Happy Friday everyone! Very excited to watch Starlin Castro tonight! I’ve got dinner plans so the TiVo is all set. I wish him well. Is it too soon? I guess we’ll find out. As with most Cubs’ decisions, there will be a frenzy of commentary around about what a great or rotten move this is. Then things will settle down some and the truth will be told. If the kid is fantastic, then we’ll hear about how it’s a move that should have happened way sooner. If he sucks, then the Cubs will be deemed idiots. It’s all part of the fun of blogging!

Whatever your opinion, enjoy the game and let’s hope for our first win of the week. I’m sure we can all agree on wanting that! :-)

  • First Lizard…6-run win…beer in the fridge…no work this weekend…fiance wants to play Mario on the Wii tonight…I need to buy a frickin lottery ticket.
  • What can it hurt for a team that’s under .500 after a month of less than impressive opponents?
  • You had to figure the baseball Gods were going to pay us back with Howry on the mound.
  • “Torn Labia”: Great name for a rock band!
  • Torn labia? Was that after his vaginoplasty?
  • Mark Grace tore a few labia around Wrigleyville back in the day, every other player tears labrum.
  • Good thing for an off day. It takes time for the episiotomy to heal.
  • At least his anterior cruciate vulva is okay!
  • It’s part of the deal.
  • IF Starlin Castro can hit it the major league level we could have a nice middle infield with Theriot at 2b and Castro at ss.
  • Grabow – 4% – 3% – 4%
  • The more the weeks pile up, the cooler this will get!
  • we’re more in the category of light spankers
  • Let’s hope that dude’s favorite team gets a sweep in exchange for my new feelings of inadequacy.
  • Hidey-ho, Cubs fans.
  • Apparently, Alfonso Soriano sees the ball much better when I’m in the Pacific Time Zone.
  • But then the epiphany hit me like a comebacker up the box: It’s Castro, stupid.
  • What matters more is the offense producing more than two or three runs a game.
  • I’d take an Old Style over a Coors any day FWIW.
  • Jake, you want Aram back?
  • Seattle fans must be racists also.
  • Pitching and defense. There’s a reason for the mantra.
  • I’m assuming most of you aren’t “all jacked up” about the team at the moment. If you are, please share some of the chemical refreshments you’re clearly enjoying.
  • I like the idea that a pitch is a strike if it hits the rectangle suspended behind the plate.
  • Wrigley Legend Dusty Baker
  • Windy City Hero Dusty Baker
  • Honorary Mayor of Wrigleyville Dusty Baker
  • The Sultan of Michigan Avenue Dusty Baker
  • Professor Emeritus at University of Chicago Dusty Baker
  • Congressman Dusty Baker, representing Illinois’ 5th District
  • The Cubs had a wonderful window of supposedly weaker competition.
  • welcome to the show kid!
