A Good Year for the Outlaw

So this summer I’m seeing more of these white flags with a blue “W” on them, and I don’t know what they are. Some of my employees educated me to the “we put these out whenever the Cubs win the day before” reason for these flags. Only on wins? No wonder I haven’t often seen [...]

I don’t pay much attention to baseball anymore, outside of checking the standings here and there. But what with Sosa’s name back in the news (one of the guys who made me feel the way I know feel about baseball), and the latest folly at Wrigley Dump this evening, I gotta comment.
I understand 40,000 people [...]

Report: Sosa tested positive for steroids in 2003
Wow. Knock me over with a feather. Didn’t see that one comin’.
NOT!
It’s about time this jackass’ name finally got exposed. What a joke. What a freakin’ joke he was/is/and always will be. Eat it, f’en Cub fans in denial. Your boy was right in there with Bonds, [...]

For fans of a real franchise, every time Billy gives you this, I will respond with this:

Explains a lot about the man and the team he cheers for, doesn’t it?

What an unbelievable turnaround in just two short seasons in Chicago for the Blackhawk franchise. Sad to say, it’s now COMPLETELY obvious how much Bill Wirtz was holding back this club.
In just two short years since Rocky Wirtz took over for his dad, and made perfect hire after perfect hire, the ‘hawks are again [...]

Lotsa noise being made in Chicago over this one:

Peoria’s new-look, blazing fast Rivermen are 2-0 and look like they could live up to their press clippings. I highly recommend you get to the PCC and see this team before some of these guys are inevitably called up to St. Louis or traded. Martin Kariya (Paul’s brother) had 3 goals over the opening weekend, [...]

I did my impression of the Cubs making the playoffs this week at work: I walked backwards down the hall.
Anyway, while you guys go ga-ga for simply making the postseason, enjoy this list of teams that have made the postseason at least 4 times in this decade already:
Boston Red Sox; New York Yankees; California Angels; Atlanta Braves; St [...]

The Cubs have just sent Michael “Rockhead” Barrett to San Diego for some cash and a backup catcher. Talk about addition by subtraction. Now, they’re just a dumping of Kerry Wood away from another positive move for team chemistry.

Not a lot of talk coming out of Billy and Mouse about the Cubs lately. Let’s check the standings…
Cardinals, 23-29, 2nd place in baseball’s lamest division
Cubs 22-30, 4th place (and only 2.5 games out of last) in baseball’s lamest division, and now fighting each other in the dugout because their overrated “ace” (and tremendously hot [...]

I forgot to do a “…since the Cubs last won…” update last week.
I’m taking a different approach this week:
Did you know Leo Tolstoy (b. 1828) and Mark Twain (b. 1835) were both still alive when the Cubs last won a World Series. That is simply unbelievable. Both writers passed away in 1910.

This week’s edition of: “Something that came into the world SINCE the pathetic, hapless, worst pro sports franchise ever – the Chicago Cubs – last won a World Series.”

That’s right. Talking movies came AFTER the last Cubs’ title.
