Go Cubs Go...

I still can't believe we swept the Brewers in four. The Cubs are like Muddy Waters. GOT THEY MOJO WORKIN!!

Jim Edmonds for President. That's all I've got to say. I still shake my head in embarassment at the idiot fans who were in an uproar when his acquisition was announced. They're all bleacher freaks anyway. Have another Old Style and shut up. Morons.

Edmonds would have won the game himself with his five runs if the Cubbies hadn't tacked on another six, thanks in part to Kosuke and Alpo each knocking longballs. Which is why that amateur hack Eric Gagne tried to bean Edmonds in the ninth. Thanks Eric. Before it was just a friendly rivalry. Now you've given us a depth of hatred for your team normally reserved for the likes of St. Louis and the Palehosiery. You may have just given us the extra spark we needed to grind your team into hamburger and win this division.

Ron Santo was hysterically funny in trashing Gagne. "That's just the kind of guy he is. He can't pitch like he used to any more... that's just bush [league]!" You could tell there were a few more colorful words on the tip of his tongue that he just barely managed to restrain.

Bring on the Buckos.

You've missed the point completely. Why, when you're trailing by 9 runs in the top of the 9th would the Beermakers have ANOTHER guy in the pen warming up when there's no outs, nobody on base and your former closer is facing the first batter of the inning?

Because the manager knew his knucklehead pitcher was going to do something petty and stupid and he'd get tossed because of it. Gagne wasn't acting alone. He was told to do it.
