Astros - 5Cubs - 3
Carlos Lee and the Cub-killing Astros took another one from us last night, adding to the freefall of epic proportions. This isn't quite as bad as the unraveling of '05, because we were closer to the grail back then, and Dusty Baker was making some of the stupidest managerial decisions I've ever seen as a baseball fan. The fact that he and Dick Pole are poisoning the once up-and-coming Reds keeps me warm and the demons away when I'm trying to fall asleep at night. I honestly don't know how you can mismanage a team that includes Joey Votto, Jay Bruce, Brandon Phillips, Johnny Cueto, Edinson Volquez, etc. It's a future All-Star team.
Lou napped during the game, as did I.
Lou always looks like he just ate a huge pasta dinner with 3 glasses of chablis. He looks like my Dad does after Thanksgiving dinner, or like I did during the week I was prescribed Soma for anxiety. Just flat out dosed. Hell, even when the Bears were losing 12, 13 games in the 80s, Ditka was throwing players around the locker room.
The indifference of '09 Lou (aka Lou-nesta) has run it's course for me, and for a lot of the fans.
My guess is than Ricketts will throw him a year or two extension, let Trammel go, bring up Sandberg to bench coach until his eventual crowning. I'm actually afraid that Ryne Sandberg will bring about the apocalypse when he is named head coach. It makes too much sense: redemptive Christ figure returns to the fold to lead the band of misfits into the promised land. But here's what I just realized--if they do indeed re-up on Lou for a two-year, Sandberg will be taking over in fucking 2012! Quetzalcohuātl and other MesoAmerican gods come back to shove hot pokers up our asses for an eternity!
Another game with the 'stros tonight and tomorrow, and in what I'm sure will be a banner day for the sill-incubating Addison to 35th, CUBS/SOX on Thursday. Let's get it on, one more time.

For some reason, I can never get by the fact that all Aztec drawings, in my mind, resemble primitive renderings of Simpsons characters.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I always bring up when someone tries to talk to me about the end of the Mayan calendar/apocalypse. How are they supposed to predict/engineer mass catastrophe when they can't even draw in 3 demensions?
