Johnny…get a freakin’ haircut
I know the photo has nothing to do with the story, but just look at Johnny Damon’s hair. How does he even get his hat on over that mess?
OK, so the Cubs are in St. Louis tonight for the first of a huge three game set down there in the Big Urinal Cake that people still call Busch Stadium.
I’ll bet you don’t know the story of how Busch Stadium got its name. So I’ll enlighten you.
This is true, by the way. Gussie Busch wanted to name the new park they had built to replace Sportsman’s Park, Budweiser Stadium, but the commissioner’s office told him that no park could be named after a product. Ironic, given the current glut of SBC, US Cellular, Massengill Park, etc. Busch argued that Wrigley Field was named after gum, but the commissioner declared that since Wrigley was the name of the family who owned the team, it was OK to name the park that.
Gussie wanted his ballpark to be free advertisement for his beer. So he just did it the other way down. He named the stadium after himself, then called his brewmaster and told him, “Guess what? We’re going to come out with a new brand of beer.” So instead of naming the stadium after his beer, he named his beer (Busch) after his stadium.
Then Haray Caray got run over by a taxi and Gussie had bigger stories to try and cover up.
The Cubs are…as everyone wants to remind us, six games out of first place. So if they get swept in St. Louis they’ll be nine games out. If they sweep the Evil Satanic Fowl they’ll be only three out.
The bad news for the Cubs is that they’ll miss the Cardinals worst two starters, Woody Williams and Matt Morris, but instead they’ll contend with the overrated triumvirate of Jason Marquis, Jeff Suppan and Karen Carpenter. Carpenter’s a good pitcher, and will be until his arm falls off again (ETA sometime in mid-August), but if the Cardinals really think they’re going to keep up a .619 winning percentage with that quintet…well, they deserve to live in Missouri.
Because it’s a weekend full of Cubs-Cardinals we have to brace ourselves for the barrage of inane chatter we’re going to get all weekend. Tonight’s game is on WGN with Chip and Steve. So these topics will be covered:
– Top of the first: Steve’s first reference to the visibility at the Big Urinal Cake
– Top of the second: Chip can’t restrain himself any longer and he touts Albie Pujols for a Gold Glove
– Top of the fourth: First reference to vaunted Cardinals bullpen
– Bottom of the fourth: Steve says Scott Rolen is an MVP shoe-in because Steve expects him to hit .425 with runners in scoring position all year
– Top of the fifth: Rolen’s sore left knee bends the wrong way and Andy laughs at home and sucks down another Big Urinal Cake beer.
– Bottom of the fifth: Chip talks about how great Jim Edmonds is, while thousands of Cubs fans begin to projectile vomit all over their living rooms
– Top of the sixth: Burger King makes an appearance and Steve makes a funny joke about how Ray’s listed as weighing 242 pounds. 342 is more like it.
– Bottom of the seventh: The Cardinals load the bases and The Genius pinch hits Woody Williams for Ray Lankford because if it works he’ll be lauded a genius!
– Top of the ninth: Jason Isringhausen comes in to blow a save and Chip refuses to tell the story about how Izzy once stabbed himself with a knife when he was with the Mets. I’ll bet Ron would like that story.
– Bottom of the ninth: Chip and Steve try to not sound disappointed about the Cubs win.
On Saturday, it’s Fox and the “number one” crew of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. During the course of the game, you can expect the following things from each:
Buck: At least six Steve Bartman references (those never get old), one long oratory about Sammy Sosa’s corked bat and Monday night’s home run contest, an unfunny joke where Joe laughs and tries to not seem smug (can’t pull it off), a middle innings shot of the booth when a gust of wind moves all nine hairs still left on Joe’s head.
McCarver: At some point he’ll tell us that a player is hitting 30 for his last 100, or .300. During that same middle innings shot of the booth, a sweaty McCarver will have orange hair paint running down his face. He’ll go into a long story about how the bullpens got their names (it’ll be wrong, but long) and at least four times he’ll refer to Moises Alou as Felipe.
Sunday night is the Anti-Christ and Jon Miller on ESPN.
The Anti-Christ will feel the need to remind us that he doesn’t think Ryne Sandberg is a Hall of Famer, he’ll tell at least two stories about playing in either Wrigley or Busch, he’ll forget which team is winning at least three times and give us a list of four guys he thinks deserved to make the All-Star team this year, two of whom will not only be no longer active Major Leaguers…but dead.
