes to sucking at baseball, Enrique Wilson’s got lots of experience at it! See, this gets better all the time.
America’s finest news source with a North Dakota man who is pretty sure that God’s plan for him involves a kidnapping.
George “Oliver Stone” Ofman is hinting today that Enrique Wilson might not get to play because he said that Jeff Moorad is his agent. Because Moorad is with the Diamondbacks, Ofman is theorizing that this might somehow make Wilson ineligible. We’ll see.
Ineligible? Any idea how that works Dave? Did we lose a scholarship or something?
If anybody’s going to get into trouble, it’ll be Moorad for tampering. And it is tampering. Saddling a team with Enrique Wilson is a brilliant move for any opposing GM.
I’m just summing up what Ofman said. Kiley mentioned in his Sun-Times briefs that this representation might raise a few eyebrows around MLB.
On another note, Friday appears to be a cool day with the wind blowing in at Wrigley, which would make it an ideal day for Maddux to start and push Z back a day. Maddux would have four days of rest and it would give Z an extra day. Hopefully, Dusty consults Tom Skilling’s forecast like I did.
Right now, the Cubs team consists of DLee, DLee, DLee, and more of DLee. I just love how all these other dumbfucks on this team just sit around and watch Derrek do everything. These other wastes need to look in a mirror and see how worthless they are right now. That would start with Dumby Dusty himself for mentioning the fact he was going to sit Lee last night. With two off days this week, that really seemed logical to rest your only productive offensive speciman on this God aweful team. Dusty just continues to add to his stupidity pile.
Then you have Jim Hendry that needs to look into the mirror to see a washed up, drunkard, and senseless GM for signing Enrique Wilson. Jim, what were you drinking? Do we not have enough utility infielders hitting a career .240(that’s probably generous too.) Macias, Perez, Hairston Jr. and Wilson could all share the same uniform every game and we wouldn’t know it as fans. That’s because they all pretty much suck. This shortstop and second base situation is getting really old really fast. Cedeno starts to hit a hit and what do they do but send him down. Todd Walker is getting ready to come back and they sign Wilson. This whole situation really stinks.
Jim Hendry is showing signs of being dumber then Dusty. They could make a film in Chicago calling it “The Dumb Cub Manager and The Dumber Cub GM.”
FDAJF=Fuck Dusty And Jim Forever
Baker and Jim Basher
I’m conspicuosly absent throughout today’s dose.
If you make one, you fall into one of these two categories.
That’s enough with you jerkoffs ripping Jim Hendry. The man brought you Aramis Ramirez and Nomar Garciaparra for absolutely NOTHING and you have the nerve to shit on him for the Enrique Wilson deal or whatever other travesty he’s supposedly caused. The litany of available closers last offseason is now comfortably rearranged on the Disabled List and I’m sure that’s somehow Hendry’s fault too. If it was Hendry’s fault that Borowski and Fox got hurt and that LaTroy can’t find his ass with both hands in the 9th then it must somehow be true that Nomar’s injury, Walker’s injury, Wood’s injury, Zambrano’s freak jerking off injury were all his fault. Yes! Run him out of town!! The man who gave you back to back winning rosters for the first time in your miserable life!! Run him out!! Give us Kenny Williams!! We demand to see heads roll for this mess.
You are as inarticulate as you are stupid.
I think it’s pretty fun to make fun of Enrique Wilson. I’m not sure I could stop even if I wanted to.
Ease up on Mr. Hendry! After all, he brought ME to Chicago, and I’m everyone’s favorite Cub.
I used to be a real stat and Jose Macias had me today. So suck it.
