College of Idiots: COI Final (and possibly worst) Post of 2009

COI 2009 Year in Pictures (in no particular order, GFY Photobucket)

Well, 2009 is almost done and the Cubs ring in another decade with about as much excitement as meeting Moises Alou and then realizing that you have to shake his hand (you know, cause he pees on his hands...fuck people, I didn't say the jokes would be good). 'Member last year when Hendry traded away McDreamy on December 31 in order to make room for the awesome Milton Bradley? It's hard to say that Hendry has learned from his mistakes, and some could say that not picking up anyone is a good move. That old addition by subtraction thing. So what's in store for next year? It's hard to predict at this point. Will Big Z still be on the team? Will Damon be the next Garciaparra (in that he's old and will suck for the Cubs)? Will Sandberg be the next manager as Lou just gives up and moves to Florida? Are you still reading this?

Really, no Cubs news is good Cubs news. So we move on. There apparently was a football game on Monday. Aramasho-DO! You know you have a great job when you can ask your boss to come in early so you don't miss the game and then on your way out she says, "Go Bears!" Well, at least when you live in AZ anyways. The game was awesome and seeing Favre almost cry at the end was about as joyous a sight one can see. It's great that all the radio shows are talking about how much they hate that fudge packer. He's finally getting his dues for being the douche that all us Bears fans knew he was. I'm not going to go into the debate over whether or not that was a good or bad win for the Bears. You would hope the McCaskey's won't be swayed by their Lovie decision by one game. I just hope that Cutler and the wide receivers work out together in the offseason, as we finally saw what Cutler can really do with his gun slinger.

I still have yet to see a Blackhawks game this year, although maybe tonight. I found out that I don't get Versus on the DirecTV (which many of the Blackhawks games are shown on nationally), my internet connection is shit (so I can't watch on that) and with the gf absolutely despising watching hockey (so probably no ordering the NHL package), I hate to say that I will miss most of the magical season that they are having, but it's probably true. Yes, I am a horrible Chicago fan.

Well, we won't bore you with another one of those lists about the past decade/year/players/teams/etc. I'm sure you can find that shit somewhere else... Fine then, Ginger's Top 10 Cubs player's (nicknames) of the decade (in no particular order): Little Babe Ruth, DP Lee, El Toro Loco, Kid K, White Slice, Hank White, The Big Smooth, Mad Dog, The Human Rally Killer, and of course Ginger Matt. Happy fuckers?

So Happy New Year from COI! Hopefully we can forge more blogger alliances in the new year, maybe even meet a couple of you if you come out for ST (who knows, we might even buy you a tasty World Famous Dos Gringos Pre-made Margarita). We hope are readership continues to grow (now 5 regular readers and counting). And don't forget to friend us on facebook (I need more friends so I can expand my farm on farmville), just use that button over there on the right side bar.

And remember: Stay Classy, Chicago!

UPDATE: Cubs sign Marlon Byrd to a 3 year, $15 million contract. Byrd is coming off a career year in Texas. How could this not go wrong? Oh yeah, Aaron Miles. FUCK!