Miller will do both a Harry Caray impersonation and a Jack Buck one, and you’ll cringe at both.
I’m not going to name names, because I don’t want to get accused of plagiarizing him (snicker, snicker) but I’ve read an account where one Cubs fan thinks the Cubs should just pretend they’re nine games out and that every game in this series counts as two games. It’s original. You have to like it when somebody thinks out of the box. Even if you want to stone to death anybody who uses “out of the box” in 2004 and thinks it’s appropriate.
How about this? How about the Cubs “pretend” they’re six games out and leading the Wild Card race? How about they “pretend” that only one team in the National League has more wins than they do and only four teams in all of baseball do? How about they just “pretend” that people who put way too much importance into things like “baseball body language” and three games in early July in Milwaukee are just complete dumbasses who really need a second hobby?
To me, the whole nine games out thing is just about as effective as people who intentionally set their bedroom alarm clocks ahead by 15 minutes so they won’t be late in the morning. If you are dumb enough to forget, every day, that your clock is 15 minutes ahead, I’m sure that’ll work. But I would think that you’d probably, eventually look at the clock and say to yourself, “It says 6:45, so it’s only 6:30…and hit snooze.”
Normally, being a Cubs player or fan in July means you want to pretend the team isn’t 15 games out of any playoff spot. How about we all wander around in reality for a while. It’s kind of nice here.

Thanks to all of you who have made a contribution to Desipio in the past two days. I hope you are enjoying your prize of “Dubious Value” that you get with any sized donation. I’ll run the PayPal link a couple of more times. It seems to be working, though a couple of you e-mailed me yesterday to say you had a problem with it. And like always, there will be an unexplained few lines of blank space between the end of this sentence and the actual link.

I really think my favorite story of this NBA offseason is the Carlos Boozer thing with the Cavs and Jazz. In a nutshell, here’s what happened. Carlos’ contract had a team option for just under $700K for the upcoming season. His agent contacted the Cavs about working out a long term deal to replace it. The team and Carlos agreed that they would not exercise his option for next year so that they could sign him to a five year $38 million deal, which is the most they can offer him right now, given their current cap situation. On that promise, General Manager Jim Paxson and owner Gordon Gund allowed Carlos’ contract to expire. Then yesterday, Carlos signed a new contract…for six years and $68 million…with Utah!
The ironic thing…Gordon Gund never saw it coming.
Normally, I’d say I don’t blame a player for taking the extra thirty million bucks. But the only reason that Carlos was free to take it was because Cleveland let him out of his contract with a promise that they were going to give him a 37 million dollar raise. So instead he stiffs them for a $67 million raise. Here’s my question. What are you going to buy with $67 million that you can’t buy with $37? Yes, I’d like to find out.

Is it law that when the Cardinals and Cubs play that Jason Marquis and Greg Maddux have to pitch against each other? Considering Maddux is 2-0 against Marquis in St. Louis, I suppose it’s not a bad thing.

Dusty would like the wins to start piling up…but he’s patient.
This Olympic basketball team is going to lose, aren’t they?
Da Senator? Is this what it’s come to?
Jamal Crawford’s main usefulness now is going to be that he’s going to leave and take at least one bad contract with him. Hey…great?
McNeil and Mariotti were sent to their rooms without supper…and listeners. Who cares?
Mariotti puts down the doughnut to write the third of a scheduled nine (it’s a record) panic columns about the Cubs. They have the second most wins in the NL, Jay. Get a grip.
Carlos, did you learn this kind of loyalty at Duke? And would you really want to leave LeBron?
The Big Unit wants to play for the Yankees. Guh.
The Newark Star Ledger says the Cubs are after him, too. Sure. Whatever. We’ve got Glendon Rusch! We’re set!
The Red Sox aren’t giving up on The Unit, either. I believer our intrepid reader from Arizona who says that Schilling and Johnson seem to get along, but I’ve read and heard a lot about what an annoying douche Schilling is, and I think he might be more of a hindrance than a help. We all have friends who we’re glad we don’t work with. I’ll bet Curt is one.
Why does anybody care what athletes think about anything? Really. If you want their world view,

Just wanted to check in & give everyone an update on my status.
Recently, I’ve been pitching with the Arizona Cubs, and let me tell ya, these 16, 17, & 18 year old latin hitters are beasts!
Even though my ERA is a nice, even 12.00, it’s very deceiving. The fact is, I have yet to throw a wild pitch here in Mesa.
