Sveum Sets Postseason Pitching Rotation
Payback Time
After the Cubs did us all a favor and saved us all a good deal of stress by wrapping up the division on Saturday afternoon, I was a bit conflicted as to how I wanted this last week of the season to unfold. With the Cubs facing the Mets and then the Brewers, two [...]
Milwaukee Season Prognosis: NEGATIVE
It was a good run, Milwaukee, but there’s no need to show up for the rest of your games. You’re not going to recover from scoring only ONE run after loading the bases twice in five innings against Rich Harden. And surrendering four runs in the bottom of the 9th inning when you [...]
The Astros and Their Fans Sound Like Tina Turner
Have you ever heard anyone complain about Ike more than the Astros and their fans are doing this week? Yesterday, Cecil Cooper sat down with his long-time drinking Bud(dy) Selig to voice his “frustration” that the poor, poor Astros had to play two “home” games against the Cubs up at Miller Park. This [...]
Cry me a tropical storm, Astros fans
It’s been awhile since I stopped by, and I apologize. It’s just that Jim Essian Signing Day came, and I went on a bender. As soon as the glow of Signing Day came, the ledge jumpers had me scared off. I’m too old for this crap.
Anyway, I just wanted to note all that whining and [...]
Hang in There, Brewers; Dusty May be Available Soon
2008 Cubs MVP Ned Yost was fired. Somewhere (probably in an Old Country Buffet), CC Sabathia is dancing jiggling with glee.
Thanks to JOn for the link.
Who Wants to Win the NL Central?
Seriously? Is this how it’s going to be in September? I was in the midst of a party to appease J-Kerm on Saturday. When I turned off the Cubs game, they had a very comfortable 9-1 lead. Ned Ryerson on Sunday told me that the final of the game was 14-9. [...]
Jason’s Last Stand?
A week ago, we sized up the final six weeks of the Cubs’ season and developed a scenario where the Cubs could have the division wrapped up with a week to go, where they could spend that final week setting up their playoff rotation while also playing spoiler to the Brewers and Mets.
The first phase [...]
Ned Yost Should Be Indicted
With Dusty Baker in town with his old familiar dumbassery and excuse-making in tow, it’s easy to think he is the stupidest manager in the National League Central, and he very well may be. But Ned Yost is sure making it interesting, isn’t he? Yost’s handling of CC Sabathia in Sabathia’s nine starts [...]
Those Brewers Fans Really Know How to Celebrate
There’s nothing like a little successful baseball to bring out the money-grubbing douchebags. Why bother inventing something original when you can throw together a stupid catchphrase having to do with your favorite team (vaguely enough so they can’t sue the hell out of you), slap it on a sign, and sell it to a [...]
