Posted by Sweet Uncle Lou on Fri, Feb 27, 2009

Cubs, Lou's Friday Roundup, Spring Training

Hey, stupids. This week’s Friday Roundup is going to go CRAZY and have a theme. What have we learned from two Spring Training games?

Well, that’s it for me, jokers. It’s almost time to take the next step on the road to 173-0. Have a good weekend.

    Dang – that’s a great picture of Uncle Miltie! I had a passing thought that he’s Marvin Gaye’s doppelganger…

    And a problem with that beer list – where the hell can I get any of those in lower BC? It’s Sleeman’s Honey Lager Pale Ale for me so far…

    Wait– Growing Pains was awesome?

  3. Small Wonder Says:

    @Mike D. – Not as awesome as me.

  4. Bad Kermit Says:

    @Mike D. – Not if you were in your 30s when it premiered.

  5. original Al Says:

    That’s Dempster’s impression of Will Ferrell’s impression of Harry Carry.@original Al -

    Dempster being Dempster alert!

  8. CactusMcHarris Says:

    So, the Cubs are going to win all of their Cactus League games now, instead of playoff ones. It’s a step in the right direction, I’m sure.

    Hey dorks. Haven’t been to Wrigley in about 15 years. Getting tickets to the July 3rd game and I was hoping you guys could give me some good sections to pick from seeing as how I’ve drunk away most of that part of my memory. Thanks

    I’m new here at Hire Jim Essian. I’ll only stay on a few conditions.

    First that there are no oldtimers rambling on about how much Banks, Dawson, Sandberg, and all those other losers who wore a Cubs uni more than reading some dullard rambling endlessly about how Ron Santo played the game the way it was meant to be played or some nonsense like that.

    Second thing is no one can reply to me with those stupid faces or other icons. I hate those things. If I wasn’t politically correct, I’d say those things were gay. And while we’re at it, how about if the folks monitoring these boards can filter out all stupid responses? I’m a pretty smart guy with an important job and I shouldn’t have to deal with idiots.

    Finally, no Haray Carey imitators. The man is beyond pathetic. The last thing I need when I’m trying to have an intelligent baseball discussion is for some halfwit to respond with “Holy Cow” or “Oh boy Oh boy”. This tiresome hasbeen wore out his welcome 20 years ago and the idiots who admire this dope reflect poorly on intelligent Cub fans everywhere.

    I much smarter than most of the fans here, but I’ll do my best not to talk down to you nice people. I assure everyone here that you’ll all enjoy my insights into the Cubs and baseball in general. I’ll start posting as soon as my three conditions are met.

    @Ziggy-

    Holy Cow! You’re right ;)
