Wow....tons of news

Good evening everyone! I know it has been a while since my last post but now seemed like a good time to throw some commentary out there.

How about the Kerry Wood situation? I have to admit, I am not happy to see him go. I suppose it's the true Cubs fan in me. It's kind of like that wife who cries when her old man, who kicks her ass nightly, leaves her. I have no doubt Kerry wanted to return to the Cubs but giving that guy a multi-year contract would be a disaster. I honestly can't remember the last time he put together two "full" seasons together. Gregg will be a welcome addition assuming they don't try to have him close. Marmol should hit the bill nicely. Despite his electric stuff last season, Kerry Wood blew 6 of 40 saves. Marmol should improve on that number and the money saved by not signing Wood should help pay for either Peavy's 2009 salary or whatever left-handed stiff they find to hit in the lineup.

Zambrano won ran away with the Silver Slugger award for NL pitchers. Shocking I know. Balls.

The Peavy trade rumors aren't dying and it looks like the Braves might be pulling themselves from the running. I don't care if they find a lefty for the lineup, a rotation of Peavy, Zambrano, Harden, Lilly, and Marquis would pretty much gaurantee a division championship in 2009....barring injury (knock on Wood....all puns intended....).

In non-Cubs related news...

The Bears have a HUGE game against the Packers tomorrow. I will be watching my final game from Hawaii and will be making my triumpant return to the weekly rediculousness near Riggs and Linsday next weekend. I can hardly wait. Lets hope the Bears step up and put some distance between themselves and the only other team I feel has a legitmate chance of winning the NFC North.

College basketball is finally starting so I can forget about the Boilers shitty football season. Hey, at least we beat Michigan!

OUT!
