We got lucky on this one

Prior has tear in right shoulder capsule
May 16th, 2008

Mark Prior's road back to pitching in the Major League has hit a speedbump.
Prior's agent John Boggs confirmed Friday that the right-hander has a tear in
the capsule of his right shoulder, the shoulder he had surgery on in April 2007. 

Weekend of Faith, Miracles, Belief, Hope and Prayers!

FAITH
A year ago on Memorial Day weekend
my brother had an emergency heart surgery.
Which turned into a heart transplant
with 72 hours to live.
The odds of finding a heart with an exact
match is slim to none with many people
on waiting lists for years. To find a heart that matches
in less than 12 hours is a MIRACLE....and turned me
into a BELIEVER!
Happy Birthday Jeff! For turning 19
a second time in life!

HOPE

I don't get it!
I was getting my faith back on Soriano.
And he drops the ball.
EVEN I caught everything hit to me in
all the camps that I have played in.
Rain! Sleet! Snow and Sun in
Mesa's Center field I caught.
I HOPE this is a minor setback.
PRAYERS!
And now to some serious stuff.
As many of you may or may not know...
Rick Sutcliffe has Colon Cancer.
The Doctor's feel that they have caught
it in time before it spreads.
Rick and his daughter-Shelby
Rick is a CLASS act and one of the
nicest guys that I have ever had the
pleasure of meeting.
Read the story and say a
prayer for Rick and his family.
Rick deserves to be back at camp in 2009.
Thanks to Sean G for the Story.

We win today and lose last night.
Bench your Superstar so he
doesn't get the Sammy Sosa disease.
No effort in Left Field....oOooooPss!
It's over my head. Maybe it will
bounce back to me!
I can't catch a fly ball without a
little hop.
I CAN PLAY LEFT FIELD WAY BETTER!
I threw two guys out this year and NO ONE
got more than a Double on me.
I get paid how much to play?
That's right I paid to play!
STUPID ME!
I DON'T SWING AT PITCHES AT MY FEET
I AM TIRED OF THE SORIANO PARADE

Can you hear it!?!
We need to get our bats steamin' again.
The 2nd worst team in the Majors
and we end up with a Goose egg.
Who's your underdog!
Bring in Sherm...he can hit better than
they did Sunday.
Have you noticed how the Cubs have a crummy
summer schedule at home in May, June and July?BAM! POW! ZOWEE!
Holy Right Hook!
One weekend game in the month of June and
it's against the Sox!
Wonder what festivities we will see.
Could be the teams in the World Series!
That would make the 100 year wait worth it.

Was up!?!

Cubs need to start scoring again. The bats went silent.
Even Joe Pepitone agrees...

I know you want to read it!
Good things come to those who wait.

BLOG BITCHIN- REMEMBER WHEN?

25 CENTS?!?

LET'S HOPE THE THINNESS OF
AIR DOES NOT CASE THE CUBS PROBLEMS.
I HEAR FARTS LINGER LONGER IN DENVER!

SCOTT PODSEDNIK IN ACTION!
THE ROCKIES ARE USING HIM AS A
PINCH HITTER AND UTILITY PLAYER.
THAT BLOWS!

Kudos to Zambrano....He's Hungry.

Cardinals? Where did they come from?Okay...Bitch Time!
What is with this Soriano hop?
STUPID! I play outfield and I don't
hop like some rabbit.
Did he forget his running stunt from last year?
Save the hop for the real rabbit.

Day in the Life of Lou!

As Sherm mentioned in his Blog...
Lou said "Winning Ugly is better than winning pretty!"

Not from what I found out about Lou!
What does Lou do...thats funny...Lou Do...more on the
Lou Do!

Lou starts out his day by kissing his wife Goodbye
before he heads to the office.

Ole Lou arrives to the "Office"
Wrigley Field and realizes he forgot to shave.
What does Louie do next!
It's time for a new Lou DO and a ShaveNext on the Agenda!
Back to the office and Lou finds out that
beer sales ended during the 7th inning.
What does Lou DO!?
He makes sure that he's seen and heard
and instigates the crowd into a frenzy.
That is what Lou Does...!!!!!
Then it's back to home for some "Honey Do's
instead of some "Lou Do's"
Gotta Love Lou!
Go Cubs!

And.....the Season started, April Fools Day is Over, and....!!?!

First of all...Yeah...Whatever. I'm back
Second...my bud Greg Porter.
Sent down to Triple AAA Yankees.
Had a great spring considering the pressure
of a Rookie baseball "Rock Star"

Sitting in the 'burbs of Chicago waiting to get my
'07 taxes done. By the way a plug for
Barrington Financial Services.
You don't have a great tax and financial adviser...
Have I got the guy for you!
WAIT! Lo' and behold the Cubs come back to
beat the 'Stroholes 9-7.
Check Sherm's blog out for more happy whining!

Vent time! What is gong on with the gas prices!
$3.57 in Chicago...$3.16 in Texas where we make
the damn stuff!
This is what my piggy bank looks like!
I'm supposed to have $$ in here.
I was asked by my Financial Adviser if
I was going to take out an equity loan
for Gas!

And your wondering what is happening to all the $$
all these Sheik's are making?
They don't need butt wipers!
Or a Gold plated Toilet...

No! How about an Audi built in Silver.
Bend Over - I'll Drive!

Brewers played the Cubs this week!

Good to see the Brewers cheerleaders were
out in full force.

Meet my last 90 days....

Forget the Lemons!
Anyone care to join me?

As my Grandmother used to say....

Thanks for missing me!

Cubs aiming to end 100 years of solitude

News on the Cubs Web Site

My turn to do a Sherm....I am tired of the
F***'n Goat Story!
It needs to come out of the media reports every Spring.
Kinda like my grandmother's teeth
TAKE EM OUT!
Let's get on with life already.

Leave Bartman alone!

A guy in a $75 seat messes with a baseball
millionaire and takes the team down!
C'mon!? If I used all these excuses during my
workday, I would be out of business!
and saying "Would you like to Supersize it?!!"

Cubs!
You spent the $$$$! You have the talent!
Let's quit the bitching, moaning, excuses and
make it happen!
You have Fukadome, Lee, Ramirez, Soriano and
Wood...matter of fact give me some Wood and
WIN the Division, National League Championship
and most of all the 2008 World Series!

The National League Central Division is
practically handing you first place.
The Brewers look like they may be your only competition!

100 Years No moh! No moh!

Comments are welcome below!

Sherm I do have an eye
for talent. Podsednik worked hard on his rehab
and the Sox and Cubs will have lost a
great prospect. Greg Porter of the
Yankees is my next pick for success!
It's time to become an agent.

Coming up for Air!

Yes...I'm fully aware that I went dark for
a week or so.

Thanks for making the blog an important day
in your life.

I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Kudos to Greg Porter - New Yawk Yankees.

My buddy Greg Porter was signed by the
Yankees AAA for 2008.
His 2nd major league at bat and....well you read it.
REDS 12, YANKEES 8
at Sarasota, Fla.
Thursday, March 6
Yankees at the plate: Johnny Damon went 2-for-3 with two doubles against Reds starter Aaron Harang. Bobby Abreu's homer to left-center field off Matt Maloney put New York on the scoreboard in the seventh inning. Greg Porter hit a grand slam off Alexander Smit in the eighth inning.

MY MAN! He's a Rock Star.

Tournament Update!

Your Killing ME!

We went from a full roster to losing
two and with three Tentative on board.
CHOKE!

I'll put out the broadcast to fill the roster
on Monday, March 10th.

When it comes to the $$...that will separate the men
from the boys.
