Hey, hey. The Cubs won a ball game last night! Yay!!! They improved their record to (1-5) at San Diego this year (a last place team that traded away their top pitcher, while their second best pitcher, Chris Young, is out for the season due to injury). The White Sox came back after losing game 2 to the Royals (they probably should have lost game 1 as well to this particular last place team) and won yesterday at The Cell, taking two out of three in the series. So at least our two under-achieving baseball teams were on the winning side of the equation together for one day. We shall see if that continues tonight. My guess...it won't.
Don't you just love it when people act surprised about something negative that happens to someone who has a "checkered past" when EVERYONE knew that it was going to happen at some point simply because of that person's track record? There are many examples of this. I'm reading today that the Memphis college basketball team will have it's 38 win season and Final Four berth back in 2007-08 erased from the record books due to NCAA violations (Derrick Rose). Not only are the people of Memphis devastated/shocked with this news, the people of Kentucky, who just hired Coach Calipari, are scratching their heads as well. What??? You knew that that man was cheating at Memphis, but you sold your soul anyway and now you're going to have to deal with it! Not only did you know (University of Kentucky), the University of Memphis knew exactly what they were dealing with as well. You all remember Coach Cal's UMass team back in 1996 led by All-American Marcus Camby don't you? Their Final Four run has been erased from the record books as well (let's be honest, we ALL knew something was up when under any circumstance you can convince the top high school recruit in the country to come to the University of Massachusetts...not Duke, UNC, UCLA, UConn, etc....but UMass). I can't wait for the first round of sanctions that come down on the Wildcats. My guess, within three seasons. It's going to be great.
How about the Milton Bradley signing? I know that the subject has been beaten to death, but again...EVERYONE knew that this was a bad signing. EVERYONE knew that this guy was a bad teammate, and came with a ton of baggage. We also knew that he was coming off of a career year that would be extremely unlikely for him to duplicate, but instead of taking all of these facts into consideration and pursuing other avenues (Ibanez, Dunn, Abreu), Bradley's entire track record was completely IGNORED by Jim Hendry. Don't you dare tell me that we're losing because of the fact that some of our players (Milton Bradley) just aren't putting up the type of numbers that they were expected to put up. Just deal with your powerless .260 hitting right fielder who happens to make $10 million a season for the next three years just like the rest of us have to. We ALL saw this coming, where were you? Wow.
How about this example: Have you ever seen the show "Jon and Kate Plus 8?" If you haven't, you're not missing anything. The problem for me is that it happens to be my girlfriend's favorite show. Which basically means that it's my favorite show (even though I hate it...it's constantly on). It's kind of like what "Jules" says in "Pulp Fiction": "You ever tried a "Big Kahuna" burger? If you like burgers, give 'em a try sometime. I can't usually get 'em myself because my girlfriend's a vegetarian which pretty much makes me...a vegetarian." Well, my girlfriend loves "Jon and Kate Plus 8" which pretty much makes me love "Jon and Kate Plus 8." Anyway, 'ol Jon and Katey are getting a very public and messy divorce right now and are blaming the paparazzi and their lack of privacy, among other things, as the main reasons for the demise of their marriage. You can't be serious? First of all...the way I see it, they should be put in jail for taking fertility pills after they ALREADY had twins which of course, caused them to have six more babies...but that's beside the point. ANY parents that are sick enough to exploit their own children's childhoods by putting their faces on reality TV to make a few bucks, get EVERYTHING that they deserve. You sold your soul to the "TLC" channel, and it cost you your marriage. Deal with the decisions that you make. Everyone else has to, and EVERYONE else knew that ANYONE who puts their lives on television, ends up ruining their lives just as quickly as they take the money that comes with it. Quit your crying.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see how these kids end up turning out. I think that there's five girls and three boys in the bunch. What's the over/under on strippers that come out of this litter? It's like Chris Rock said, "A dad's #1 job is to keep his daughter OFF THE POLE!" Expose them to fame when they didn't do anything to deserve/desire it, and you're generally sending them right down the path of the wild/slutty/drug attic variety...probably NOT "off the pole" if you ask me.

Take care,
