I liked how Kitty had a blue hand print on the top of her head.

While watching the Sox game last night, I noticed that Bobby Jenks has chalk or resin or something smeared all over the back of his head and the blue hand print on Kitty's head was the first thing I thought of.  Which White Sox player has chalk all over their hands?

Buehrle.

Andy that's fanatstic, BTW.  How did you find that close up?

I like how Gob is an acronym for George Oscar Blum.

Not to be blasphemous, but "AD" seems to have as many, if not more, secondary jokes crammed in all over the place as "The Simpsons".

What about Tobias' gig at the restaurant/hand-job emporium?  Can't remember all of the lines from that scene, but I do recall there being some solid ones.  Little help?

The more I watch "Arrested Development" the more I think that Gob Bluth is the greatest character in television history.  Last night was friggin' hilarious when he ditched out on the kid once he realized that the kid was his.

Right, you're on.  I'll swap you.

Tonks--

Our pittance of a vacation policy vis-avis your existing 6 months off work, would probably give you pause.

And, I'd like to take this first opportunity of the day to say again that yes, Baker is a friggin moran.

How long do you suppose he'll be batting his hottest hiiter seventh?

That's funny, considering that :

A) I do have my own blog, although I admittedly seldom write anything on it and

B) The complaint comes from an angry, bitter, sociopathic geriatric who happens to be #3 on the "Topics Started" list.

Catch the irony, Gramps?

Was directed at Paul, not you Mike, when I saw him responding to his own posts repeatedly in this thread. Lighten up. And I'm not TOO old (44).

Oops.  My bad.  Sorry.

But your profile says you're 59.

And those latter round picks (i.e. Mike Brown Colvin etc.)  That's fine, but so long as you're queering the deal at the top, with your first rounders, you'll be in trouble.  It's like leading off your games with Corey Patterson and Neifi Perez before you get to Lee and Ramirez.

I think you've got to put Terrell in the total busts category.

His two clutch TD catches in that wild comeback win vs. the 49ers in his rookie year in 2001 is all that keeps him away from the "bust" pile.

Mike Green killed us a couple times in the first half...

And he's been benched.

Not bad.  It only took the Bears 5 seasons + 1 game to realize that the last player taken in the 2000 draft was drafted last for a reason.

What does it say about the current GM that the last pick in the 2000 draft is still on the team, and our 1st rounder from 2002 has been cut?

You want to know why the Bears suck?  Look no further than the first-round picks from the past 14 drafts (I exempted 2005.  God help us if Benson's a bust)

91  Stan Thomas
92  Alonzo Spellman
93  Curtis Conway
94   John Theory of Relatively Awful Wannstedt Picks
95   Raashaan Saalaam
96  Walt Harris
97  Traded away for Rick Mirer.  First pick in 2nd round was John Allred
98  Curtis Penis
99   Cade McNown
2000  Brian Urlacher
01  David Terrell
02  Mark Columbo
03  Rex Grossman/MichaelHaynes
04  Tommie Harris


Including Rick Mirer (but not John Allred), the list is 15 players.

In that group you've got six total busters:  Thomas, Thierry, Mirer, Enis, McNown, Columbo
In that group, you've got six disappointments: Spellman, Conway, Salaam, Terrel, Grossman, Haynes (One could argue that Haynes is a bust.  He'll be on that list in December if he does nothing this year)

That narrows it  down to three players:

Walt Harris-  Turned into a serviceable corner, whose best years were at the end of his Bears tenure, before he was sprung as a free agent.
Urlacher-- When not spending time in opponent's huddles lobbying for Pro Bowl votes, he's generally been quite good, although he still gets his ass beat too much to be mentioned in the pantheon of great Bear LB's just yet.  
Tommie Harris-- looks promising, but he also got his fat ass beat so badly by Washington last week, I'll reserve judgement until he plays a few games this year without walking off the field with cleat marks on his chest.

Just sick.  And you can't just blame Jerry Angelo.  Mark Hatley, Rod Graves, Bill Tobin and Mike Ditka all had a hand in this.  The one constant is McCaskey so blame his ass if you must, but we've simply been cursed by extremely poor personnel management since the early 90's.

Moment of silence for the Hickory Pit on the South Side, which is no longer, I believe.....

Mrs. Cubbiebluestew and I visit Chicago on occasion and she is partial to ribs.  I can give advice about where to go in the SF Bay Area, but what about Chicago?

I recommend...

Twin Anchors (Sedgewick, just north of North Ave. (1600))
Biasetti's on Irving Park Road near Ashland
Carson's Ribs (there's 1 downtown, and one in West Ridge (Peterson & Clark)
Russels Barbeque (they're in the 'burbs.  I'm familiar with one in Rolling Meadows on  Algonquin Rd)

Gah! What's worse? That or Karros, A-Gonz, Damian?

The Cubs managed to go seven games in the NLCS with that trio though.

Right but if Hendry had listened to Phil Rogers and Chuck and signed Thome, we'd have not only won the World Series, but the Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup Finals as well.

Over how many heads did this one sail?

GO YANKEES!

How about "Young Pujols"?

Emphasis on "Young"
