Well, Michael Barrett over the weekend sucker punched AJ Pierzynski in the face, uniting the whole Cubs team and completely turning our season around. Right? Not so much. It was an overreaction on Barrett’s part, and he should clearly be suspended, thereby removing one of the only solid hitters on the Cubs and replacing him …

My dad once told me “I’m sorry I raised you as a Chicago sports fan.” Though I’ve understood more and more as the years go by that he really did owe me an apology, it hasn’t stopped my love of sports. This section of my site is dedicated to my random sports thoughts. Please comment, agree, disagree, mock as much as you’d like.
I Knew It!!
Would only be a matter of time before we got to hear the Cubs management or press say “We’re not out of it yet, just look at what happened with the Astros last year.” This time it was Carrie Muskat who said it. I used to really like Carrie, but she has totally turned into …
The D-Lee Effect
Well, we knew it would catch up to us at some point, but the Cubs are officially feeling the effect of losing Derrek Lee, and it already looks and feels like the season’s over. So here’s my collection of current Cubs thoughts: – Jacque Jones is a waste of time. Why does he have a …
The Draft
Well, I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for the NFL Draft. And this is even a draft where the Bears are not going to do the slightest interesting thing, and I’m still excited. My tivo’s all setup to record the first two hours, and then probably from there I just want …
Cubs Onion Article
Dusty Baker Not Worried About Cubs Hot Start How true, how true. Let’s hope they don’t get back to form too soon.
Tourney Finals
So I know you’ve all been dying to know who won the friendly bracket competition between Jonathan, Andrew, and I. Well here’s the finals (1 point for each game winner predicted correctly): Andrew: 37 Morgan: 34 Jonathan: 33 Well done Andrew. You get the mythical Morgan’s Blog Tourney Challenge Trophy. Mythical in that it doesn’t …
Opening Day 2006
So two things began today. I began the Body for Life diet, and the Cubs begin the 2006 season. Let’s hope both go well. I actually got up this morning at 5:10am and worked out. It wasn’t easy I won’t lie, but the feeling of doing that, and then you have the rest of the …
Harrington a Bear?
I just want to say this real quick, so that you all know that I called this before it happens. When the Lions picked up McCown on Thursday, I immediately had the thought “Oh no, the Lions are going to cut Harrington and the Bears are going to pick him up.” It’s going to happen. …
The Tourney Begins
… and I couldn’t be more excited. I may have mentioned this last year, but it especially occurred to me last year that March Madness really is the greatest sporting event to watch. It really is. It has more action than 24 and more drama than any courtroom show out there, and so much pride …
Quick Bears Thought
Jerry Angelo, get off your ass!!! You’ve already lost Randle-El and Archuleta to the Redskins because they flashed a little more money. Surprise Surprise, athletes are selfish and like money. We’ve got plenty of it. Get it done. I know you’re paid to say that you’re fine with the team the way it is, but …
