All it took for the Cubs to get back on their feet was a visit from a team worse than the Phillies, Mets and Reds. So we’d all like to send a big thank you down to our pals in St. Louis. The ones who are going to watch a 100 win team lose in the first round of the playoffs this year.
The Cubs are in an interesting position right now. They are 6.5 games out of the wild card race and the Astros are doing what we all knew they’d do. They’re cooling off. Unlike last year when their ludicrous playoff run was fueled by the insanely hot finishes to the season by Carlos Beltran and Lance Berkman, the Astros are a little light in the offense.
So if the Cubs could go into Houston and sweep this three game series, they could, theoretically pull to within 3.5 games with five weeks to go. Of course, one of the reasons the Cubs’ playoff hopes are hooked up like Terry Shiavo is because they have five teams in front of them meaning that it’s not just enough for the Astros to lose, so does a full third of the National League.
That said, it was fun to watch the Cubs smack the Cardinals around this past weekend. That’s always fun.
Cardinals’ apologists will point to the fact that Reggie Sanders, Larry Walker and Yadier Molina will all be back. That’s great. I’m sure Reggie will play as well as any 37 year old with a broken leg can. (Not very). As for Walker, what you fail to realize is that his season is actually spent on the disabled list, he just comes off it occasionally to prep for his next injury. And Molina? I’m sure the Cardinals miss him. Who wouldn’t miss a guy who tries to start fights with guys after they hit homers?
The guy the Cardinals’ really miss is Scott Rolen, and you can’t blame them. When healthy (which might be completely in the past, now) he’s a great player. His return is doubtful, and even if he does come back, there’s no guarantee he’ll be healthy enough to actually produce. If he played for anybody but the Cardinals, the premature demise of his career due to a degenerative shoulder condition would be tragic. Instead, it’s just pretty darn funny.
The most interesting thing about the Cubs three wins this weekend had to be the performance of Kerry Wood out of the bullpen. He pitched three innings in the series and was (to use an overused word that applies 100 percent here) electric.
If you’re the Cubs and you want Kerry Wood to become the star that everybody thought he was going to be seven years ago, you can make it happen. Forget about Ryan Dempster, make Kerry Wood your closer.
The relief pitching version of Kerry Wood is a special player. He’s Brad Lidge with an even better slider, he’s a righthanded Billy Wagner. He hit 98 or higher on the gun almost 20 times in three innings this weekend. He threw John Rodriguez three sliders that were completely unfair, if not illegal.
And the reason you knew he ought to be the guy at the end came when they took him out. You felt like the Cubs had done the Cardinals a favor. Ryan Dempster’s done a good job and he’s made himself a lot of money with his closing performances this season, but you knew the Cardinals were happy to see Kerry leave that game.
If the Cubs were smart (and they’re not), they’d bring Dempster back AND make Wood the closer for 2006. People will cry that they’d be spending too much money on the bullpen and my reply would be that the bullpen’s ineptitude the last three years is the number one reason why these Cubs have pissed away their seasons. Besides, Wood’s injury history is just a tad bit better than Rex Grossman’s, so if you give him the job, you’re going to need a capable backup.
Why not move Kerry back to the rotation next year after he’s had his shoulder surgery? Well, you can, but do you really want to? Wood’s starting career has been flashes of dominance surrounded by frustration. You’re paying him like he’s one of the best pitchers in baseball, why not put him in a role where he can be just that?
Sure, he’s going to have an appearance or three where he has trouble finding the strike zone. He looked to be headed that way in the eighth last night when he was way off in a walk to the great Abe Nunez, but Hank White jogged out, had a conversation with him and Kerry’s control came back.
When he’s in the bullpen he can use his two least hittable pitches. The fastball and the slider. And because he’s only going an inning or two he can let it all hang out. The prospect of being a hitter facing Kerry when he’s throwing as hard as he wants to on every pitch can’t be comforting.
Dennis Eckersley is the standard by which closers-turned-starters are measured by. Eck was a full-time starter for 11 seasons before moving to the bullpen and he had more success in those 11 years than Wood has had so far in his career. He won 37 games between 1978 and 1978 and won at least 13 games eight times. But the move to the bullpen made him a superstar and a Hall of Famer.
Say the Cubs made Wood a full-time closer next year and signed Dempster, paid him what they were going to pay him if he came back to close and paired them at the end of the bullpen. How many times do you watch games and the announcers are talking about how many times the closer has worked recently and if he’ll be available? Doesn’t it make sense to have two if you can find them?
