I will tell you this much my relationship with the Cubs mirrors the relationship between Ike Turner and Tina....every time I think they are going to turn it around and change and finally win something they push me down a flight of stairs and leave me battered. But I keep coming back for more. What's love got to do with it?


Ike's classic line from Spin, “Yeah, I hit her, but I didn’t hit her more than the average guy beats his wife."

I'm not even going to quote the story from Rogers today on ESPN, but I think the headline says it all. There are 24 better players you can write a story about, but:

"Can Chris Coghlan fill the Cubs' need for a left-handed bat?"

Jesus Fuck.

I don't want to continuously pick on you for this...but that is an important story. In the post-season, who takes that pinch hit at bat against a very tough righty? That guy might not be on the roster yet.

I hope it isn't Coghlan.

The need for a left handed bat is important. Thinking Coghlan is it is not.

Jesse Rogers sucks, but I'll have to read the story. I hope he isn't trying to sell that as being a good option.

Coghlan sucks, but Maddon loves him. I am glad they weeded out the mental weakness that LaStella has before the playoffs started, but I would be good with them adding a lefty bat before the end of August.

Jesse should stop writing about the Cubs and blog about more important things like Arod, The Red Sox, and how the Yankees can turn things around.

I actually tweeted back at him thanking him for writing an article that mentions Bryant in the same breath as other Hall of Famers, instead of Bryce Harper. Of course, then Vin Scully has to mention Harper in his one inning broadcast, so I guess that balances everything out.

Right now the ESPN MLB page has 7 sections or links devoted to Tim Tebow. 90% of the right side of the page are tweets about Tim Tebow. Then the top headlines in order are Dodgers (Puig), Angels (Trout, Pujols), Red Sox (Uehara), Cardinals (Leake), Dodgers (Kershaw) and then the Cubs (Lackey). I fucking hate ESPN.

The Sky looked pretty good against Atlanta Friday. Good crowd at the Horizon and glad parking is free for the games this year.

Bryant is killing it but I'm not so sure Arrenado and Murphy won't take it.

Murphy's PEDs are really paying off this year.

Four days removed and not one story on the lead page of ESPN.com. Already moving past this story.

It's amazing the small amount of coverage the Cubs have gotten. It's been 108 years, man!

That's okay... we'll just go into next year with a chip on our shoulder.

Next year's story on this board is doing to be complacent Cubs fans versus hungry Cubs fans.

Poor Sox fans. They just made a "blockbuster" trade and all they can do is talk about the Cubs. Sad.