While the big club continues to fight for a wild card berth, I’ve been treating my new buds to Hungry Howie’s pizza once a week, as we strive to make the AZL playoffs.
Best wishes to you Chicago folk, and I hope to see you when rosters expand in September!
BTW: Jae-Kuk sends his best, as well! He smashed a lizard with a bat the other day, but no one saw him. One of those damn Dominicans ate it, though.
You bet my fat a-s-s that I’m a Paul Konerko fan!
Dearest Andy:
You’ve got to stop getting so cozyr with the plagarism guy. If you don’t we’re gonna publish those pictures we have of the two of you with your arms (and other things) all over each other.
Best regards,

Does it matter if Randy Johnson wants to go to the Yankees? Doesn’t Jerry Colangelo absolutely detest George Steinbrenner (due in part to the David Wells fiasco 2 years ago)? I think the D-Backs are going to look at every other offer before even considering a trade with the Yankees.
Sure, Pratt doesn’t have a wild pitch, but I’ve been charged with nine passed balls on pitches that I couldn’t get in the same area code with.
Why don’t dee Cubs juss twade Moises Alou for Big Unit?
So, I’m "thinking outside the box"? Hey, Dolan! How did you know of my consulting background?
Thinking outside the box is what I do best when I’m determining the best value proposition with in the proper time frame to create a strategic fit. After all, I am a results driven, client focused businessman that benchmarks new paradigms and fast-tracks empowerment solutions within a knowledge base on the critical path to success.
Let’s touch base in a few days!
Not to besmirch the advertisers, but click on the Cubs ticket ad and report back as to whether or not you’d pay the prices they’re asking.
I’d pay $400 for front-row Cubs-Expos tickets so I can watch Levian Hernandez eat his 5th sandwich in the 2nd inning, on the way to a 156-pitch, 21 K outing against the Cubs.
It’s supply and demand. Stub Hub and the Cubs own ticket broker and the rest of them, charge pretty much the same. Besides, the closer you get to the event, typically they start to drop. It’s our lot in life, we like a popular team and they have a tiny ballpark. It also doesn’t help that corporations buy all the good tickets in big blocks.
So what the hell is the deal? Is I is, or is I ain’t Jewish?
I am! Can you imagine me & Adam Greenberg in the same minor league outfield?
Don’t forget me! I’m the first Jew in the 30/30 club.
Don’t overlook me either. I’m the first Jew to ever be a broadcast personality!
A Jewish entertainer? I always thought Krusty was the only one!
D’oh!
I’m the only Jew to be obnoxious on the air.
And please look at my self-important wedding pictures so that you can follow along as I continue to spout ad nauseum about the social event of the year.
How many times do I have to tell you…
The only reason I got married was to name-drop about the celebrities in attendance.
Aren’t you all jealous of the picture with me, Stoney, McDonough, & Blunk? I’m practicaly a Cub, and the rest of you aren’t!!!!
Hey, Dave! Don’t forget us!

He’s going bald, so he has to overcompensate by growing me.
I’m sure he also overcompensates by highlighting his pubes.
If a bunch of faceless people make Jewish jokes in cyberspace, does Jerry Seinfeld get insulted?
Not as a Jewish person, but as a comedian?
Gee what the hell. I go away for lunch and all of a sudden this place turns into a Friars Club Roast.
Those pictures of Kaplan’s wedding only confirm how eerily creepy that guy is.
However, in spite of his creep factor, and his sometimes annoying fanboy attitude, him and Waddle actually have the best sports show on the radio in Chicago. Granted, that says more about the toxic level of sports talk on Chicago than anything else, but I can actually listen to them for an hour without wanting to slit my wrists. I can’t think of a simgle show on the SCORE where I can make the same statement.
Was I at that wedding?
How come I’m not in any of those pictures? Was I not invited to the wedding?
Mike D,
Glad you enjoy listening to me talk about my golf game, my workout regimen, my dinner plans, and my B-celebrity schmoozing.
Keep listening for details on how to own the David Kaplan Celebrity Wedding Ceremony DVD, including a special guest appearance by mindy kaplan.
Point taken, Kap. But at least you’re good for one thing–your cloying kiss-ass attitude at least allows you to get A-list guests on your show, rather than taking an hour of calls from "Jerry from Berwyn".
Mike D, I agree. As I wrote here recently, the Kap/Waddle show is the most listenable show as far as sports talk. Rosenbloom is fine on Saturday mornings, but I don’t know how he keeps from killing that idiot Dave "Show-wrecker" Baum.
