The only thing that makes sense about keeping Pena is that if he walks at the end of the year the Cubs get a pretty high compensation pick for losing him.

Not necessarily. Pena was so bad in 2010 that he's on the border of earning the Cubs a pick.  At best, he'd be a Type B free agent, which would get the Cubs a sandwich pick, not a first-rounder.

Well in that case you can move me to the "What The Fuck Are They Thinking" category.

I would like to say this in all sincerity:

Fuck Jack McKeon.  Fuck him in his 85 year old chainsmoking ass with Bud Seligs dick.

Andre Dawson paid his $1,000 fine for the Joe West incident with style. Dawson wrote ``Donation for the blind`` in the memo section of his personal check.

It's not McKeon's fault that the Cubs are a joke.

Yeah, but he's still an asshole.  Plus PenFoe likes him.

When you get right down to it, it is pretty funny, although cruel.

Still not as funny as the Phillies pranking one of their guys and making him think he was traded to a Japanese league team for a guy named Kobiyashi a few years ago.

But, yeah, fuck Jack McKeon.

Nah.

Fuck Dennis Eckersley and Scott Sanderson. Fuck them. Fuck Lee Smith. Fuck Rick Sutcliffe and Jim Frey and Leon Durham and the Padres groundskeepers. Fuck Alex Gonzalez, Moises Alou, Gabor Fucking Bako, Mark Prior (Still MLB free for five years!), Dave Veres, Kyle Farnsworth, Sammy Sosa, Troy "Mrs." O'Leary, Jim Hendry, Andy MacPhail, Juan Pierre, Dusty Baker, Carlos Zambrano, and Crane Kenney, anyone ever named Ricketts, Jim Hendry, Mike Quade, and Marlon Byrd. Fuck all those that have made this fucking shithole of a piece of crap team a source of amusement for an 80-year-old man managing a team that's a bit of a joke itself, except a joke that has won two World Championships largely at the expense of the Cleveland Indians and the fucking joke that I for unknown reasons root for.

Hear that Tom Ricketts? Joe Ricketts? Pete Ricketts? Laura Ricketts? Mark Dawson (or is it Todd)? They're not laughing with you. They're all laughing at you.

I guess my point was that old man McKeon got one of his shiny rings in large part due to the general fuckitude of those persons bolded above, and that, since their fuckery led him to personal good forturne, he should find another target to joke at, or else he deserves to be fornicated.
