Brett Butler?

Wow. He looked like that? I'm getting old...

I'm intrigued by the woman in the bottom left corner.  Who is she and what is she doing there?

She's a lefty with pretty good slap hitter instincts. Brett Butler, without the patience. Dusty's dream.

Jay Bruce just hit another homer. Fuck.

Don't worry. The league's going to catch up to him eventually and he'll start to struggle. That's when Dusty will start working with him on his swing.

You can teach hitting, dude.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I actually own a copy of that book.  It was given to me when I was a little leaguer.  I guess that could explain why I never really made it to the show.

I sure hope that the "Foreword" by Billy Williams reads like this:

"Everything he says in here is Bullshit."

"Dusty is a good communicator?" Hank, what's he got on you?

Smart move.  Trying to hide the wedding ring so chicks think he's available.

Pff. He only has it on so chicks know he's willing to go all the way. I doubt there's a misses.

The Cubs keep trying out walkout music for Wood (Yesterday was "Welcome To The Jungle"). Wood has said he'd just as soon have the organist play.

Wood is bad-ass.

Maybe the organist could play "Welcome to the Jungle."

Did the Cubs really give that kid 10 mil?  He better have Cecil Fielder power, because he is a dumb mother fucker if he thinks he's going to waltz in here and be a .320 hitter with power.  Have a cup of humility, son.  Tell us you are going to work your ass off and bust some hymans, that's how you'll get my respek.

What did you expect?  A top draft pick thinks he's going to be great.  I'm shocked!  Let's get out the indignation!!!

I wish he would have said that he'd struggle in A ball, finally put it together and dominate AA and AAA only to flame out and never reach his potential posting a career line of 244/290/393 in 354 career at bats.

Honestly, can't you think of something better to complain about that the fact some super talented high school player thinks he's going to be great.  Isn't there a drama geek at your local high school that wants to be in a Scorsese film that you can go throw rotten fruit at?

My wife swears the drama kids in her High School weren't geeks.

Of course, she went to Ridgewood (NJ) High School - home of the Fighting Caucasians.

Drama kids were all big and fat and gross and they all fucked each other. So they did generally have a lot of sex. But consider who they were having sex with. Gross.

Man, a Hawkins vs. a Patterson.

That will always hurt the Cubs.

QuoteKid: A looper?

Carl Spackler: A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Sorry. It's early.

So, last night, the Cardinals were at 53 losses and the team with the fewest losses in their division had 48 losses.  Today, the Cards are at 53 losses and the team with the fewest losses in their division has 48 losses.

Where's the problem?

Yes, I fear Walt Jockety's ability to positive a team far more than I fear Jim Hendry's same ability.  And 5 games is a might closer than I'd prefer.

But without Carpenter and not much in the minors, how good can St. Louis really get?

Even *I* am happy right now.

We'd be crazy if we weren't waiting for the other shoe to drop; we're Cub fans after all.

That being said, there are a lot of things working in the Cubs favor that weren't the case in recent memory:

A rotation that's far better than the Cardinals.
A bullpen that's finally the equal of the Cardinals.
More offense than the Cardinals.
A better third baseman.
A couple of David Eckstein clones on the infield.
Quiet confidence.
A manager that doesn't build his lineup around Jose Macias and Neifi Perez.
Scrappiness in the late innings (see Friday night as an example)--this team never gives up.

Plus, with DeRosa...more fat chicks.
