Let the Man Sing!!!

I am so sick of this stupid "Win a Chance to Sing the Seventh Inning Stretch" contest. Did you hear Santo sing tonight? I'm voting for him. As a child I remember seeing a crazy old man leading us in song at the ballpark. Everyone in the stadium seemed to like it. Harry became so synonymous with the 7th inning, even Will Farrell poked fun at the guy on SNL. Why not let Santo carry on this tradition? He propelled us back to victory tonight!

1.0 game up on the Beer Makers. Magic Number 13

BEAR DOWN!!!

Ah, football season is upon us. A few talking points before gametime...

1) Will Leon Joe be the impact player we expect him to be? Is he the answer if Urlacher or Briggs go down? Do you know who I'm talking about? I don't know why I get a kick out of seeing "Joe" on the back of someone's jersey. Not since "He Hate Me" has a jersey given me that much joy. Ok, "THE RIOT" pleases me as well, but we are talking football, damnit!

2) Were you aware that MC Gould has Mike Control?

3) This guy is really our QB?



4) Is he good? I hope not.

Why Do We Have Jacque Jones in Center and Not Juan Pierre?

"Cubs, this is 1976 Ziggy Stardust Bowie. Stop losing, Cubs."

Eye of the Tiger...

Sure a season has it's ups and downs, and this is to be expected. Hell, Cubs lost 74 games in 2003 and that was a good year! However on this date in 2003, the Cubs won 7-6 over the Cardinals to take 4 out of 5 that series. The then jumped on a bus and swept the Brewers. To quote the Beach Boys, Wouldn't It Be Nice?

How does Lou fix this mess?

1) It is time for a vintage Sweet Uncle Lou Tirade! Worked last time Zambrano went crazy, right?

2) The Riot's glorious return to the lead-off spot. If all Soriano can do is strike out and hit home runs, he is Sammy! Bat him 5th. However, Sammy would give up his boom-box for Soriano's Hand-Cannon.

3) Cut Will Ohman. How will that help you ask? Don't have a good rebuttal, just cut Will Ohman.

4) Wait, was that Steve Trachsel pitching tonight? Who else does Hendry have up his sleeve? My money is on Gary Gaetti or Felix Heredia

At least the Bears don't have to go up against the best player in football this week, because that would suck.
