OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

what about Gary Busey?  I think he pitched a season with the Cubs.  He got released when he was found molesting some little kid that threw like a girl or something.  What WAS that kids name?  That sure was a magical season...
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.

I sooo wanted to play my Bill Buckner card here, but he was actually good for us.

Tell me we didn't get this far without Delino DeShields?  If he got taken, that's two blunders in a row for me, in which case you can count me out.

He was taken.


Callison waited until he was odl and shitty to come to us.  Kind of like Jeromy Burnitz.

One would be tempted to toss off Hank White but that fucker is 3-for-3 on this, one of the darker days in Cub history. And there have been many dark days. Darker than Rolando Roomes' tookus on a moonless prairie night. For this team, there is no bottom.

OK, I had to cheat and use BR for this one.  Is it even possible for a pitcher to win 20 games with the Cubs?  Let alone SIX!?!?!? straight seasons, as Jenkins did from 1967-1972?  Yeah, pitchers started more games and went longer in those days, but still, no small accomplishment.

Buckner or DeShields?  I'd almost swear neither were taken.

Delino.  I never named Buckner because he was good here.
