Maybe this should be a sticky...because we kinda revisit this from time to time here. Kerry Wood takes the mound today for the Cubs. Cubs fans everywhere are nervous. Prior got his butt handed to him last night in a minor league start. But he had his control. 1pm start on WGN vs. the Brew Crew today.
I watched Michael Barrett push Troy Glaus from behind LIKE A GIRL, just because Glaus slid into him pretty hard at home (he's a catcher... what the hall does he expect?) That made me re-affirm my hate for the Cubs. They might have gotten rid of some of their hot-heads like Sosa and Alou... and they no longer have their ultra-homer announcer in Chip Carey (who, along w/ Steve Stone, became infinitly more likeable when THEY started dissing and hating on the Cubs at the end of last year)... but they still have Dusty Baker, Carlos "got ejected from a game he was leading 9-0" Zambrano, and Michael "I am a whiny little b****" Barrett. That's all you need...
Freakin Arizona took 2 of 3 from them. I love it! I'd love for Wood to get rocked today. Cub nation would be in shambles.
lets not get crazy....if their pitchers arent healthy, they have no pitching, .....otherwise, they have as good of a 1-4 as we do
It sucks being an Astros fan when you have BOTH Prior AND Wood on your fantasy team (not to mention Rolen and Edmonds), but I'm pulling for 60% of their games as losses
Can we have a sticky for Braves haters? And Dodgers and Mets haters? But especially the Braves. I hate the freaking Braves.
Come on Clutch, I have a policy where I do not draft ANY Cub or any Cardinal. The thing is I don't HATE the Cardinals, I actually respect most of their players. But still, I just couldn't get that happy if they do well, because it hurts the Astros in the end. And to add to this Cub hating (which I love), Barrett is a little b****. He needs to realize to just play the game, and there is NO crying in baseball. I do thank him for being the jackass last year that sparked our run last year. Dusty Baker is just an idiot, I don't even know what else to say. I am very happy for Nomar, quit on a team and then get traded, only to see the team that you left ends a curse and wins the World Series. Kind of gets you to think, was is a Red Sox curse, or is Nomar just cursed. I can go on forever, but to make a long story short, cubs SUCK.
Mine used to. But as I've said here before...at least I respect the Cardinals. My dislike for them is mere rivalry...it's just through competition year in and year out with them. My dislike for the Cubs stems from their whiny attitude.
