IS THE SHIP SINKING?

I am constantly amazed with the similarities between the early 70's white house of RICHARD NIXON and the current mess of the trump administration. Lies, finger pointing, more lies, broken promises and a savage relationship with the media along with the constant departure of appointees. (rats leaving the sinking ship?).
DOZENS of appointees have departed the trump white house in two years and i believe the one today makes it 45.
*****************************************
The most recent one to say adios is incompetent buffoon SARA HUCKABEE SANDERS, the THIRD press secretary to depart in 2 1/2 years and so bad at her job that she was removed from daily press contact about six months ago. 

Sanders (lose the huckabee and quit riding daddy's coat tails) staunchly defended the president but she was constantly chewed up by a grizzled white house press corp who sensed a weakness in her ability to verbally joust and attacked like sharks in bloody water. She was caught in several lies and always appeared to act like a spoiled little girl stomping her feet and holding her breath when the press continued to push on a particular issue.
**************************************
Let's move on to presidential counselor KELLYANNE CONWAY, whose termination was recommended by the OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL for repeatedly violating the HATCH ACT, which prevents government employees from using their tax-funded positions to advocate partisan political beliefs. in other words, keep your mouth shut while you're on the clock. HOWEVER, there is ZERO CHANCE she gets whacked because the guy in charge of dumping her is the man with the funny hair so it will never happen.

What the hell is going on in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC? seven tourists have died under strange circumstances the last two months and now the FBI is investigating three of the deaths. needless to say, the DR department of tourism is trying to calm fears but 4 people dying after drinking out of the mini-bar in their rooms suggests perhaps a serial killer who is tainting the alcohol. can't wait for the autopsy results.

gotta run. later, dude

SHOWTIME!

GAME SEVEN. The two words that gets your pulse racing and peaks your anticipation like no other sporting event and TONIGHT, whether you follow hockey or not, tune in to watch the ST. LOUIS BLUES travel to take on the BOSTON BRUINS and one team will be taking home the oldest trophy in professional sports, the STANLEY CUP. These teams don't like each other and the previous six games has been full of hard hits, cheap shots, nasty play and suspensions. MUST SEE TV ON NBC TONIGHT!

***************************

Did the CUBS buy themselves a division title with the 43 million dollars they spent to get CRAIG KIMBREL as their closer? the answer is...... maybe....... because this team is deeply flawed with a lack of  depth, a serious lack of intensity and joe maddon. and you have to get to the 9th inning WITH the lead in order to make use of a good closer or you've wasted a lot of money. the cub "dynasty" never happened and their window of opportunity is closing rapidly.

******************************

Now if you want to watch a young, exciting team, simply travel eight miles south from wrigley. unlike the north siders, they're not spoiled or lackadaisical nor do they have a sense of entitlement. the WHITE SOX are fun to watch and hit the bejesus out of the baseball and you can see the improvement week by week. good times on the south side are here and only going to get better. 

**************************************

But when you're talking chicago sports, never forget that this town will ALWAYS belong to the CHICAGO BEARS. the early excitement is incredible and the tv schedule alone tells you that the BEARS are network caviar which is why they're scheduled for NO LESS THAN SIX PRIME TIME GAMES, starting with the PACKERS for the league opener on thursday night, september 5th.
and by the way, the BEARS are already listed as 4 point favorites.

**************************************

do you believe in MITCH TRIBISKY? because he's the key that fits the door to the super bowl.

We're not even half way done but i'm looking at a world series between the LOS ANGELES DODGERS & HOUSTON ASTROS.

CUBS VS SOX MATCH-UPS

This is always the blog that always creates a lot of bitching & moaning from various fans but i think the majority of that will be coming from the north side as the rebuilding worm turns slowly on the south side but has produced some surprising results. Let's get to the match-ups:

1B    ANTHONY RIZZO but barely. if abreu's average was 
          higher.................

2B     YOLMER SANCHEZ  about even in hitting with russell
          and he doesn't beat his wife.

SS     TIM ANDERSON (let the howling begin) he's a better hitter            than baez and has the same amount of rbi with less power,                proving he's a great clutch hitter. 

3B      YOAN MONCADA don't even start with me. .295-.270,
           12-13 hr and 39-36 rbi and a MUCH better fielder than                     pretty boy kris. with a K.

C        JAMES McCAAN better hitter and better catcher and far                 less mustard on him.

LF      KYLE SCHWARBER   for now...........

CF      LEURY GARCIA   almora is a great defender but couldn't
            hit your sister's pitching.  garcia a steady .280 and also a
            great defender.

RF       JASON HEYWARD   because of his arm.

P          LUCAS GIOLITO    he's been great ALL year, not just the              month of may.

DH     JAVY BAEZ  

so the final score is 6-4 WHITE SOX and that's enough to get the conversation started. we might re-do this at the end of the year.
