Frightening guy, Sam Zell.
And he's been an active participant in making this season as bad as it can possibly be.
The DeRosa rumors that were flying around?
I actually thought he'd come back here if for no other reason than that the front office could bask in a good glow for a change.
But apparently, until the sale of the Cubs goes through Hendry's gonna be stuck with an empty wallet.
I'm not a betting guy, but my guess would be that Jim's never read "Moneyball".
Anyway, giant backloaded contracts and players with dipping production - that's far too depressing an area to get too deep into.
I really just wanted to do that drawing of Mr. Zell.
SELL THE CLUB YA FREAKING BOZO.
Let us have an owner who cares, and let us get on with our lives.
Wasn't last night nice?
A nice little win.
Rich Harden gave up a bunch of hits but he looked pretty damn good - I saw a 96 mph heater mixed in there.
Milton knocked a run in, Theriot knocked one out.
Marmol threw 7 strikes and 1 ball to get 3 outs in the 8th - that may be the most exciting thing that happened last night.
Sooo, that's better. I guess.
Yeah it's only Pittsburgh, but had the Cubs lost it would have been continued disaster.
I hear rumors of rain in Pittsburgh tonight.
Let that not be so, as I'd like to watch Terrible Ted become his old self tonight.
Go Cubs.
