Derrek Lee Total Sploogefest Love-a-Thon Thread

He's also given Wood shit for his public urination arrest.  Mariotti was waxing his bullshit about the poor judgment shown or something.  Good lord, there's no "crime" less serious than public urination.

When did Wood get popped for public urination?

The "I can't stop now, I have to finish" line is absolute gold...

"I can't stop.  I have to finish.  What's the fine?"

I wonder if Rob Goldman was there, listening.

What is it with Mariotti's obsession about men being naked?  More than once he has brought up Dempster having streaked down Lincoln Avenue in the offseason.  Not only does nobody give a flying f@#$, but it has nothing to do with his pitching and, last I checked, Mariotti's paid to cover sports.  And now he pens 1,000 words so that he can wax nostalgic about Lee the Elder flashing his wang.

Well, I don't know how Jay Mariotti's "fetish" ranks with that of former managing editor Michael Cooke:

When that's been brought up in interviews, Wood says he likes refer to it as his first relief appearance.

At what point does Derrek call the rest of these fuckers out?

Did you see the shot of him sitting on the bench next to Jerry the Lesser after his home run?  Between him, Prior and Lawnmower, they'd be justified in kicking some teammate ass...

They cut back to them a few times, and Jerry just kept moving closer and closer to Derrek. It was a little weird. His non-suck is not going to physically rub off on you, dude.

[Shooter]

Just sick.

I'm amazed that he's not getting the Barry Bonds treatment in this lineup.

Dumbass du jour has to be Lloyd McClendon.  After Perez's bunt, I walked away thinking IBB.  It's a no-brainer.  This is the second game this year when a manager decided not to walk him with the tying run in scoring position in the ninth.  This is also the second time he won it on a homerun in that situation.  We're not talking brain-surgey.  The Cubs, other than Lee, are a baaaad team.  Lee has single-handedly carried the team to mediocrity.

Bingo.  I told the five year old, "Watch.  Bunt, walk, Burnitz GIPD or K, then A-Ram K."

Instead, he got a high five and Ice Cream.
