Things That Make Me Say Hmmm: Cubs Are Done Edition
Things that make me say "hmmmm":
- If you can't hit, you can't win. Cub fans now know what it was like to watch the White Sox all year.
- Based on history, the Cubs will go into the tank next season. Doug Melvin, time to get busy.
- Memo to Dick Stockton: It's not Chris Marmol.
- Charlie Manuel, thanks for playing. Please collect your consolation prizes at the door on your way out. I'll bet Pat Gillick has The Genius on speed dial.
- I usually get pumped up for a Bears-Packers game. But knowing the Elderly Hillbilly will dissect the Bears like Rosie O'Donnell eating a chicken, I have no enthusiasm. Plus, the day after I get the arrogant, smug Cub fans off the radar, I have to deal with arrogant, smug, Packer fans.
- The Nashville Predators, weakened by ownership questions and lack of cash flow, lose their best defenseman for up to six weeks. I don't think it's bothering them too much.
- Oh my gosh. The Blackhawks actually won a game before Thanksgiving.
- Here's something I never thought I would write: Michael Waltrip wins the pole (at Talladega) No doubt NASCAR will be conducting a rigorous inspection. Interestingly, Jeff Gordon qualified 34th, but says they were testing the set up not the speed. Let's see how that flies later today.
- If you are a single mother, a college student or a low income person, watch out for the RIAA. What I can't understand is how they arrive at how much and song costs and how gleeful they are that some signle mother is going to spend the rest of her life having to pay for this. There are no more greedy bastards on earth than these people and someone needs to step up to the plate and shut them down. Stealing music is wrong, but charging people $200,000 for 23 songs that they could by for $20 from a music service is a lot more wrong.
- In a surprise to no one, the wrongly accused Duke lacrosse players decide to add to their retirement accounts. I love how CNN puts the words "disgraced prosecutor" in their headline. Mike Nifong is a bad attorney for what he did, but these kids aren't exactly virgins either. How about we report the news without trying to tip public opinion?
- Al Sharpton threatens to protest Knicks games if Isiah Thomas is not disciplined for his sexual harassment of a former VP. Al decided to get involved when he was guaranteed that cameras were still there. It seems that in all of these deals, Rev. Al comes injects himself into a situation that is painfully obvious, pours gasoline on the fire and serves as self-appointed judge, jury and executioner. What is painfully obvious from both this situation and the Imus situation, is Rev. Al is far more interested in seeing himself on TV and making the rounds on the cable tak shows than he is the virtue of women. And, his liberal enablers on the talk circuit will trip all over themselves to get him on because he fills a segment which can fill a show which makes their jobs easier. Two words, Rev. Al: Butt out.
- Soon, you may have to have government clearance to fly. As a passenger.
- Todays List: Star Trek TNG, where are they now?
