Haven’t blogged in a while, which is a shame because I have some big (or at least numerous) plans in the works, but things have gotten a bit hectic lately. But I saw this and I had to immediately put aside everything to write about it.
The Cubs traded for Rich Harden.
Wow.
I did not see this [...]
Friday I said that Daryl Ward has been practically useless off the bench. Actually, as of Friday afternoon he was literally useless, as he had not had one hit in a pinch hit appearance.
Saturday, off the bench, he had an RBI single which scored Mark DeRosa (who’s been one of my better fantasy league pickups, [...]
Scott Eyre was activated from the DL today, which was a very important move because the Cubs desperately needed another bullpen lefty. So far all they’ve had out of the ‘pen was Sean Marshall, who used to be a starter and is much better suited to long closing roles than the “face one batter and [...]

I don’t think he meant to apply it universally to the lower socio-economic class, but growing up in and among the American proletariat I [...]

I said Lieber and Marshall would get the spots, Dempster would end up in the bullpen, and Marquis would [...]

On Fox News Sunday, Bush gave his critique of Obama, saying “I certainly don’t know what he believes in. The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was that he’s going to attack Pakistan and embrace Ahmenidajad.” Evidently he feels like America doesn’t know what he stands for. Fortunately for us, Barack Obama has [...]
*note* If you have gotten this far, but don’t care to wade through my ramblings, please at least read the last two paragraphs. I think this is kinda important to remember next time you hear reporters spewing obvious misinformation about polling points.
Tuesday was a sad day for elections. First, Andre Dawson, once [...]