And lay off Andrea Darlas. She seems like a pretty cool chick.
Shalom. I’m not even here, and the Daily Dose has degenerated into Krystallnacht.
I’ve always struggled with the fact that my personal Savior is Jewish, but to Jewish folks, he’s just another slacker who never went to med school.
Oh, BTW: I’m sorry, Mr. Dolan. But if we don’t win 2 of 3 this weekend, I’m going to find something else to pin my hopes on this year.
Like the Senate hopes of Da Coaccccchhh!
Should we be offended that the entire topic of the board goes towards Semetic jokes after mention of rising prices?
Ok, what’s next? Jokes like: Why did Moses and the Israelites wanded in the desert for forty years?
Someone dropped a quarter.
Da Coach–who’s been registered to vote for nearly a decade.
Dave B., I’m not picking on Andrea. I think she’s hot. In fact, I was expressing disappointment that there WEREN’T pictures of her.
Well, Sloth, I was disappointed in Jesus, too.
"My son the doctor," has a nice ring. As does, "My son the lawyer."
But, "My son the leper lover who feeds the homeless from a single loaf of bread," is not-so-hot.
I wasn’t accusing you Mike D. I thought it might be an anonymous poster. Maybe Andrea could make a guest appearance on Desipio soon.
Good news, fellas: my girl is friends with Andrea Darlas from back in her WGN days, and Ms. Darlas is currently single.
She does, however, work a lot of weekends.
Free Dan McNeil!
…okay, maybe not.
btw, if you click my name, you can read a really dumb Rick Morrissey column in which he shows his wonderful command of facts by claiming that Willie Harris was in the Sox lineup on Wednesday night.
You’ll also learn that in addition to the well-known fact that going to the Cell guarantees that you’ll get into a fight with Jay Mariotti and/or a cop and his wife, playing second base for the Sox means you may get beaned by fans throwing the other team’s home run balls back at you. Oh the perils!
I thought going to Sox games guarantees that you’ll get into a fight with Tom Gamboa or Laz Diaz.
Due to varied tastes and changing supply, the White Sox cannot promise SPECIFIC persons with whom you shall fight with. They simply promise that you will get into a fight.
Written guarantee available upon request. Because, you know, the Jews made us put that in. ;)
Please stop calling me the Cell. My real nickname is the Joan. See? We’re both ugly and we both have/had shows in Chicago that nobody watched.

Hey, I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I played NAIA football, I was personnel director of a minor league basketball team, and I’m friends with some NBA coach.
Also, I played golf with Randy Walker last week.
If this has truly turned into The Friar’s Club, please remember that the Carcass Formerly Known as Rich Little does not like blue material.
It’s like looking in a mirror, Joan Baby.
What trailer park did I escape from?
Phee-yuck you, Krappy. I make more money than you and eat at Gibson’s for free all the time, and get drunk on Rush Street. Meanwhile, my wife stays home and humps the dog (hence the name Lick-her-ass).
And as to name dropping, you got nuttin’ on me. Ain’tcha seen me hangin’ with Billy CSI Peterson? It’s been about 18 seconds since I mentioned him.
Watch my website for the upcoming photo gallery from my 4th divorce.
You have the announcers almost spot on Andy, but you forgot one thing that McCarver almost certainly will say on Saturday…
He will refer to at least one breaking pitch as "tightly-wrapped". He did this all through last year’s postseason, and it was truly annoying. Let’s hope he has forgotten that.
Thanks Kaplan, you eff-ing a55hole.
I spend five hours roasting a kosher hog for your sham of a wedding, and you can’t even put my picture in your album?
By the way, while you were rubbing shoulders with Stone & McDonough, your wife of 35 minutes was rubbing shoulders with my dong.
Yeah, well screw all of you. I was hosting a show on Sporting News Radio at 4AM EST today!
That’s national syndication for Baseball City, baby!!!!!!!
Man, a Desipio day featuring both Jenna Bush and Joan Cusack? The cheesecake, it has fallen.
For the record, I agree with Sloth’s thoughts about the race in post #29. If the Cubs don’t find some way, some how, to get two wins in this series the division race looks REALLY bleak…
That’s right Matthew, you’re learning from the best in the business at Sporting News Radio, which can be heard here in Chicago from 8am to 3pm on every other weekend, unless there is a thunderstorm or a holy day of obligation.
