College of Idiots

Yes, I am still alive everyone. I realize I have not been coming through but I have been pretty f'ing busy. If I wasn't watching so many Cubs games I could use what little free time I have to get some posts up.

Anyway, to the news of the day. Drunk Russ broke the news already. I got my Cub tattoo today. I was going to go with the beady eyed Cubs from the late 60s but I opt'ed for the tradition "C" from the hat.

Here it is:

I am going to use this tat to motivate me to blog more. I have some many thoughts that I need to share with you. If I become sleep deprived so be it. In the end it could all be worth it.

BTW - Can someone explain to me how Pujols didn't get DRILLED today?

PEACE!

It's true! I don't have a picture, but soon. And maybe soon he will blog again.

Also, in Cubs news, Hill was sent down, Gallagher was sent up, and Lieber moved to the rotation. Lilly pitched another good outing, Marmot can't stop being the most dominating pitcher in the game.

And I'm watching Costas Now, and old people don't like blogs. Sorry gramps, I'm going to keep it up.

Go Cubs! We need to get back to first.

So a 30 minute lunch break is ALMOST enough time to have a smoke, eat some leftover chicken, shrimp and broccoli stir fry, and read the latest of Hire Jim Essian. Since we need more posts, here is the rip from said post:

Question to Cubs.com from concerned fan:

Aug. 8 is the 20th anniversary of the first night game at Wrigley. Why is the game not a night game? Is there any chance they will change it?
– Liana W., Hiawatha, Iowa

Bad Kermit:

Don’t worry. By the time they bring the game tape all the way to Hiawatha on horseback and run it through the projector at the town picture show so all the town folk can watch it, it will be night time. It will also be August 12th.

CARRIE: I’m sure you know that the game was rained out on Aug. 8, 1988, so the first official night game at Wrigley Field was played the next night, Aug. 9. That said, Aug. 8 this year is a Friday, and one of the rules regarding night games at Wrigley is that none are played on Fridays or Saturdays. It’s an attempt to help alleviate some of the congestion in the Wrigleyville neighborhood.

Bad Kermit:

A lesser-known rule regarding night games at Wrigley is that you have to have at least one dude with a popped collar yell at you, “Cubbies fucking rule, bro! Fuckin’ D-Lee, bro! Looooouuuu! Let’s do a shot, man! What are you, a pussy?”

Classic! Cubs on national tv tonight, let's show everyone how it's done.

Go Cubs!

So the Cubs finally lost today. First time in a week. It's not all bad though, Marquis had a good outing, going 7 strong innings. It's not his fault The Riot can't turn two. Hey Riot, you went from off, to on, to off again, to back on Jeff's shit-list. You're like a Duncan Yo-Yo. Well, we can't expect to win every game 148 - 2. Speaking of scoring, the Cubs lead the majors in runs scored so far this year (I had a link to reference this, but I can't find it. Trust me? Why wouldn't you?). Well, it's off to DC...the city, not the comic books. The Nats are playing so bad even Leno got in on the action.

"46,000 people showed up to see the Pope in the Washington Nationals' ballpark. He beat the Nationals 15-1. … To make sure the crowd did not get unruly they cut off beer sales after the 7th commandment."

Also, not to beat a dead horse (who beats dead horses anyways? in my day we huffed airbrush propellant to get our rocks off), but I happened to catch the WGN salute to the Cubs and 60 years on WGN. Worse fans ever, huh Marty? I guess all the Cubs players, past and present must have played/play in a different ballpark, cause all they had to say was that Cub fans are the best in the Majors. Even Sosa, who half the town doesn't even like anymore loved playing for the Cubs. Once again, GFY Marty, we're not all douches.

Well, I'm off to drown my sorrows in a bottle of room-temp crappy vodka. Maybe this will perk up my spirits.


Go Cubs!

The Cubs are in sole possession of first place in the Central! YES! And less than 2 weeks ago we were in last. Okay, there have only been 3 weeks, but still, we are on FIRE!

So how was everyone's 4/20? What's that, you don't remember? Put down the bong and stop smoking so much pots. Now pick up a PBR, or Old Style if you live East of the Mississippi, and cheers on the Cubs!

7 games over .500 after today's win, and we're still not even out of April. Jeez, all that worrying after the first 3 games for nothing. Everything is working like a well-oiled Uncle Lou liquor-dispensing machine..hitting on all cylinders. And after Lilly finally wins a game tomorrow the 2-in-a-row series sweep will be, albeit shortened, very sweet tomorrow.

Go Cubs!
