Daaa Bearse... 8-3... first place... it's great in all... but we shant forget... Bearse should have lost the first game of the year to Detroilet...
Calvin Johnson... should have been FTW... but it wasn't because he's retarded and wanted to celebrate, and a bogus rule helped daa Bearse get a win they shouldn't have gotten...
Here's the clip if you forgot...
MOVING RIGHT ALONG
That game was a gift... now daa Bearse, like Nuke LaLoosh, has to announce their presence with authority in Detroilet today... no fuckin' around, just take care of business...
Drew Stanton is starting for Detroilet... Ball State football could beat a Drew Stanton led team, especially now than Stan Parrish is gonzo...
I'll keep this short and sweet...
THE PREDICTION
The Beloved - 24
Detroilet - 7
Detroit is a dump, Pistons suck, nobody likes the Tigers, and the only time the Lions are cool is when Axel Foley is wearing the Lions jacket in "Beverly Hills Cop"... whadda stinktown...
A day has passed since the news of Ron Santo's death, and it still hasn't set in that he's gone... hearing his glorious nonsense on the radio everyday was one of the best parts of being a Cubs fan... he was the greatest Cub of all, and he won't be forgotten...
My thoughts now are similar to when Harry Caray passed away... this upcoming season is shaping up to be one where a below average team can rally to play some good ball to honor a legend...
It's not likely, but the 2011 Cubs have a chance to do what the 1998 Cubs did...that team did not have very many good ballplayers, but they all had one common goal, honor the memory of Harry Caray...
Say what you will about Sammy Sosa, the guy had a monster season, carried a mediocre team into the playoffs, and along with Big Mac, pulled the MLB out of the gutter it had been in thanks to the '94 strike... Kerry Wood K's 20 Astros in one of the best games ever pitched in baseball history... Mark Grace had another good season... Oh Henry Rodriguez was a nice left-handed stick... a solid starting rotation with Wood, Steve Trachsel, Kevin Tapani, Mark Clark and Terry Mullholland... Rod Beck, nuff said... and Jim Riggleman pulled all the right strings... that was the most fun season I can remember watching as a Cubs fan, because besides those things I mentioned above, the Cubs were pretty average, but just kept winning...
You see it all the time in sports, a tragedy that brings a team together and they play above their capabilities... you would like to think that a team is capable of putting it all together without having to lose someone like a Ron Santo, but it's just the way it is...
With that said, maybe the 2011 Cubs can put it all together...
Maybe Mike Quade is the right man for the job
Maybe Tyler Colvin is going to blossom into an all star
Maybe Starlin Castro will fight off the sophomore slump that has killed former Cub rookie hotshots like Jerome Walton, Corey Patterson and Geo Soto (was dreadful in 2009)
Maybe Hendry brings in a Brandon Webb and he regains his Cy Young form
Maybe a Carlos Pena takes over at first base and turns back the clock
And most of all, maybe Carlos Zambrano continues pitching the way he did down the stretch last year after he came back from therapy and not only wins 20 games, but runs away and hides in the Cy Young race...
None of this is very likely at all... the 2011 Cubs are probably a second or a third place team AT BEST... but in the Cubbie Universe, nothing is what it seems and good things happen when you don't expect it... and bad things happen when you expect the Cubs to be good (thank you Sweet Lou for going 0-6 in 2 postseason trips when you have the best record in the NL)
It would be soo Cubs for them to put it all together after one of their greatest players and no doubt their greatest fan of all time passes away... it just might happen... and number 10 will most definitely be watching...
By the dubs, "This Old Cub"... epic movie... I have it on DVD and it really is fantastic
Snow is like that girl that you used to hang out with but stopped because she was really annoying... then after a long time passes, you're at the bars and you drunk text her because you forgot how annoying she was, and then you see her again ur like, "fuck I forgot I can't stand you!"
Yes... that is what snow is like... and we had the first big snow of the year here in Chicago over the night... and now I have to go plow the driveway... but first, put your hands together for the master of snow blowing, Mr. Plow...
