Up late and a little ticked off about some computer related problems, here I am to get my mind off of it for a minute or two.

Opening Day is a little over a week away! I can’t wait. The ONLY upside to being out of work may be that I can actually watch the entire Chicago Cubs game on April 5th. The Cubs have their pitching rotation set until Ted Lilly comes back from his surgery and are still trying to work out the bench situation. Oh, and Milton Bradley is still a tool even if he now resides in the pacific northwest, far, far away from the Friendly Confines. He needs a splintered baseball bat shoved down his throat, maybe he’ll shut up for a while. Blaming Chicago and the fans for his poor season last year? Please, check your attitude at the door, you’ve played for 8 teams in 11 years. I guess all those cities and their fans were to blame why you have to keep filing a change of address? A pathetic waste of a Major League roster space. Baseballs Kanye suffers from a condition my school teachers used to call, diarrhea of the mouth. Everything that comes out is a little shittier than the last.

The Plight of a Chicago Sports Fan

Posted on December 1, 2009 by David

I guess I’ve just been saving this crap in the back of my head somewhere for the last month or so …

Lets flash back to February. Cubs fans everywhere, myself included, couldn’t wait for the season to start. Spring Training was upon us and we were going to run away with the NL Central Division and maybe, just MAYBE, sniff the possibility of a World Series. Then, quicker than a Milton Bradley media session, that blew up in our faces. Mark Buehrle did throw a perfect game for the White Sox, kudos to him for that, DeWayne Wise will be on his Christmas card list, permanently.

Then, the spirits rise again as the Blackhawks make a triumphant return to the postseason and nearly make the Stanley Cup Finals. Joy in Chitown! At least we have one team still giving us something to cheer about as they keep the puck rolling in the right direction this season, 16-6-3, 35 pts and leading the Central Division.

Lost in the minutia of baseballs opening weeks and the hockey playoffs, we also have the Bulls taking the Celtics to Game 7 in a great series, if only because Kevin Garnett was injured and not playing. And now, they’re 6-9, and lost 5 straight.

There was something else, as well. Oh, yeah! Jay Cutler, the latest Chicago Bears savior. Well, at least we have a QB that can throw for 300 yds, I just wish he wouldn’t wrap it so neatly in 5 interceptions.

So, tomorrow, I’ll be sitting in front of the TV, watching the Hawks in their nifty new alternate uniforms, at the United Center against Nashville, then turning away to watch the season finale of Sons of Anarchy. Only an NCIS rerun tomorrow so no worries of missing anything.

Just to hold the slimest of holiday connections between this and my previous two posts, lets not forget that Jay Cutler is from Santa Claus, IN.

Ho, Ho, Ho … Go Hawks!

Is Spring Training here yet?