Well, if you took the love child of Jena and Joan, you’d have this:
Kwitcherbitchen BC!!!
If you click on the Kaplan link you get me & the trailer park parolee both in the same photo!
The race ain’t so bad if this trade goes down. The Cardinals get the only "Number 1" starter having a more disappointing year than Morris in Millwood and get a mediocre 2B for arguably their best reliever. And the rumor is that Jocketty approached Philly on the trade
That little signature in the lower right hand corner of Martina’s portrait reminds me of my signature on the photos I took in Kaplan’s wedding album.
Where are you Dave Ennitt?
We’re also heard o’nite on The Score.
Jessie Rogers was in for Matt Speigel last week.
That’s funny…Judging by that picture of me with Kaplan, I guess I only SOUND 75 years old.
Weather forecast for St. Louis:
40 percent chance of rain tonight.
30 percent chance tomorrow.
Just so you know, you might get some rain delay fun from Chip and Steve or from Joe and Tim.
Yeah, lord knows if it rains Fox won’t go to one of the other games that it’s showing regionally, dope.
It’s called a "rain delay" because the rain has delayed the game.
But, in case of rain, we’ll just send you to one of the other FOX games.
I hope I don’t get rained on in St. Louis.
If I get rained on I might catch a cold.
If I catch a cold, I might sneeze.
If I sneeze, I might hurt my back and end up on the disabled list again.
Err… After last Saturday’s FOX debacle you would think I would have remembered FOX sending the Cubs/White Sox viewers to Shea Stadium 24 times. So, I guess we won’t get Tim and Joe during a rain delay, which is actually probably going to save us a good piece of our sanity.
Every time BC posts, I weep for Illinois alumni everywhere as the value of their degrees is further degraded.
40% chance of rain tonight? Just gotta get the lead and hold it through the bottom of the 5th, then pray for rain.
Andy I hope to god you aren’t drinking Busch.
The Shooter and the Weez love to go through a 30-pack of Busch each night. Head for the mountains, oh yeah!
I’ve been drinking plenty of Coors.
Am I playing tonight?
Am I playing tonight?
I AM!
…I’m an assclown…
#1- Maddux must not get into jams in the early innnings and give them the lead.
#2- Ramirez needs to start and we need Rey to sit on the bench all night long until his release after the All-Star break. We need Ramirez to jump start our hitting and get some runs produced.
#3- Barrett needs to start all 3 of these games. He has the All-Star break to rest. You can take a bet to Vegas though, that dumbass Gabor will be in the lineup tonight. He will go hitless.
#4- The most important thing, Baker doesn’t need to make this thing into a managerial contest between Larussa. Let the players play. That means, if a bullpen pitcher is getting people out, you leave him in there. That means not pitch hitting Goodwin and Macias. Let’s be smart Dusty. Let the players decide these games. The good players at that too.
If these 4 or at least 3(since Gabor will start tonight) get taken care of, we will prevail tonight. But if Greggie throws BP and Dusty gets off to his tangent, it could be grounds for a sweep. We need this one tonight. Then we worry about taking two more and sweeping the Red Satanic Fowl.
GO CUBS!
If we score more runs than they do, we’ve got a pretty good chance.

…woof.
God help us.
Grudz, Walker, Ordonez AND Bako?!?
Full House.
Who knows? Maybe it’ll be like the third game in L.A., another time that the Cubs were playing like scat (the Houston/Pittsburgh memorial debacle being the other besides this one). That lineup had Goodwin, Macias, Martinez and Bako. They scored 6 in the second and coasted. Who knew?
Oops, I meant Grudz/Martinez, Ordonez and Bako.
Time to start drinking.
I’m definate!!
Anyone know why I’m not playing? Is Dusty giving me the whole weekend off?
E-Ramis, your groin still hurts. Also, at 7:02 pm CST, during the Lead-Off Man, Chip Caray made his first mention of Albert Pujols winning a gold glove at first base this year.
I also mentioned the visibility at Busch already.
Let the record show that I couldn’t even make it out of the pregame show before mentioning that Pujols might eventually win a Gold Glove at first base someday.
Did I just say that Poo-holes is able to handle the pillow?
Am I a member of the 30-Pitch 1st Inning Club yet?
Screw this all to hell. Nice to see Dusty light a fire under his boys. Nice to see that it’s still "early" even though we’re six outs away from -7.
This is a team with no guts, no backbone, no heart, and no brains. Give it another three weeks and the wildcard can be put to rest too.
