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.

$200 million in tax-payer funds for improvements to Wrigley? Really?

6 months ago Oswald_spengler_professor_tiny spengler 16 comments 3 recs

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.

This would be an ignominious end to a glorious career.

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

South Side Sox 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.