It’s easy for us to say, it’s not our money. But if there ever was a team that should think about overstocking a bullpen, it’s the Cubs.
Think about it. Say you’re playing the Cardinals late next season and have a one-run lead in the seventh. You think to yourself, it’d be nice if we could just bring Wood in right here. Do it. Bring him in. Dempster can close the next couple of days, so stretch Kerry out. If you score a few runs in the seventh or eighth, you can use Dempster to close that day and save Kerry some pitches.
It’s just crazy enough to work. Too bad the Cubs’ aren’t.

Intrepid reader Kevin Kaduk sent this photo from just outside of Murphy’s on Saturday.
I’ll let you in on a n0t-so-dirty little secret. The Cubs already know who is going to play shortstop for them next year, and no, you can rest easy, it’s not Neifi. It’s also not Ronny Cedeno. No, it’s Nomar.
Nomar wants to stay, and unless he gets hurt again (which, is always a possibility) he’s going to get to come back and try his current contract one more time. It makes sense. The Cubs have the money (they could probably find $8 million lying around in an old shoebox someplace in the Tower), and Nomar needs to prove he can play a full season at shortstop (something he hasn’t done since 2003) or he’s going to be relegated to DH duty for whatever’s left of his career.
Since his return he’s hitting .344 with an on base average of .382 and is slugging .469. If you throw out the first couple of games when he couldn’t get the ball out of the infield, it goes to .360/.385/.520.
He’s also played more than we thought he would. He’s started seven of the last eight games and played a day game after a night game with no ill-effects.
A lot can change, of course, and with the Cubs it always does. But if Nomar finishes relatively strong, he’ll be back. It would be nice to see a full season of him. But who knows is that will ever happen again?
—————–
I enjoy piling on Jerry Angelo as much as the next guy. This is a guy who couldn’t remember to check boxes on contract offers and lost guys for nothing. But I’m not going to jump all over him for not having a veteran back-up for Rex Grossman.
But only because of the quality of the potential backups he had to choose from. Honestly, is Jeff Blake (who the Bears signed yesterday) any different than any of the guys who were on the market in the offseason? Kurt Warner wanted to start, Jay Fiedler sucks, etc., etc., etc.
I don’t expect great things out of Chad Hutchinson, but I also don’t expect tragedy. For one, the Bears’ offense is much better equipped to handle an average to below average quarterback than it was any of the last eight seasons. Here’s why. There’s an actual offense.
Under the brilliant direction of Gary Crowton, John Shoop and Terry Shea there was more theory than offense. Crowton wanted to spread the field and throw incompletions all day. Shoop wanted to throw six yard passes on third and 11. Shea wanted to…Lord only knows what he wanted.
I will give Angelo credit for improving the offense around whoever his quarterback is. The offensive line is much improved (though it would have been hard for that disaster to not be better than last year), he’s got at least one real receiver and if Cedric Benson ever signs, he’s got two running backs.
And, last I checked the Bears still had that defense. Oh, that defense. What a thing of beauty it was in the first half on Friday. How many times did the Bears disguise their zone defense to the point that Mark Bulger thought he was throwing to an open receiver near the sidelines, only to have a cornerback drop back and break up the play? How many times did Bulger feel the pass rush and have no where to escape to because he had Bears’ defensive ends boring down on him and no where to step up because Tommie Harris and Tank Johnson were busy throwing their offensive linemen into his lap?
The “overrated” Brian Urlacher is the key to the defense. If he stays healthy and dominates like we’re pretty sure he can, the Bears are going to be tough to score on. So, no matter who plays quarterback they’ve got a chance.
I seem to think the Sox are gonna get Griffey, and that the Reds will pick up all of his salary. I’m an idiot.
The “failed checked boxes thing” was my fault.
Cubbie faithful, I’ll take my beating like a man. Or a man named “Kelly.” Whatever.
I enjoyed that series, free from the dickishness that surrounded the 2003 and 2004 “tilts.” This one actually involved some interesting games, save for the ass-whupping from Thursday. For what it’s worth, because I’m hardly a baseball sage, I feel a lot better about StL’s October permanence this year, mainly because of the Rodriguez/Mabry/Nunez group that the cable morans couldn’t stop fawning over this weekend. The one thing that does worry me is, of course, The Genius — who seems intent on getting Carpenter the Cy Young even if it means his arm falls off on Labor Day.
Would have been nice to see this team play like this from the outset, so I wouldn’t have to sit through a playoff with the bleached-tip crew from Houston.