And those dumb mutherph00kers koksukking Stone & The Grandson just keep laughing it up.
You idiots will have plenty of time for your giggles & reach-arounds come October 4. Asswipes.
And by the way, nice to see Bako’s quality AB’s, lousy throws on SB attempts, and ridiculous attempts to pick Molina off 2B during the Marquis AB. If you don’t want to win, Dusty boy, we’re getting the message loud & clear.
The division was decided June 22nd, when the Cubs couldn’t hold a four-run lead to get the division tied. Since, the Cardinals have gained seven games in just 17 days, and that includes them being swept by the Pirates.
In the end, you are seeing a team right now with no energy, no passion, and no will to win. You are seeing a team who is looking for a reason to quit. And you are seeing a team whose leadership (Dusty Baker and Jim Hendry) is not doing anything to resolve this team to get back to winning baseball.
This game is the epitome of the difference between the successful teams and the teams like the Cubs. There is no way, no how, a team like the Yankees or the Red Sox or the Cardinals would have a starting lineup that includes Rey Ordonez, Paul Bako, and Ramon Martinez. They would either make a move to get one or two replacements for these guys, or they would let the young guys come up and compete for the spots. But the Cubs seem willing to put this sort of club out there when, even in such a tough situation, other teams would do better.
Hey, thanks for mentioning me in the Daily Dose! BTW, Schilling was GREAT here…Course, Randy’s going to, according to various reports, go to the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, or Angels. I haven’t heard the Montreal Expos or Nippon Ham Fighters come up in Randy Johnson trade talk yet, but I’m waiting…
Interesting to see John Smoltz run afoul of the PC Police…As I recall, he was one of the Braves players who was really outraged by John Rocker’s bad Howard Stern impression in Sports Illustrated a few years back. Actually, I now think that John Rocker, as much of a crazy Jerry Springer freak as he was, was a man ahead of his time, considering the stuff Mark Grace gets away with out here.
Speaking of Gracie, much as I love Dubya, I have to admit his daughter is the "First Slumpbuster"….
Oh, and to everyone else on this board, lay off the Jews! They have been horribly oppressed for 2,000 years, and they’ve still contributed so much to the world. If you want to make fun of someone, make fun of the Palestinians, an extremely wonderful people, invented out of thin air by hurt Arab pride 35 years ago, whose greatest contribution to the world is suicide bombings.
Though I respect B.C.’s opinion, I don’t believe that the division has been decided yet.
I still have faith that Marquis, Suppan, and Carpenter will fade, just like they have in the past.
Kid K is coming back, A-Gon will be coming back, Aramis will be back in a few days, and then we’ll be in a little better shape.
Keep the faith, fellas. It’s not over yet.
I know most of you don’t like Drudge, but he has a story tonight about a documentary supposedly showing Fox News Channel’s conservative bias. Fox News has made sure that if either MSNBC or CNN try to make a play on Fox based on this documentary’s accusations they will fight back.

Um, is my groin broken, too, or something?
A pre-August/September white-flag waving is getting to be too much of a typical thing around these parts. That’d be nice to have a contingency of fans not prone to the fucking bandwagoner mentality.
Besides it being fucking ignorant and sickening, its hardly logical to be doing all this pants pissing in July for fucks sake!
Dusty Baker smokes PCP if he thought that lineup was going to win.
I am hoping that if I play bad enough, I will get named to the All Star team too!
OK guys, thats 4 in a row. We keep losing and we are first in line to draft LeBron James and save the franchise!!
Everything will be okay in the 2nd half, guys! I’m counting on Derrek Lee hitting 30 home runs, Mo coming back to "get his second wind", Alex Gonzalez proving himself and his value for free agency, and Corey Patterson having "a monster second half". I am quoted making all of these assertions and more in the Suntimes. So why not trot out a forfeit lineup for this series? You gotta trusty me!
Oh yeah, that’s big news that we’re part and parcel of the Republican Party….
Just for BC….
Just making sure Desipio ain’t dead!
Good news! I had multiple hits today. I already talked to Dusty and he says he can get this ARam injury thing extended for another week. Can’t wait to own Ben Sheets on Thursday!
Please trade one of us. Preferably Grud, since Walker’s a lefty and a more patient and consistent hitter. But get something for one of them since neither is going to get into a groove at all by playing either 2 out 3 games if you’re Grud or 1 out of 3 games if you’re Walker, as Dusty has been playing them.
