Moral of the Story: Cubs are Lousy

Not much more to say…that is the gist.

I have been too busy over at swan tron dot com to spend very much time on this site. Plus, the Cubs have been awful.

I did a theme redesign on swantron…figured I would persist the change over here, for the case that anyone would find this site. A few do…a few do. Greetings.

I did a header update as well. Out with the old:

In with the new. Look to the top. Perhaps I will get on a post or two as the season winds down. Perhaps…

Barney vs Scales

The 2011 Cubs infield has a question mark in one primary spot. What to do with second base?

After dealing both Cajuns last season, we are left with DeWitt as the primary 2-bagger for the time being. Baker is the new jack-of-all-trades, but DeRosa he is not. He will make for a nice platoon partner with Pena, as he can cover first as well.

Here is my suggestion:

I’d love to see Bobby Scales in the line-up. I have a feeling that Darwin Barney will beat him out, as he is solid at 2nd and can snag balls at short. Time will tell, but I think Scales’ stick would be a nice addition this season.

Bernie the Brewer is an Idiot

I found this guy via Chicago Tough
Bernie the Brewer is now PC, and a pussy

Bernie Brewer has been the mascot of the Milwaukee Brewers since 1973. Since that time, the mustachioed man has slid into a beer mug after every home run…that was until 2000, the final year the Brewers played in County Stadium.

The move to Miller Park eliminated Bernie Brewer’s sliding into a gigantic beer barrel. The move was made to prevent the advertisement of drinking towards children. The move angered many beer guzzling Milwaukeeans.

looks like fun...until the juice, of course

The ale-driven mascot will be sliding into a large glass of pomegranate cranberry juice.

“We feel that the anti-oxidants will be good for Bernie and the people of Milwaukee. You can’t live off of cheese and beer and expect to be healthy,” stated health expert Gwen Maline.

Okay. Whatever. Whatever Bernie does, at least the ‘crew will be competing for that coveted third spot in the NL Central as usual.

Silva’s First Outing

Well, at least we Cubbies fans have a new horse to kick.

silva's fat ass

Awesome MS Paint Action

Silva’s first Spring appearance was great. Not great in the conventional sense, but great in that we have something to bitch about with Milton gone.

~2 Innings pitched
~6 Runs
~7 Hits
~2 Dingers…both by Carlos Quinten.

Good luck dude. AAA Iowa is one hell of a club.
