Hello, gang! It’s good to see you all back after a very rough week of Cubs baseball. Though there is a bright side to having a rough week. The angst-filled comments by you guys get better and better the worse the team plays. So, I’m declaring all of you owners of the Comment of the Week. Some of my favorites are below the handsome man.
You're all winners in my book!

From Grow Stubs Grow (re: Kevin Gregg):

How can you expect this jag to focus on pitching when he’s got a Christmas tree farm to run? Do you have ANY IDEA how lucrative of a business selling trees for 2.5 weeks out of the year is? Is it possible to hang a person from a Blue Spruce?

From patpieper:

And did anyone foresee Chad Fox spending almost the full year on the DL? I think Jim Hendry has been snakebitten all year. Poor snake.

And what would an angst thread be without Mike D.?

I know the throbbing cocklove for Nobel Prize Winning Mark DeRosa–who has to date, saved 64 people from burning buildings and put millions of Americans back to work during this painful recession–can cloud people’s judgement, but is it asking too much for you to look up some stats to back up such an idiotic and flat-out wrong assertion?

These are the DeRo HeRo’s numbers since joining St. Louis.

.228 BA
.282 OBP
.465 SLG

He’s struck out 31 times while reaching base via walk 7 times. This in 124 trips to the dish. Sure he’s got 8 dingers but, besides that, what about those numbers is solid? Unless you mean solidly mediocre?

The Cardinals may be going to the playoffs, but it’s certainly not because of anything this fuckjob has been doing for them.

So many more were great that I had a hard time keeping up with them all. But you can all pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. Keep up the angst, gentlemen! See you next week!
