Lay off the Irony Pills


Cubs.com has a knack for putting the most ironic stories/pictures possible in their headlines. So was it a shock that today, the day after Ronny Cedeno has what is possibly the Single Worst At Bat by a Major League Baseball Player in the History of the Game Going Back to Abner Fucking Doubleday, is it at all surprising that this is the headline?

As someone privy to the inner workings of the editorial staff at Cubs.com (read: not privy to anything at all), I was able to find out which headlines were actually intended for this morning's cubs.com front page. Among them:

Eric Patterson Adjusting Quickly to Demands of Left Field

Henry Blanco: Superclutch

Murton Fast Becoming Best Pinch Hitting Option

The Daryle Ward Diet Newest Fad in Hollywood

Sean Marshall: Everything Zambrano is, and He's a Lefty!

DeRosa and Wife Very Happy; Reportedly States He "Would Never Publicly Grope a Nineteen Year Old Country Singer"

Wuertz Unflappable When Team Not Perfect Behind Him

Edmonds Not Working Out As Well As Hoped; Message Board Posters Right Again
Then again, maybe I'm just a little annoyed that they lost at home. It seems like forever since they won at Wrigley. What's the matter with this team?
