douchebag idea of the day
Ozzie Guillen is either a fool or a tool-- or perhaps (for those, unlike me, who are inclined to be charitable) he just outhunk himself.
Sendiing Dunn to pinch hit for Lillibridge was so mindless that it caught the attention of the mothership.

douchebag idea of the day
This isn't exactly breaking news by now, but holy shit, Carlos Zambrano has elevated himself to the pinnacle, the zenith, the apex, the pantheon, nay the hall of fame of douchebaggery. His notion of pissing away $24 million dollars- conceived, mind you, as a solution to his very own inability to avoid being one of the world's premier douchebags- is likely the douchebag idea of the season. Only in Wrigleyville could a player turn himself into this veritable tautology of douchedom; only there could a man, by virtue solely of his own unassailable wretchedness, turn what should normally be an occasion of sympathy for another loss in another lost season, into a spectacle of such cataclysmic egotism that even the Cubs organization and the sorry hordes of lemmings known as Cub fans are throwing up in their mouths. It is beautiful in its purity, desolation, and futility, this confluence of a douchebag, his douchebag behavior, his douchebag response to his own douchebaggery- and, ultimately, their demoralizing effect on the legions of douchebags who pay to watch him suck.

I guess no Pujols for the Sox.

This one appears to have come home to roost. Oscar Wilde anyone?

Cheer up, damn it.
The tone around here has been fucking ghastly-- glum & hopeless, with the occasional vitriol and ledge-jumping thrown in.

I used to post comments and diaries here all the time. I still read the blog almost every day, but it seems to have changed. Did I miss something? Was there an announcement? I see Cheat posting comments but muy pocos articulos. Not complaining, just wondering.

If McCarthy starts, who's out?
If Ozzie gives BMac a shot in the rotation, you'd have to assume Buehrle, Garcia, or Vazquez would be the odd man out.

Russ Springer for President
According to the AP, MLB is already reviewing Russ Springer's immensely popular beaning of Barry Bonds.
Thome vs. Thomas
A premature, preliminary DH comparison: over the winter, KW let slugger Frank Thomas go, concerned about a chronically debilitating foot injury. To replace him, he acquired Jim Thome, of the ailing elbow and back. This site debated some about the relative 2006 prospects of these two aging titans. Much depended on analysis of their respective medical conditions, about which only larry had anything meaningful to say. Now we have a statistical sample- albeit small- to begin arguing about whether Billy Beane or KW is the bigger genius.