Anyway, to save you the trouble:
I molest collies, my trailer has fleas, Jerry Reed rules, and all that.
Is Khalil hurt? Noooooo………I sure hope it is somewhere above the waist.
Cardinals Apologists will be on vacation beginning June 1 and returning October 1 when meaningful games resume. Thank you for your inquiry.
So where’s the link for a picture of Lefty’s wife, assbag??
Kelly,
You forgot “you make the best meth in your trailer park”
Meth’s too expensive, we just put a magnifying glass between our eyes and the sun and hold it ‘der til’ we get all loopy.
Whoa there #7, let’s not say things we can’t take back.
That’s a great picture of those two fags getting cuffed outside of Murphy’s. Looks like Juan Epstien (#08) either has a nice wig or he should’ve used the $14 he spent on that sweet T-shirt and got a hair cut before he rolled up I-57 in his Volare. And that is a sewwt-ass sweatband on his right arm.
How you pretend to dry hump another mang, mang? I dry hump Jay or I dry hump another Venezualen (expletive) then I really dry hump them, mang. Dry hump is pretend (expletive) so you can’t pretend dry hump another mang, you just walk up heem and dry hump him, mang! Then you really got a big (expletive) prollem cuz I dry hump you to death!
Dave B’s right. Those guys are fags!
Yer all a bunch o queers.
I may be the Cubs first choice at shortstop next year. If the cubs don’t like my price tag (which they probably wont), then they’ll turn to Nomar. Ha! Nomar is plan B.
Holy crap, there is just too much optimism in today’s dose for my liking.
How can I justify feeling and being miserable with type of asshole-sphincter-rainbow spewing bullshit?
I simply don’t belong here.
Remember to always think small about future player acquisitions.
Hey, can I play quarterback. I’ve played fairly well thus far….
Cubs don’t face Clemens in Houston, sweep the 3 game series.
Cubs on a roll in Colorado, sweep the rockies for their 7th straight win.
Cubs 1.5 games out of the Wild Card, after their series in Colorado.
Hey Kyle, it’s preseason. Shut your stupid mouth.
Dolan,
I’d hold up on jacking Kerry Wood off. This guy has been one of the biggest if not the most disappointing player in Cubs history. Yes, he’s done good out of the bullpen here lately. Nobody can justify paying this sad bastard 15 million even to be the closer though.
But the Cubs are notorious for being one of the dumbest organzations around and they will try to have Kerry Wood in that starting rotation next year. Does it make sense? Hell no it doesn’t! The Cubs will be bitching and moaning again about how their bullpen sucks. If you’re going to pay this piece of shit a load of money, at least use him right.
Mark my words though, Kerry Wood will puss out on us once again.
Baker and Wood Basher
Damn, I need a drink…now, where’s my car keys?
I think you meant starter-turned-closer
During Sunday night’s ESPN game Joe Morgan explained that Poohole was going to be the MVP because of his team attitude. Poohole explained that he just wanted to help his team “wing”. I agree. Any first baseman who can levititate 24 other guys deserves to be MVP.
Duh!
With $30-40 million to spend in the off-season, here’s a look at what’s available in the free agent market this winter:
1B: Konerko, Millar, Durazo, Hatteberg
2B: Biggio, B. Boone,
SS: Furcal, Nomar, A. Gonzalez (FL)
C: Piazza, R. Hernandez, B. Molina, Ausmus
3B: Mueller
OF: Matsui, Damon, Sosa, P. Wilson, M. Bradley, J, Jones, B. Giles, L. Walker
SP: Burnett, Matty Mo, Weaver, Washburn, Armas
Closer: Wagner, Hoffman Dotel, B.J. Ryan
I would guess that re-signing Walker, Nomar, and perhaps Lawton might be the best option. Wagner and Ryan will likely be pursued.
I said on Saturday that Jose F Macias was a tough out because he was hitting .290. I also said continuously that dusty baker was an aggressive manager. I should of said I am dumber than donkey balls.
That is an insult to us dammit. We are far smarter than that dumbass.
Dear Andy,
First-time/long-time here.
If I pitch a great game, does that mean I’ll get a Papa John’s sent to my room like you did for Jimmy Anderson? I mean, I am a portly left-hander, after all. It’s only fair.
I’ll hang up and listen to your answer.
Thanks,
G-Unit
I, only and by myself, am a good enough reason to pay Mr. Kerry Wood what he’s making.
I am one of the top 10 thrills in Cub History.
