Clubhouse Cancer

Ted Lilly is a real man.

 

 

How about that Theodore Roosevelt Lilly? First, he gets knocked on his ass by a vicious line drive and then the next time at-bat he tries to leg out a bunt for his first hit of the season. All this while rumors swirl of his eventual (if not inevitable) departure to a contender. Did you know that there is no theory of evolution? Just a list of creatures Ted Lilly has allowed to live. Ted Lilly counted to infinity – twice. Some people wear Superman pajamas…Superman wears Ted Lilly pajamas.

Then, Teddy finally got that elusive hit. Now, he can be traded to a National League team!

Aramis Ramirez’ 3 home runs lead Cubs comeback and offensive explosion.

 

 

I’m glad I never jumped on the ‘ditch Aramis Ramirez’ bandwagon. I said that a guy of his stature gets to suck for an entire season plus before changes need to be made. Or something like that. I never remember what crap I write. Like, I know somewhere I predicted that Lou would announce his retirement yet finish the season, but can’t find it to save my damn life. But I said it. Oh yes.

It was very nice not to see the Cubs lay down and die after being down 7-1 early. This is the offense we always knew they had. Unfortunately, this lovely little offensive resurgence is coinciding not-so-nicely with the total collapse of the starting pitching.  Comme ci, comme ca.

Now that Lou is definitely gone at season’s end, this is a good time for guys fighting for at-bats to audition for the ex-big league manager who sees them every day and is itching to get back into the skipper role, Bob Brenly Alan Trammell.
