Bash Brother Introduction - The World Famous Sherm

Introducing you to the World famous "Sherm"

Hit Me!
Hit Me Twice!!

Sherm would do the Bugaloo when he got a Hit and did the
Funky Chicken when he went up to Bat.
See for yourself!
SHHHHHHHHEEEEEEERRRRMMMMM!

Sherm was an aspiring Comedianne....he has a habit of choking
his chicken while he tells his jokes or types on his keyboard.

The camp photographer took ALOT of pictures of ole' Sherm! They must have had a thing going.....Take a look for your self!

For every three pictures in Ken's Smug Mug, you will see Sherm.


Sherm is in the Hardware business....he uses a lot of hardware terms when he talks...such as-

• "You hit the nail on the head"
• "My roommate was sawing logs"
• "The shower has Kohler fixtures"
• and his favorite...."Don't drop the soap"
  

Here's Sherm "buddying" up to Hall of Famer - Fergie Jenkins.



I don't know where Sherm's hand is...I do know that Sherm followed all the Cubs players all over the locker room and field.

Baseball Card of Joe Pepitone when he was on the
Cubs and maybe....had hair. Joe changed his wigs as
much as Sherm changes his skivvies.
That's right...Sherm turns his inside out and gets two for the price of one!

What do we have here?
Lo' and behold it's Sherm with Pepi!
Who would have figured?
Nice hair Pepi!

Another famous alumni was Mr Cub, Ernie Banks.
A true Class act!
Ernie when he was jumping high!

Campers...Who would have guessed!?!
Sherm with Ernie Banks!
Sherm likes to touch and hug.
Love is in the air.
Ernie has a nice smile.....and a great dentist.

Male bonding at it's finest.

Sherm showing Ernie his Cubs tattoo.

Ernie does not look too thrilled.

The male bonding took a turn.....

Shern will NOT be attending the 2008 Camp. Rumor has it
that Sherm pretends to play at camp with his Bullpen Buddy in his backyard.

Sherm...

Takes pictures with the Buddy.
Hugs the Buddy.
Tries to get the buddy to sign autographs for him.
Puts wigs on the Buddy and calls him Pepi.
Showers with the Buddy.
And shows the Buddy his Cubs tattoo.

The Real Rea$on Sherm will not be attending the 2008 camp!

Bash Brothers SPECIAL REPORT!

AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!

Has Anyone seen my balls....?!?

Can you guess which one these two guys is on 'Roids?

Major League Baseball

releases the 'Roid Report

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/mitchell-report.pdf

I am THRILLED to report that NOT ONE of the
Bash Brothers was mentioned in the MLB report.
As the proxied GM of the Cubs Bash Brothers, I would be

lying if if I didn't get a little choked up when I saw the report findings.

You Guys make me proud to be a Bash Brother!

In regards to other "Roid" reports....I can't be as certain.....

Looking at the diagram, I could be wrong all together.
Then again, maybe all the Bash Brothers
are ON or have 'Roids.

Steroids!
The Breakfast of Chumps....I mean Champions!

Another Bash Brothers Intro

The BASH BROTHERS introduce -

Dan DeCarlo

This is the closest picture that I have
to what Dan may look like.


One of the DeCarlo and Bash Brothers.
If you need a GREAT patent attorney -
Dan's the Man! -
Dan D will be a Bash Brother rookie attending the 2009 Camp.

SUPPOSEDLY!?!

Other wise he's just another Cubs fan.....

Six Weeks until Randy Hundley's 2008 Fantasy Camp!

The Suspense is Killing me!

I can't wait!

It's almost here! Time to start stretching, running and not falling, hitting, and throwing. We have six weeks to go...with the holidays somewhere in the middle of all this. I started running
yesterday and driving into my subliminal conscience that I need to slide before the base, not after it.

The proper way to slide!

I HIGHLY recommend that you start your work out and stretching regime sooner
than later.Yesterday's weather in Texas was 81 degrees...today it is 38.

Welcome to Texas in the Winter!
Remember to plan for your holiday season!

Something to Ponder or share with your family at the "holiday" table.

Name the only sport in which the ball is always in possession of the team on defense and the offensive team can score without touching the ball?

.. Baseball.

Update! New Bash Hat!

Wad up Bash Brothers!

Due to Popular Demand.....the Cubs Bash Hat has been changed.
The new hat is probably more appropriate.


A new Bash Brother will be introduced this weekend.
Could it be a Doctor?or a absent Bash Brother? or a "cable" star?
We will "see".....get it!!??

Only the Smitty knows! HaHaHaHa!

Plus a new feature, Joke of the Week!

Stay tuned!

Intro to Bash Brother #2- Dave "Badmojo"

There is no way these guys were on Steroids??!!?!

Dave is a Bash Brother by association, in most circles a
"Wannabe" or "Wannabe Basher".

Dave at Work!

He has felt left out of the Brotherhood due to his lack of participation
in the 2007 Cubs Camp.

Dave is also known as "Badmojo", and is in the mortgage business.
He will receive his business "plug-ola" at a later date. Badmojo plays
on a Beverly Hills softball team with the DeCarlo brothers
(i.e. Alumni Bash Brothers). He is impressed with himself in
that he can "rake" off an underhanded pitcher.

COOL FACTOR!
Badmojo's cool factor is that his wife is expecting twins after many prayers
and "work", if you get my drift!

The Bash Brotherhood hangs up our "Bash hat" temporarily to send
a BIG Congrats to Mojo and his wife....and the dogs too.
Many prayers for a healthy family.

Time to put the "Bash Hat" back on.....NEW BASH HAT!
Due to Popular demand!

Hey Dave! Part Velcro - Part toxic Waste......
Get your sleep now!!!

Two for the price of One!

FINALLY!
Badmojo wanted to participate in the Bash Brothers Blog. Here
is his "idea" of creativity. That is why Dave is in mortgages!

Dave and the Mrs. wish you a happy holiday!

Dave needs another Bash Hat for this!BASH HAT!

2008 Chicago Cubs Fantasy Camp Update!

VS.

Looks like the 2008 Cubs camp will be playing the San Francisco Giants camp.
What does this mean? The Bash Brothers better work on their pitching arms.
The Giants camp is a "live" pitching camp vs
a "Dr Raker" pitching machine special.


As reported in San Francisco's Wave magazine -

"A rare treat this year will be a road game in nearby Mesa, Arizona against teams from the Chicago Cubs Fantasy Camp. The week concludes with the traditional intra-camp single elimination tournament."
