This offseason the Cubbies have spent Millions & Millions of Dollars on Free Agents. Including this years Manager of the Year....Lou Pinella!
With this guy and a bottomless payroll, there is no way the beloved Cubs will "manage" to finish behind St. Louis, Houston, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee. They will be kings of the National League Central. And if they do "manage" to miss the playoffs we always have this to look forward to.
One of the best parts of this season will be the Countdown to Pinella losing it. And I know know you think you've seen Lou lose it before, but this is the Cubs!! It's like buying 215 pounds of dynamite and storing it in the same cramped closet as your nitroglycerin collection. He is not just going to lose it, he going to REALLY GO BATSH*T INSANE!!!! So crazy that he will never be the same again. He'll blow a gasket and start wearing a diaper over his uniform. When he speaks, he'll only be able to recite lines from the Jetsons. I figure it will happen in April, during the Cubs road trip to St. Louis....April 29 would be my guess.
All I have to say is:
ReplyDeleteWait til next year.
As long as Tribune is at the helm, this organization is doomed to fail.
I'll still root for them though.
I need something to keep me busy until Jerry Angelo drafts a QB in the 5th round of the draft who makes Tom Brady look like Rex Grossman and the beloved slaughter said Patriots in Super Bowl Fo'ty Duece.
Hmmm ... I'm thinking Pinella tosses third base after an ump tosses him our for arguing balls and strikes during the second Cardinals visit to Wrigley.
ReplyDeleteAt least, that's what I think these tea leaves are trying to tell me.
They could also be saying to bunt.
I fail to see how the Tribune Company was responsible for Bartman being in the stands in 2003. It makes more sense saying as long as Bernie Mac is allowed to sing during the 7th inning stretch they are doomed to fail. The $250 Million in Free Agents was all paid for by Tribune tender. They are trying to turn this thing around fast.
ReplyDeleteI wish Dan would stop staring at me.
ReplyDeleteHow's that?
ReplyDeleteSlight improvement.
ReplyDeleteWhen will the senseless violence of men like General Anacock ever end!?!
ReplyDeleteMr. BBBB's has been dealt with due to his comments. Anyone else care to defy me?!!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI defy you to stop the express train that is the 2007 Cubs. Their record will be 107-55.
ReplyDeleteWhile the thought of the Cubs winning it all makes me feel happier than a drunk Sox fan at a flea market, I just don't feel it this year. Unfortunately Dick Daley is a South Sider, and only he can influence the Ump!
ReplyDeleteCan't YOU wield your power to influence the Ump?
