There’s no WAY I would have put Sosa on this list, St. Pat. I was never a big fan of Sosa, but he’s one of the BEST Cubs of my lifetime, no matter how much I may dislike him.

BK – better closer than any Cub ever, except Fergie Jenkins. Way to finish the job.

I am looking forward (really! in a sick sort of way…) to the next two. However, if Sosa is 1 or 2, as some doucherocket suggested on the shoutbox, it would invalidate everything that has come before. Yes, he was an ass. Yes, he was a prima donna. Yes, he was also ‘roided out of his mind. At this point, I’ll accept his crimes and misdemeanors, because his win shares made me feel good (qualitatively) about the cubs during his time. The next two will make me hate remembering their rotting, fetid names. If it’s a choice between drug use and good times, I take the good times. JD’s deceased positive just told me that I’ll be happier if I do so. Always trust a desperate man trapped in the deep south.

Should have been #1. The fact that his walk off homeruns made me believe in him makes me sicker now, they didn’t buy him points. LaGascan would also be #2 on my list. Though who I believe will be your top 2 tomorrow are also very good selections.

Flem and St. Pat, you guys are so right, that I had to go back and finish that quote.

Flem is correct. The continued entry, as it should have been: “I’M NOT FINISHED! Before you leave, you will put your head between your legs, and kiss your own arse.” Bring the damned thunder, BK.

If the next two entries hurt as much as this one, I’m going to need 5 cases of beer and a 4 day weekend to get over it. Fuck that fucking fucker sideways with a fucking fire hydrant up his choking bitch ass. His whole life hurtled him along to that one play, and he cocked it up so bad he is Cub Buckner. That’s like FDR saying “the only thing to fear is…fuck, where are my notes? Son of a bitch, what was I saying? Oh yeah don’t be afraid and stuff – ASSHOLE! I told you to keep the fucking wheelchair off the camera!”

Also, fuck Alex because I was in the bleachers for that 6-5 game against the Cards, and it was one of the most joyous moments of my life. Pan-de-motherhumpin-monium. Strangers hugging in the streets and screaming from sheer jubilation. Now, it’s a tainted memory. That’s probably how divorced guys feel.

Though we did get Karros and Grudz for Hundley.

All we got for Neifi was the lead singer of the Black Crowes.

Just have to add that not ALL female fans are pink-hatted Trixies- I may think a player is the hottest guy ever but if he starts sucking on the field, get him off. And I’d never wear a pink hat. Those of us female fans who actually 1)know baseball and 2) don’t come to the game because we’re with a man who actually is the baseball fan or 3)go to the game to scope out ass find the Trixies an embarassment. Here’s to the real baseball-loving, blue-hat wearing, know-what-OBP-is woman!!

So…Neifi and Hundley–it all comes down to this.

What a tough choice.
I don’t envy you, BK.

Pretty much equally useless, equally loathsome.
