OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I fucking hate Jon Gay-Blow.

What have I ever done to you?


Oh, that Jon Gay-Blow.

Why does Lou continue to use this shitheel in close games?

Were two more walks today a bad thing?

How come the Cubs can't score a run with a guy on third and zero outs?

I'm way more angry about 1st and 3rd with no outs than Grabass.

How do you fuck that up? Aramis Ramirez is a real piece of shit.

I'll take the blame for the Castro strikeout after that ill-advised post about his K/BB ratio.

He looked feeble at the plate. Feeble. More feeble than the 74 year old pitcher he was facing.

So has Howry been signed? Or did they call somebody up from Iowa to replace Smilin'

They called up Stevens yesterday when Caridad was placed on the DL.

Howry not yet signed, remains imminent.

As much as the bullpen has sucked, the Cubs would/could be within a game of .500 if Dempster didn't give up home runs like he's Ted Lilly it's the NLDS/his job.

For pitching as "well" as he has, he's given up definitely a few deep balls at horrible time.
Those Cardinals aren't red, they're yellow.  Like the Spanish!

I can't stand Dempster, but this is just dumb. 
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

Pitching to Rollins with two outs and 1st base empty: Why?
Grooving one when it's 3-0? WHY?
Using Grabow again... FUCKING KILL ME.

I think Lou needs to go home now. He needs a LONG nap.

He should only give up home runs when the Cubs are winning by more runs than the amount of guys currently on base plus the batter.

Or only when they have time to catch up.
