That game was very much like sex with a Cub fan: quick, ugly, and rather unsatisfying.

This series could be a real shit-fest, with the White Sox losing 10 of their last 12 games, and the Astros losing 16 of their last 20. Other Suck Factors include Lance Berkman’s impending suspension for Returning to the Scene of the Crime, Carlos Lee’s lack of hustle when he goes anywhere except Waffle House, and the fact that Ozzie Guillen is still going batshit insane.

Daytime baseball, and Berkman not yet suspended. Sounds good to me. Little did I know.

Sorry, I suck. Just too much going on this morning to put together a proper recap, so I suggest you stroll through the GZ thread to get much more cogent analysis than I could provide even if I had all day to type.Read More

For starters, I suck. I typed this bad boy up on Monday night, but didn’t plan on posting it until Tuesday morning before heading off to the airport. Well, one thing led to another (we’re selling our house and buying a new one) and I didn’t post it before leaving. So I somehow managed to get upgraded to First Class on the flight so I finish up the preview, with full intentions of posting it when I got to the hotel (I’m in Ty’s territory, Brooksville, FL to be exact). Problem is I got on the phone dealing with the inspectors for the house we are buying back home and I lost track of time. So bottom line there isn’t a good story to go along with the tardiness. No DDs were involved. Just general ineptness.

In the wake of that douche bag from St. Louis getting all liquored up, smoking some weed, driving over the speed limit, while talking on the phone, not wearing the seatbelt and then killing himself, there’s been a lot of talk of clubs banning alcohol in the clubhouse. What a crock of shit. MLB sells itself to every beer company out there (Busch Stadium, Miller Park, and Coors Field) like a 3-dollar crack whore in the need of a quick fix. Its easy to picture Selig, walking around in a daze calling representatives from Shiner, Dixie and Pabst Blue Ribbon sayin “Come on, come on, I need a fix. I’ll suck yo’ dick…”
