I'm just poking my head up to say this:
Go White Sox.
I see the Sox just polished off an easy 6-2 win over the Cubs. Excellent. Let's hope the score of both games this weekend is 16-2. I hope the Sox absolutely embarrass the Cubs.
As you can see, nothing much has changed in the last five weeks. I stopped writing here because my blood pressure was getting ready to spike at 300 over 200. Five weeks ago, the Cubs sucked, and I was sick of it.
They still suck, and I am sick of it.
Yes, indeed, for the first time in my life, I am openly rooting for the Chicago Cubs to lose. I get devastated now whenever they win. What kind of fan am I?
You do not want to be asking me that question right now.
You see, a month ago, the Cubs were putrid, but they still had time to do something, anything, to make it seem like they actually cared about winning. They haven't. At the very least they should have fired Dusty Baker. His team has played horrible baseball this year. Injuries are no excuse. Injuuries don't keep players from hitting cutoff men, from throwing to the correct base, from not issuing the most walks in the league.
It has been pathetic. It has been embarrassing. It has been disgusting. And yet, they do nothing. Nothing.
Why? Well, simple. They don't have to. I should say, they don't want to. Why should they? The park continues to sell out. The lemmings continue to fill up Wrigley Field.
For the life of me, I don't know what is wrong with you people. I'm all for going to a game in a beautiful park every once in a while, but I'll be damned if I'm going to do it in a place that couldn't care less about the product that gets placed out there.
The Cubs organization doesn't really care about winning. All they care about is the money. And as long as the people who "support" them are dumb enough to keep doing it, nothing will change.
I'm still sick of it. I've stopped watching, I've stopped listening, and I have stopped caring. I WANT THEM TO LOSE! My biggest hope this summer is that the Royals and the Pirates surpass the Cubs.
When all is said and done, I want the 2006 Cubs to have the worst record in the league. And if that doesn't send a message to the lemmings who fill the stadium, and the front office, then I hope it happens again and again and again.
STOP SUPPORTING CRAPPY BASEBALL! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
Some have asked me why I don't just switch sides and root for the Sox. Hmm, can I start breathing nitrogen now instead too? You see, switching is not an option. I am stuck. I love baseball. I love the Chicago Cubs. I don't love who is in control of the Chicago Cubs now, and there is a big difference in that.
I have suffered mightily throughout my days as a fan of this team. Telling me to just quit would be like telling me to give up my family. It just can't happen.
I deserve better.
Fire Dusty Baker.
For God sakes, give me some kind of idea that you actually care about baseball,and that it is not all about money. Start by eating the rest of Baker's deal and bringing in someone who knows the game.
I feel like it is 1975 all over again. I can't go through thirty more years of this shit.
That's all folks. I won't come back here until things have changed.