Care to trade for me?
Between 1978 and 1978. Damn! That’s a lot of games in one year. I hope he won the Cy Young that year.
Keep perpetuating that myth, #29.
Maybe a picture of us can go up at the top of the screen now?
Not only do I not know who is who on the field (those numbers aren’t a big enough clue), when I finally do figure out who is who, I can’t pronounce their stupid names. I’m going to just start calling every player “Smith.”
Hey Dave B – I’ll be a free agent and I play 2B. Not very well, but it is my current position.
I wasn’t a Myth…..
http://www.chron.com/content/chronicle/sports/bb/98/05/07/lede.html
We doubt that will happen number 18
Oh, Myth, will you take this man’s order?
I only win the damn game for you female doges last night and dees da treatment I get? What’s a gremlin gotta do to get some respek?
Here’s a shot of the golf bags Amy Mickleson carries on the course
Actually, Alfonso, you’re simply up for a big raise in arbitration this year, that’s why Texas wanted to dump you.
I like it when Phil takes me out to dinner, and then eats my entire meal too. His money is…I mean HE is so cute.
In all fairness, the Gremlin’s lack of OBP shouldn’t disqualify him from being a pinch-hitter. In fact, with his high BA and low OBP, pinch-hitting’s about the only thing he should be doing. He’s better than Lenny Harris was in ’03, and I wasn;t terriblu surprised to see him knock one through the box last night.
Starting him 1-2 times a week, however, is what invites derision from most people.
And starting him 3 days in a row in centerfield–as Dustbag did at Shea– ought to be grounds for execution.
I deserve to get pegged between the eyes for hitting that Grand slam off of Mary Prior, who summarily wilted down quicker than you can say “Matt Clement”
Was there going to be a part where Wood is compared favorably, or in any way whatsoever, with Eckersley? Eck having more success as a starter didn’t really bridge the gap between Kerry’s 6-inning, 4-walk relief work and his sudden presumed superstardom.
Did you enjoy my 1/3 of an inning while I was back?
…dictates that we overanalyze everything the Cubs do. The sucky truth is that they suck for two weeks and really play well for another. That’s not very good. So, by reason of deduction, the Cubs are not very good.
However, Rationale also dictates that with the talent possessed by this club, we should be in first place. The Cardinals…I mean Satan’s Minions…have lost 2/3 of their outfield and their all-world, however vaginized, thirdbaseman. There is no reason for the Cubs to be lagging this far behind in the division, let alone the Wild Card race–no matter how much sand ends up in Kerry Wood’s uterus.
…also dictates that Amy Mickleson is moderately hot.
I promise to throw strikes…
There’s nothing like a tender groin…
…I meant loin…oh, crap.
I have a short porch in left. Why am I sensing the names Aramis and Anthony Nomar?
Yep, that’s right, it’s me. What am I donig here? I don’t know.
First off, I did a lovely job typing the Dose, didn’t I? A syphillitic monkey could have done a better job with the paragraph on the Eck than I did.
Secondly, I won’t put a photo of the Blackhawks up because that would infer I was going to write about hockey and since I’m not, I won’t further agitate the 19 hockey fans left in North America by pretending they’ll get something they won’t.
And no, I have no confirmation that Jimmy Anderson ever got the pizza I sent him last year, but I do have confirmation that Papa John’s billed me for it.
Raise your hand if you’re tired of this schtick…..
Baker Basher Basher
Andy, you meant “imply” where you said “infer”. You imply when you’re the speaker or writer. You infer when you’re the listener or reader.
And with that, I’m off to Grammar Nuremberg. Sieg heil!
Andy, the Cubs can’t pull to within 3.5 games of the wild-card lead with a sweep of Houston. The Phillies (0.5 behind Houston) and the Nats (1 behind Houston) are squaring off tonight in the first game of a four-game set. If the Cubs sweep the Astros, then Houston will trail either Philly or Washington — or even possibly both — by the end of the Cubs/Astros series.
The best that the Cubs could find themselves after the series in Houston is 4.5 games behind new WC-leader Washington, like so:
WAS 64-56 —
PHI 64-57 1/2
HOU 63-57 1
CUBS 60-61 4 1/2
woo woo the cubs may loose woo woo
but tavarez and the genius blow woo woo
and joe morgan too woo woo
The Cubs will not sweep the Astros anyway.
Yes Roy, you are correct, but you are still me.
FEAR MY OPPOSITE FIELD POWER
Wow, I actually hit the ball!
has been thrown into the left field bleachers at minute maid
I can still run, at least.
