my dislike for everything north side reached a new level on tuesday when the wrigley boys made hitting coach rudy jaramillo the fall guy for the disaster known as the 2012 chicago cubs. they gave this guy two hitters and a garbage can full of crap that shouldn't even be in the major leagues and then theo and the staff were surprised when they couldn't hit?????
check out this theo-ism: "Rudy's not to blame for the results," said Epstein, president of baseball operations. "That's something we're all accountable for. We put the roster together. It's probably more on us than it is on him." well, if theo is speaking the truth, shouldn't somebody in the front office get whacked rather than jaramillo? RUDY'S NOT TO BLAME. but he gets fired.
which makes this the perfect time to introduce my new word for everyone associated with the north side, whether it be players, fans, bosses or beer vendors. CUBPUD. and i will gladly award my first use of the word to king theo, who showed he was a major CUBPUD with his handling of jaramillo's termination. just let the man go & announce the change.....don't stand in front of a microphone and say it wasn't his fault when you announce the firing. showed no class. cuppud.
did my heart good on tuesday night to see wrigley not full again and about 20,000 tiger fans in attendance. the rooftops were about 60% and it was a very nice night for baseball; a little cool but that keeps the smell of urine to a minimum. but don't forget they do have bison dogs.
moving along and football related, the prosecution in the penn state/JERRY SANDUSKY trial (and believe me, the university is on trial too) will rest it's case on friday and then the defense gets it's turn but how do they defend that piece of crap? i think sandusky will be found guilty and sentenced to a hundred years in prison (seriously) which means he dies there. i hope he enjoys it the first time 'big bubba' grabs him in a bear hug from behind and walks him to a secluded corner. remember that about 20% of all male prisoners were abused BEFORE they ever went to jail which means good old jerry should run into some angry inmates.
the trial has also made the future very uncertain for three members of joe paterno's staff who either failed to report witnessing sandusky's sexual assault of a young boy or lied to a grand jury about their knowledge of the incident. may they all be touched by the swift sword of justice with future indictments. oh, and by the way, the hell with JOE PATERNO. may he rot in hell for failing to report the abuse.
the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER did as i expected on tuesday night and simply wore down the MIAMI HEAT in the 4th quarter. DEWAYNE WADE & CHRIS BOSH combined for 29 points but they'll need to make that 49 if the heat want to be competitive. LEBRON did his part with 30 points BUT disappeared again in the 4th quarter, scoring only ONE BASKET in the last eight minutes and taking only five shots the entire quarter. the fatigue was obvious.
congratulations to the LOS ANGELES KINGS, who steamrolled every team in the playoffs and captured their first stanley cup on monday night. i'm sure the quiche was flowing into the wee hours. adios for now.
