Ill Say It Again: I'm Glad I'm Not A Cubs Fan

Due to the rain delay that is keeping me from my beloved Brewers I had the distinct pleasure of checking out Monday Night Baseball on ESPN. To my shagrin (butchered that spelling) it was the Phillies/Cubs. It did give me an opportunity to witness quite the beatdown however (In game feed, so hopefully I don't jinx the Phils). Its amazing just how lazy someone can be. Soriano was responsible for back-to-back defensive blunders, including a miscommunication with Fukudome and a straight-out booted fly ball, leading to multiple runs. This brings to mind images of Jason Kendall's triple into the left-field corner in a game against the Cubs I attended. How do you let Kendall get a triple in left field and still call yourself a professional? I think you get paid enough to TRY, don't you Alfonso? I offer no advice to Lou on how to handle this lack of team effort, as it is great to watch them fail....again....and forever.

Cubs fans hate Zambrano

YES!!! It's true, even those great fans to our South have some intelligence. After, Zambrano's meltdown again on Sunday, Chicago Tribune writer, Phil Rogers has a great article today. After reading the article, make sure you take the chance and vote to see the results. A heathy 57% of the voters want Zambrano out. Too bad, he has a no-trade clause, suckers!

Cubs Chemistry in Collapse

Although the Crew has been dealing with a host of woes as of late, it is, well, refreshing to see our rival to the south with some of their own. According to usatoday.com, Lou Pinniela sent bust/crybaby/entertainer Milton Bradley home during the Sox/Cubs game on Friday. After a few strikeouts, words were exchanged between Lou and Milton, followed by a helmet throw, more words, and a gatorade jug beating by Milton. Lou is said to have told Milton to remove his uniform and go home. This lead to more fighting in the clubhouse.

Read and enjoy.

Zambrano needs a babysitter

Didn't Carlos Zambrano just get suspended six games? Zambrano missed the Cubs charter on Monday, and Lou Piniella apparently let him have it. This guy really needs to get his head checked quickly before he finds himself out of the league. He may be a feared pitcher, but Big Z apparenly needs a chaperone.

I Love the Curse

The Cubbies took 2 out of three from the Crew this past weekend (thanks Jeff Suppan). The Cubs' home opener was today with Ted Lilly almost pitching perfect baseball . But, earlier in the day Chicago PD found a severed goat's head outside of Wrigley Field. So where does Lilly's no-no go? He was perfect until 6 2-3 innings where he gave up the only hit of the game to Garrett Atkins.

And this is why I love the curse.
