College of Idiots: That's It Calendar, Take Off Your Jersey And Go Home!

That's It Calendar, Take Off Your Jersey And Go Home!

Posted by Ginger Russ Friday at Friday, June 26, 2009

If you have this calendar at home, I urge you to burn it!

I've had enough. I have discussed my cursed Cubs calendar before on a couple occasions. Either the player of the month has been traded or has been injured for that month. Last month was Zambrano, who went on the DL during May. This month it's Soriano.

"But Ginger, Soriano isn't injured?"

No, but he might as well be. Sure the calendar was all fun and games when it traded away Rich Hill (Mr. March) and Felix Pie (Mr. November). So what? But then Mark DeRosa (Mr. January) was traded. Now it was stepping on some toes. But when it took out Aramis in April and then Z last month it was crossing the line.

Like a good manager, though, I gave it one more chance. Well calendar, take off your jersey and go home. This month Soriano has hit .187 BA with a .260 OBP. It's the worst stretch of his career. And I'm blaming you calendar!

So I did what any good GM would do. The calendar has been traded. Today I ordered a new 2009 Cubs calendar (along with a hat and a book) and the old, cursed one will be sacrificially burned to rid the Cubs of any more bad ju-ju. Don't worry Ted Lilly (Mr. July) the calendar won't be able to hurt you now.

Yes Steve, you were right, I was wrong. You are smart, I am stupid. You are attractive, I'm not very good looking. Blah, blah, blah.

Go Cubs!
