Neal Cotts is passed the COI Idiot of the Moment torch (which is fittingly a teddy bear in a Sox t-shirt) by our former Idiot, Fat While Chicago sports can seemingly do nothing wrong of late (Cubs, Blackhawks and Bulls sweep the weekend), there are still some sore spots we must look at. In particular, it seemed unfitting to have the Marmot as our Idiot of the Moment (despite Fat Cub Fan's temporary position) seeing as he is the only consistent pitcher in our bullpen. So on Saturday when the Cubs temporarily went ahead on a WTP-Lee double which he stupidly tried to leg out to a triple, I said to the other Idiots, "Well, at least Dempster won't get the lost."
"What are you talking about?" they said, "We just went ahead, pay attention."
"Ah, but you pay attention," I replied, "look who Lou has up in the pen."
Okay, so it wasn't exactly like that, but sure enough Lou brought in Neal "Fucker" Cotts to pitch in the 7th and 8 pitches later there are men standing on first and second. FUCKER (See the nickname fits)! At least the Marmot came in and saved the inning (although he would go on to break down in the 8th). This prompted Angry to go off on me for keeping the Marmot as the COI Idiot of the Moment and the executive decision was made to replace him with "Fucker".
I think we have all had enough of Cottsy and it's time he heads back down to Triple A, bring up the Shark, move Mayonnaise to the #5 position and put Marshall as our only lefty in the bullpen (just like I said back in ST). Either way, Cotts is on a short leash with Lou, and with Marshall moving to the bullpen for the Cincy series, we will see how much patience he has with "Fucker".
Go Cubs!

I was at the game and I gave Mr Cotts a big BOOOO as did many fans. I'm one of those fans who doesn't usually like to boo my own team, but every once in awhile a guy earns it.
