This will be fun...

Should we start a pool and pick a date for when he inevitably blows up and says something to the affect of "Fuck those fuckin' fans who come out here and say they're Cub fans that are supposed to be behind you, rippin' every fuckin' thing you do. I'll tell you one fuckin' thing, I hope we get fuckin' hotter than shit, just to stuff it up them 40,000 fuckin' people that show up every fuckin' day, because if they're the real Chicago fuckin' fans, they can kiss my fuckin' ass right downtown and PRINT IT! They're really, really behind you around here...my fuckin' ass."

ESPN reports that the Cubs and Milton Bradley have agreed to terms on a three-year, $30 million contract. That was the expected amount, but it still looks like a pretty poor deal for the Cubs, especially with Pat Burrell signing for $16 million over two years on the same day. Bradley may or may not still be an above average defensive outfielder. What we can be relatively certain of is that he won't be a healthy one for long. Bradley has played in 130 games just once in his career. He's an underrated star when he's on the field, but he's not worth a $30 million commitment.

In unrelated news: Fants kill another player. This one lasted one at bat. He replaced Willy Tavares, who broke his leg before even appearing. Considering whether to next end Rajai Davis's career, or Josh Anderson's .

PITTSBUGH'S NYJER MORGAN LEFT THE GAME IN THE TOP OF THE FIRST INNING DUE TO AN APPARENT RIGHT HAMSTRING INJURY.

more Olympics shenanigans

News Item: "Extra innings will have a new look in what could be baseball's last Olympic appearance. Each team's at-bat in the 11th inning and beyond will begin with runners on first and second base. Teams may start the 11th at any point in their batting order. . . ."

Or put it another way: The game of baseball has already had its last Olympic appearance.

nice try @ss#ole

Among the many insane things said here, the craziest is always when Dumbya talks about "respecting life":

"...how to have a culture that respects the dignity of every human being."

By every, of course, he only means rich phokks who might give him some money. How about those children not getting health care through S-CHIP? How's their dignity, Mr. President? Oh yeah, FUCK YOU, KIDS! The soldiers in Iraq? the veterans back home? FUCK YOU, too, suckers! The thousands of dead Iraqis? FUCK YOU--they don't even count as human beings, everybody knows dat. ETC. Well, i can't wait to see Mr. FUCKFACE on the campaign trail trying to scare up votes (literally) for McCryptkeeper...

No fair peeking.

So... New England wins another game they should have lost?

Yawn.

Add 18-0 football teams to the list of things that ain't what they used to be.

Tom Brady? They won despite "Mr. Interception" today. They're always covering for this guy. But what do you expect from a 2nd stringer from Michigan?

And i have to root for the Giants now? Fuck that - i'm going to go to a movie or sumfting. Man alive, Green Bay SUCKS. Two losses to the Bears and now this? That's one shitty season right there.

"wryly humorous"...i bet
