‘Bad Cubs Baseball’ Archives
Weepy Lou & The Whiny Bitch
Cubs fans never cease to amaze me. Whether it's still packing Wrigley everyday, still throwing visiting teams home run balls back onto the field, cheering Mark DeRosa upon his return as if he was Ryne Sandberg, or how the drunk fools in the bleachers still think it's cool to act like a fool---those are just a few, I could go all day on [...]
1 Down…1 To Go
It shouldn't have come as news to Cubs fans at the Lou Piniella funeral the other day that new owner Tom Ricketts plans on keeping GM Jim Hendry and "president" Crane Kenney in their jobs past this season. Most fans, with a clue, would think that a new owner coming in would want to clean house and build the organization his way, with his [...]
It’s Almost Over
After following the NBA's free agent madness the past couple of weeks, it's time to focus on my abysmal baseball team. I've had no motivation to watch the Cubs so far this season until now. Why? Because ,there is nothing else to watch sports-wise until NFL training camps open at the end of this month. So, for the next two weeks, it's time for [...]
The $91.5 Million Dollar Douche Bag
If you bet it would be before July when the Cubs $91.5 million dollar asshole would blow up and make a fool of himself, congrats. You've won 3 more months of god awful baseball on the north side. It's been a few days since Zambrano went postal on Derrick Lee, but I wasn't sure I wanted to waste time writing about the mental midget. Z has been [...]
The Cubs Clown Car
In my ongoing attempt to get Cubs general manager Jim Hendry fired, or to disappear like a rat in The Sopranos, I thought this was the perfect time to put another nail in the soon to be fired GM's enormous coffin. It's not completely out of spite, but the latest "Cubby occurrence" has given me no choice. The Cubs dynamic duo (Hendry and Lou [...]
The Worst Contracts In Sports
With so much going on in the sports world this week, how could I possibly find time to write about the worst contracts in sports? Well, despite the Bulls and Blackhawks in the playoffs, the NFL draft, the Big Ben saga, the release of the NFL schedule (who cares), and new episodes of Basketball Wives, I've decided this is the time to make this [...]
Why The Cubs Need To Suck In 2010
It's extremely rare, as a sports fan, to see an ownership change of one of your favorite teams. It's also rare to cheer for a team who went from having the best owner in sports (Eddie Debartolo-49ers) to one of the worst (John Dork, I mean York). Having lived through one extreme to the other, I know what type of difference that makes. The 49ers [...]
Maddux & The Roided Up Liar
Wow, what a baseball Monday this is turned out to be. First, new Cubs owner Tom Ricketts hires Greg Maddux to be the assistant to Tubby Hendry, and then in a shocking development Mark McGwire admits steroid use. I haven't had a baseball day this exciting since Barry Bonds was indicted. I will get to the Maddux news later, but let's first get [...]
Going Nowhere…..Again
The hot stove is heating up all over baseball, but all you hear at Clark and Addison is crickets. That, and the constant noise of Jim Hendry going through his fast food bags scrambling for the last french fry. It's the middle of December and the General Manager of the Cubs has done zero to the help the Cubs improve the cesspool he built. Oh, I [...]
2010 Chicago Cubs:New Owner…..Same Problem
I like most lifelong Cubs fans of my generation have always had a common complaint, "Why won't they just sell the team?" I have been through a lot as a Cub fan in my lifetime. I remember as a 4 year old in 1984 when the Cubs won the division my dad telling me "I hope you remember this because it doesn't happen very often." No it doesn't. For [...]
