It's my dream come not true. In my dream, Kevin Millar gets kicked in the face by a wild bronco repeatedly, but he can never die.

In your dream, do his capped teeth keep getting kicked out and growing back in?

I hate this motherfucker.

Is he forced to yell "COWBOY UP!" after each blow?  Because that would be awesome.

why

Because Jim Hendry's switched from signing shitty second basemen to signing shitty first basemen.

The Big News is that he says the Cubs are seriously annoyed with Ryan Theriot holding out for $3.4 million. So pissed off they may try to trade him or even non-tender him when the season is over. Bruce said he's sure the Cubs will go to arbitration this year ( unless RT backs down of course )

That's just fucking dumb.  A couple hundred grand means nothing.  Sounds like typical Cubs management strategy.
Most fans like Theriot (he's white and dumb like them), management thinks they might trade/release him since
they hope to have a replacement so they start the stupid character assassination.  First they'll act like he's greedy,
then there will be some leak about him supposedly not showing up in as good of shape or some shit, then there
will be a leak about him having some kind of bad attitude.

It's all just because the Cubs spend so much type hyping mediocre to average players to the fans that they have
to find some way to try and get rid of them without admitting how they were lying through their teeth.

I'm not a fan. But it's just a minor league deal. If he's a done as I think he is, this won't amount to anything more than several annoying interviews from the dugout at Ho Ho Kam with Millah and Dempster trading retarded jokes about stuff. I pity Len and Borb. And Lou.

That sounds possible given their track record of mishandling guys they don't want/need. And if you're right, it couldn't be more fucking dumb. Because, if Castro can play well enough to supplant Theriot at short and Baker makes him expendable altogether (And if "if" were a spliff, we'd all be Oleg) they wouldn't need to bash Theriot to justify his departure. Why would they even care what the fans thought about it if it made the team better?

In my heart I truly believe that they don't really give a shit what the fans think about Theriot or Castro or anyone else. But still, Pre could be correct. It's sort of possible.

The first time I ever heard someone use the term 'assbag', it was in regards to Kevin Millar.

Hoff-power and Chad Tracy are both younger, better, and play more positions.  My only guess is the organization feels they are lacking in "outspoken and obnoxious". Oh well, chances are he'll be cut in spring training and never heard from again.

I liked Damian Miller better, as far as scabs go.
