Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Completely Useless By September” Edition
It’s time for HJE to combat this losing streak and our alleged “slide” with an anti-jinx. We’re calling down the thunder and tempting the fates. Bring it, stupid fates. Forget the doomsayers. Focus on the Roundup:
- I hope everyone had a nice good freakout over Zambrano, especially now that it looks like it was probably a total waste of your time.
- I THOUGHT STUFF LIKE THIS ONLY HAPPENED TO THE CUBS!
- Suck it, fatty.
- Speaking of which, remember in 2003 when Shawn Estes had that shockingly good start which was a huge lift for the Cubs? It’s not quite the same, but last night was pretty awesome.
- What in the hell is this?
- Or this?
- The 1908 Cubs had a pretty awesome September.
- The world is finally realizing what Cubs fans have known for a while.
- Thank goodness the Orioles are retarded.
- Both Pat Hughes and Ron Santo are up for the Ford C. Frick Award. If Santo loses by a couple of votes, I’m going to yell, “Oh, GEEEEEEEEEZ!”
- Koyie Hill has a mutant hand that awakes at night and goes on murderous rampages.
- Not everyone is impressed with Josh Hamilton.
- If you were ever wondering what Ted Lilly’s screen name is, it’s “scarabic.”
- Holy Taco publishes God’s memos.
That’s it for me. There’s no better cure for a losing streak than a Dusty Baker team. Let’s go get two or three, but don’t freak out if we don’t, you big dummies.

Mike D. It would be typical of Santo’s shamelessness to accept the Ford Frick Award. A disingenious, backdoor move like that should embarrass anyone with any shred of dignity; nevermind the fact that he’s the broadcasting equivalent to Mario Mendoza.
Ryan Beariot a friend of mine was like “if i have twins i’m naming them pat and ron!” and i was like “we cant be friends anymore.”

And for that Ford C. Frick nomination, WGN is going to make a big, big donation to the neediest kids fund.
