“I dig a pigmy, by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids! Phase One, in which Doris Gets Her Oats!” (Beatles Let It Be album reference)

I got the “Special Edition” DVD of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (aka “M�nti Pyth�n ik den H�li Gr�ilen”) which included the original beginning of the film — the title sequence of the B/W British film Dentist on the Job guest starring — Charles Hawtrey! Evidently, he was a British film star…. (cf: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001889/bio)

OK, enough obscure non-Cubs trivia.

The biggest crock in the article:
“And that’s just when he was passing through Rush Street, without actually living in Chicago and enjoying the nightlife. ”

I think Edmonds stayed a little closer to Wrigley Field – like up and down Halsted in Boys Town.

Agreed. I don’t really think it matters as I don’t believe Edmonds will be around long enough to make a difference one way or the other. Now if we still had Dusty Baker, I’d really be worried. Even if Edmonds sucked it up, Dusty would’ve run his tired old bones out there every day. Uncle Lou will stick with him for a bit and if he doesn’t produce, I have no doubt he’ll be gone. Until then, I’m gonna continue to rag on the guy. He’s one of the biggest tools in baseball, no matter what team he plays for. If you’re not having fun, you’ve really come to the wrong website.

Bernie Miklasz, Douchebag-in-Residence for the St. Louis Post Dispatch, quoted this post in yesterday’s paper. Actually, he quoted his “pal, Will Leitch, a passionate but reasonable lifelong Cardinals fan.” I’d like to second Buzz Bissinger’s opinion that Leitch is full of bullshit.

And did anyone see those complete colostomy bags out in center with Edmonds painted on their chests? Oh my god.

And the thing I miss most about Gracie was picking up the shrapnel. He couldn’t fall on every grenade. He always left some chunkers for the rest of us.

“It�s not like the Cubs were ever going to sign that guy who beat the shit out of me in fourth grade, and then wouldn�t fight me when I got big enough to kick his ass. They certainly wouldn�t sign that bitch who cheated on me while I was out of town for a measly half day. Age itself would have made it impossible for them to sign my third-grade teacher, whose love of sentence diagramming made my life a living hell.”

All Hail Bad Kermit — The King of long sentences with multiple modifiers and long, drawn-out, delayed gratification payoffs that never fail to absolutely kill.

BK, please do not tire of this writing thing you do. My life has more meaning because of it.