I need to start everyday, screw Burnie
Can a man get an FYC?
I won’t last six innings today.
Todd Wellemeyer + Bases Loaded + Minute Maid Park = Oh No
I always told him he was a wuss.
Did someone say KFC?
I run faster to first than Aramis.
My son could have learned to walk at a very young age, but he didn’t feel like getting off of his butt until age 7.
We are fung!
Damn, Wellemeyer’s going to steal my job.
I watched that homerun like a pro…you know, someone that has hit more than 3 of them in my career.
Hey, Dusty, when your pitcher gives up two homers (within three AB’s), walks the pitcher, and gives up a hit on the next pitch, and the #2 slot is up, you take him out you fool.
How many runs need to score without a recorded out before you even visit the mound?
Three, of course. Then I waste more of da bullpen, man. Ya dig?
And I’m the one they sent to Iowa?
Say, did someone on Desipio say the other day that Dusty Baker Rifle Scope Night is coming up soon at Wrigley?
Playoffs here we come!!!…oh wait, that’s the Astros, whoops. We suck.
I’m…I’m just not any good.
And you get free ammo with every two beers purchased.
It’s a good thing we can’t hit, right?
Pat Hughes just gave the AAA Insurance, “if the Cubs score some insurance runs tonight …” promo.
We hereby give him our Loyal Employee Of The Year Award. No other nominations will be accepted.
Wait a minute, we’re supposed to keep people OFF the bases? Doh!
Will somebody please fire Dusty Baker.
ZZZZZZ…..
“Dolan,
I’d hold up on jacking Kerry Wood off….
Baker and Wood Basher”
Now I why tigers eat their young.
I swear she said she was 18. And I’m a Brave now. Oh… Tigers… yeah.
what the hells that supposed to mean
Thanks for the rest of the day off!
Hey, my name’s gonna be in the paper!
Wow, that ball went far. Is a double digit ERA bad?
Man we love it when that thar Basher dude be talking about jacking dongs and Kerry Wood’s mom sucking him off. That shite be madd funny! Let our hero be!
I like my bullpen. We’re gonna start winning, because we keep making the other team clog the bases!
Broken News cubs fans
Sources indicate the Cubs season is over, so shut up trying to make people believe. We can still waste time talking about them and being sad and cynical for the rest of the season. So, really, all is well. I love you.
Hoops
Hi, Cubs fans and Glenview residents!
Even though I terrorized the streets of Glenview Friday night (with my daughters in my brand new H3 as I swerved around Waukegan Road), let me remind you that I was not drunk. I was just all viked up!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
You guys gave up 12 to the Astros? Bwahahaha!
Wait, so I was only supposed to take 2 pills every 4-6 hours. I read it wrong, I took 24 pills every 6 hours…honest mistake, fun mistake, but an honest one.
Just think of last night’s drubbing as me. We didn’t want you thinking we were going to really play out the last month and a half just because the Cards took a fall 3 out of 4. We really do plan on stinking up the joint for the remaining 6 weeks. Do not get your hopes up.
After our HOT start we’re 12-13 in our last 25 games.
We are going to provide some fun and laughs for Cubs fans when we continue to stumble and crumble the rest of the way.
ENJOY!
Nobody here thought you were gonna go deep into the playoffs anyway. You are just starting your slide a little later than expected.
But, i was gonna hit .320 with 120 stolen bases, and 200 hits.
We ignore our own pathetic team to rip the playoff-bound, first-place AL Central team? A new low. When things don’t work inward, I guess we look outward…
When a fan from the self proclaimed “playoff-bound, first-place AL Central team” goes to browse, spend time and post on a website dedicated to his team’s crosstown rival…simply pathetic.
No, I am not a Sox fan; I am a Cubs fan. Hence, the word “we” and “our” when talking about the Cubs. I come here for Cubs talk, not to sit and rip the White Sux over and over.
Wheeee!!!! I also respect the Cardinals and their fans. I have a Believe bracelet and I love NSBB. Lets never say a bad thing about anyone, life is perfect. The Sox are built for post season dominance. It’s not like the Red Sox, Angles, or A’s would kick their asses or anything. Sox fans didn’t rip the Cubs and come to sites like this and talk shit in 2003…oh wait, yes they did. Fuck me, I am part of what’s wrong with a lot of Cubs fans, I sit there and take it on the chin.
Hey, where’s the Dose for today?
My reading comprehension skills are sorely lacking. Buy me a clue, mommy!