There is only a few things I hate more than snow plowin' snow:
Mowing the lawn (cuz uh mah allergies)
Those lame bitch ass Twilight vampire movies
The fans of those lame bitch ass vampire movies
Brett Brett Brett Brett Brett Brett
The "Check Engine" light
And so forth
BREAKING NEWS - Our snow blower needs a new part that won't be here for a few days... so I've been downgraded to shoveling... poop
"Poop?" - Brent Musburger
Ya, so I need to call my boy below...
Problem is, he's a cartoon... and he CAN'T rap!
So like Jack Torrence, I will stumble out into the snow completely pissed off, but without all the murderousness...
This shoveling of the snow might be the death of me... it won't be because of the airplanes... oh no, it wasn't the airplanes... it was the shoveling that killed the Kyle...
Feels like yesterday was f'n July... now it's December, and this month needs to, as Dr. Ian Malcolm says, "Must Go Faster!"... wake me when it's Xmas Eve... or at least on mah b-day!
I know it's December bc I was in my house and noticed two guys creepin' thru the windows...
Anywho... this is shaping up to be a killer month...we have soo much to look forward to:
Daaa Bearse on a playoff run... as long as Jay Baby doesn't throw it to Chuck Woodson more than J-Knox
Christmas movies - no doubt there will be posts about the best Xmas movies of all time, and there will definitely be a major surprise for my top Xmas movie of all time...
Christmas music - fo shiz gonna be a post on top Xmas music... no surprises here... Wham's "Last Christmas" is the best Xmas song of all time
Throwing snowballs at cars
Egg Nog!!! Didn't have much egg nog when I was in Kennewick last year, it's just kind of depressing drinking egg nog alone, much more so than drinking alchy alone... in fact, I don't remember drinking any types of nog, period...
In the meantime, I will give you all to the count of ten to get ya ugly, yella, no good keista off my blog, before I pump your guts full of Youtube clips! ONE, TWO, TEN!!! (Angels with Filthy Souls below)
It was a toss up between this music and the "Cliffhanger", but "Daylight" is just too underrated to pass up... Amy Brennamen... YES!!!
And his name is Kit Latura... total badass... I listen to this music when I need to just hammer out work like a press release or something of that boring nature...
This blog is topical just like "South Park"... just not as funny... three words... Mintberry Crunch and SHABLAGOO!!!
Anne Hathaway and James Franco to host this years Academy Awards? Good gravy... and not the good kind of gravy I inhaled last Thursday...
The thing that makes a great Oscar host is stage presence, the ability to perform LIVE... classic examples are Billy Crystal, Johnny Carson, Hugh Jackman, Chevy Chase and yes, David Letterman...
If the Academy had any brains, and they don't, they would have picked from these three hosts...
Ricky Gervais... no brainer... this guy dominated the Golden Globes...
Jimmy Fallon... he killed it at the Emmys... this opening was unreal, and I'm not even that big a fan of "Glee" (it's not terrible)
and of course... Billy Crystal... no explanation necessary...
Ohhhh noooo... but Hathaway and Franco are gonna be great! Uhhhhh no they won't... Harry Osborne is a little bitch... damnit... as long as the Academy gives a best supporting nod for Michael Douglas for "Wall Street 2", I'll sleep alright...
This goes to the greatest baseball game for Nintendo... ever... sorry RBI Baseball and Bad News Baseball, you guys are fuckin' out!
Ryne Sandberg plays...
First, he appears on the cover of the best baseball game ever for NES, and probably for any system (Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball for SNES was sick, its a toss up)... now, Ryno is the manager for your CHICAGO CU... ooops, I mean the AAA Phillies coach... fuck you, Hendry!
With great hitters like Leland and Brodie, and unhittable pitchers like Talbot, this was a game that just couldn't be beat... I played this game non-stop growing up as a kid and it helped shape the man I am today... a man with a short attention span who is kinda slllooooowwwwwww... thanks Nintendo
