I actually agree with Jay Mariotti

In his article today in the Chicago Sun Times summed it up perfectly! I especially like the comment about Soriano and Fukodome belonging there to sell hot dogs. I grew up in the Chicagoland area and the Cubs have always ruled the baseball scene. I still don't believe this is their year to end a century of futility and the Sox are three years removed from a World Series victory. I hope there is a World Series trophy raised in Chicago this year... on the South Side!

Your new Iowa hockey team!

The Iowa Chops are getting ready to hit the ice this fall! I did not realize the Stars had left and we were getting a new franchise. On the news the assistant general manager said they wanted something that reflected Iowa culture, I wondered why they did not choose a portly women dressed in clothes that are three years out of style and the ankle exposed tattoo. After further searching on the web I saw there is an organization called C.H.O.P.S which stands for Changing Homosexuals into Ordinary People. Way to go Iowa!

Cubs trade for Harden

Chicago Cubs fans are excited about this trade for Rich Harden, and they did not give up much to get him. The combination of Gallagher, Patterson, Murton and a minor leager is actually pretty small price to pay. I wonder if Harden is just Mark Prior in disguise, I thought I heard on the radio he has been on the DL nine times in six year, however the article says six times. Harden is signed until the end of next year so at least he is not a rent a player. I am a big Murton fan and I hate to see him go, Patterson I could take him or leave him. On a side note at an Iowa Cubs game I attended six weeks ago Patterson was on first when Felix Pie came to bat. Pie hit a towering fly ball to the catcher and Patterson took off running and was standing on third when the ball was caught, the catcher threw it to first for an inning ending double play. Don't get me wrong I am not a Cubs hater, I hate Cubs fans, would I be happy if they win the World Series, yes. I would be happier if the Sox win it though

We need to end fan voting for the All Star game

The Cubs do not deserve seven all stars! Fukodome does not deserve to start, nor does Soriano and Dempster cannot win away from Wrigley Field. I personally think Ryan Theriot and Derrick Lee belong there before those three. As for the White Sox I think that Gavin Floyd deserves to go as well as Jermaine Dye dererves to go over Manny Ramirez. This is nothing more than a popularity contest oh wait I forgot this one counts. Blah blah blah.

Sox complete sweep of the Tribe!

Whether you love him or hate him AJ Pierzynski homer in the bottom of the tenth inning completed the sweep of the Tribe and helped us keep our 2.5 game lead over the Twins who also won. We are a little over half way through the season and we are 49-35; I had originally picked the Sox for third in the Central. Can we keep this up? I for one hope so

I find this site to be hilarious!

My friend GB4 from Big Head Hip Hop introduced me to Stuff White People Like; and it is hilarious! The thing that is funny is a lot of it is true! For instance #60 is the Toyota Prius, tell me you've never seen this explained exactly how it is in the post! Living in Iowa I've seen many of these with my own eyes. Check it out.

South Side!

Over the weekend the South Side Hitmen emerged to stick it to the Cubs. Nothing brings me more joy! I am not a Cubs hater I just hate your typical ass clown Cubs fan; you know who you are. You sit in the stands and and talk on your cell phone and not pay attention to what is going on. I remember when I went to see the Cubs vs Yankees at Wrigley five years ago. To my recollection the last time the Yankees were there was a World Series in the twenties. The asshole sitting next to me called everyone in his contact list to let him know where he was. The conversation went like this "brah, I am at the Cubs game", "I am sitting next to this hot chick" this was a lie because he was sitting at the end of a row and next to me. Then he starts talking about where he is going afterwards, "brah I am going to Murphy's, it's going to be hot" what an ass! When I go to the game I very rarely utter a word, I am there for the game. Anyway the Sox are in the AL Central lead and I am loving it!