No matter how bad things get with the Chicago National League Baseball Club — and right now they’re pretty damned bad — the only thing that can make them worse is when we deign to acknowledge the existence of that off-brand team over on the off-brand side of town.
Alas, some of us keep forgetting that, because some of us just aren’t very bright.
There might be some Cub “fans” like 108 who feel the need to try to defend us but…our name says it all.
Thanks 108, see you on the south side, you would typically jump on our bandwagon sometime next month, but by your posts we can tell that you already have.
Where’s the booze? Hey, up yours, Cub fans!! Check out my new Hummer!!
112 you no fung, mang
We need to take our holier than thou attitudes and go away. “Buy me a clue, mommy!”. Very funny…if you’re six years old. Go pay 50 bucks over at NSBB, you fucking tools.
Well…I li to swin de bat as a teang. Joe Morgang alway say it ’bout teang, mang. Y’all smell that?
I speak for all Cubs fans? That can’t be good, no wonder we’re a laughing stock.
Fire Dusty….Hire Pinella
Yeah, mang…NSBB, mang.
I no want keedee touch homos like #112 on my bandwagon mang. Bandwagon is for fung, not for fag.
Pinella, mang…
I drive dees ship to da seeries. You come wid me, you see fung times, mang. I tell you all, I see you at the cell een october.
Yeah, mang…the cell een oktoba, mang.
… and thus #113 joins #109 in the Cubs Fans Who Can’t Read Club. How he makes the cognitive leap that a self-identified Cubs fan’s not wanting to talk about the White Sox on a Cubs site somehow makes said Cubs fan a White Sox fan — in spite of the fact that the guy called them “the White Sux” — is truly a marvel of America’s education system gone awry.
Albert Pujols is such a team player, that one time, he pooped on Jim Edmonds’ chest. Just because Jim asked him to. Now that is a team player.
Hey…
Why haven’t I gone away yet?
Dat’z why dey call me “Poohole,” mang. It’s li itz a teang gang bang…mang.
I’m the Joke Police, and I’m back! I’m kicking ass and taking names!

Do it right, mang.
I decided to take a day off today.
Hey, guys…what happened to G-Unit last night. I thought he would come back strong. I guess too many doughnuts will do that to you.
“Well, with DK gone, Albie really stepped up and took control of the clubhouse. He dumped on my stomach just the other day, and braids Matt Morris’ hair while snapping his balls with a rubber band. It’s really a great thing to see, he should win the MVP for sure.”
Other people here have told “Ronnie” that he’s screwing up the Wickers routine. He ignores it. The guy’s relentless.
Maybe if you speak louder and slower …
Tank you, Jing…I really decide do tak da teang under my wing and rung wit it. It’s a teang gang, mang. Joe Morgang know wha I talking abouw…

Where is he? I’ll kick his ass (extends middle finger).
Man, I am jonesin’ for a vic, or a perc, or just about anything right now.
You guys got a secret handshake too? Is it like the AV club? Okay lets all type notes to one another and here’s the cool part, we’ll all agree! You talk like Ozzie, I’ll talk like Pujols, Leonard you talk like Ronnie Woo Woo…. Oh God I just came

that mr. morgan b-l-o-w-s too woo woo
The real Ronnie Woo Woo does look the type to screw up his own gag if forced to actually “articulate” it by writing it down. Perhaps he has an agent, to whom he dictates it and she’s so blown away on smack she can’t even get it down the way she hears it. It could be. Would it really shock you to know that Ronnie posted at Desipio? Yeah, me too.
You forgot the joke police, you gimmick killing retard.
Go back in the archives to a time when the Cubs were GOOD. September of ’03 works for me. Read an old Dose, any Dose. Think of a time when you didn’t hate your life. It’s cathartic. Sometimes there are pics of hot babes hidden in there too and you could rub one out if you wanted. It’s “fung mang.”

Mang
I took the advice from 164 and found a dose from April of 2003. Ah, good times! Corey Rhodes, Kerry “by God” Wood, no Baker Bashing, Shock and Awe…
And this line from Aril Fools Day 2003:
“I thinks it’s pretty apparent that some day soon, Juan Cruz is the Cubs’ closer.”
I remember thinking the exact same thing. They never should’ve traded that guy, I tell you. He should be Hendry’s No. 1 free agent priority next winter, provided he is a free agent, and that he’s still in baseball.
The above is an especially enjoyable Gamecast
…now also #160, too. Dickweed.
