Weekend Roundup: Dr. Suess Edition

Sorry for the delay in posts. With Marty busy ignoring baseball in France coupled with a 4 day weekend for me, the blog has suffered a bit. Have no fear, I have returned from a day of roller coasting at Six Flags ready to go.

Just for kicks, let's do this thing Dr. Seuss style.

The Brewers traded for Tubby,

A-Rod's been a bad hubby,

Rich Harden might be a Cubbie.

and Chris Snyder broke his nut.

Aramis's has another child,

Rich Hill finally wasn't wild,

Even this guy got a grievance filed,

and Joe Borowski got cut.

Go Cubs.

Weekend Roundup

A few notes from the weekend. Keeping it short, because, like the rest of the Cubs fans, I'm busy finding the tallest building I can jump off.

Aramis Ramirez will be out three games for "family matters." Damn you, Urkel.

A quick rundown on the players either injured and/or missing time on the team in the last 20 days:
Soriano
Zambrano
Johnson
Edmonds
Theriot
Ward
Ramirez
Fukudome
Eyre

In case you're having a hard time with the whole counting thing, that's 9 players on the 25 man roster. Its been a fun few weeks.

"Hey, let's leak some stories about how Rich Hill is 'improving' and maybe someone will take him off our hands."

Minor league umps, minor league calls.

Zambrano is apparently ready to go. Then again, if he was standing in front of you with his own severed right arm in his hands, he'd tell you he's ready to go.

Hopefully, the week of suck is over. Cubs are 4-8 in their last 12. In the words of Harry Doyle, "I guess we should be glad that at least nobody spiked themselves."

Weekend Roundup

According to Pat Hughes, today is the first day in the 13 years he has been the Cubs broadcaster that the Cubs have been more than 4 games ahead of the Cardinals. I have no idea if that's true, but...ugh.

Department of Redundancy Department: Joe Morgan=Asshat. And now, a liar too.

The Cubs are still trying to save face on the $10 million they gave to Szmardksfsdfdlkhdfliudfhlw. Despite a near 5 ERA at AA, he's George Jefferson.

The White Sox whine and bitch about Wrigley Field, and (possibly) call the stadium security to eject hecklers, and the Cubs say nothing and just beat their asses. Well, maybe they said a little bit.

Carlos Zambrano: Not Gay. And he'll prove it. On the mound. Or something.

Paul Sullivan needs to stop whining about players who don't suck up to him. Of the "Best/Worst of the weekend," Aramis Ramirez gets "best player," but every "worst" is a Cub, for no other reason than they don't give good quotes.

Carlos Marmol needs to adjust his release point. Just don't make the same "adjustments" Shane Falco made.

Speaking of everyone's favorite headcase, his start on Friday was nosogood. He's being sent to Mesa for a "mental break." In with the good air, out with the bad air...in with the good air, out with the bad air...
