Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Everything Blows!” Edition
Not a lot of time for a Roundup this week, what with us avoiding hurricanes and gun-toting Texans. Thanks to someone whose real name I’m not sure I can use, but who I think is Poon for the picture. Anyhow, here’s your Roundup:
- Ted Lilly is a killing machine.
- If Fukudome is planning on improving, now would be a good time for it.
- GODAN is off to destroy another city.
- Don’t ask me stupid questions if you don’t want real answers.
- Remember the hotties and forget the fatties.
- For the record, Miles barely made it out of the room alive.
- What’s it going to take to get Curt Schilling to disappear and never come back?
- Dempster is allegedly funny, and other things you didn’t know about the Cubs (and the Sox).
- Those die-hard White Sox fans who “demand winning baseball” are showing up at the park less this year, despite the fact that their team has been in first place for much of the season. Idiots.
- Yo, doc! There’s a Benjamin Franklin in it for you if you leave a couple sponges and a rabid ferret in there.
Anyhow, that’s it for me. There’s not a lot of regular-season baseball left to be played. Can you lunatics at least try to enjoy it?
-Sweet Uncle Lou

From ESPN.com:
(Felipe) Lopez was not impressed with Cubs lefty Ted Lilly, who worked eight innings Wednesday. “I don’t know about anybody else, but to me he’s not that good,” Lopez said. “I’m not going to give him that much credit.”
Really, Felipe? Lilly is the one who’s not good? You should be in Johnson City, but the lefty with the third most wins since 2006 (Sabathia 47, Santana 46, Lilly 44) is “not that good”. You cost your team this series, moron. Go away.
The Lilly-Molina collision is just beautiful. As soon as he takes off, you know that magnificent, murderous bastard has chosen his next victim. Especially nice is the knee that just misses the sweet spot, but obviously does a good bit of damage, anyway.
The icing is Teddy popping up immediately and jogging to the dugout like nothing happened, all while The Third Molina is writhing around in pain. It felt strange, because you know that’s what happens right after he gives in to his urges…
Felipe Lopez, he of the “I’m so shitty I was fucking dropped outright by the Washington Nationals earlier this season” group. What a tool.
I’ve had nothing to do with that picture, but I really wish I had.
Thanks for the link on the Sux attendance being down, gives me some new ammo to talk shit about over teh weekend.
Ummm… Am I crazy, or does the T-shirt on the guy behind the Nacho Libre Cub fan in that picture say “Get Porn”?

Who the hell is Christina Kahrl, and who does she THINK she is?



Dear Lou,
I promise to enjoy it if you promise to wrap up the division with a week to play.
