Believe?


I can't believe I did it. I can't believe I went & fell for the same crap a million Cubs fans believe every day. I actually thought they would produce in the post season. What a fool I was. I mean I never thought World Series but I was at least hoping for NLCS. What a kick in the balls. A sweep!? What happened! How did I fall for this gimmick? I should have trusted my Cardinal instinct & known the Cubs would find a way to blow it & sure enough I would have been right. For that matter how does your average run of the mill Cub fan deal with this dejection year after year and why do they remain loyal to a team dubbed "lovable losers"? I hear the Devil Rays bandwagon has room...might be time to jump ship. Think of the heartache you'll save yourself. I mean the Cards sucked through most of the 90's and I was in agony. Finally I was rewarded for loyalty with the 2006 World Series Championship but for the Cubs I guess you just have to "Wait until next year" as they say...every year.

Cardinals out of the Playoffs



Well I guess it has been official for a while now but the St. Louis Cardinals are officially out of the Playoffs for the first time in a long time. There will be no repeat for the 2006 World Series Champions. Losing all of your starting pitching and having mediocre years from your star players will do that to a team. As far as the future goes, I think LaRussa's out, Eckstein wants to stay, Izzy wants to stay, Pujols & Rolen are locked for a while, hopefully Edmonds retires and the Cards finally decide to get off their ass and make some off season transactions. Still it is upsetting that my baseball season is over (by that I mean I have no interest in watching any of the other teams) I guess I will root for the (shudder) Cubs seeing as how they are representing my division although I kinda of like the Phillies too. As far as the AL goes who cares? I never watch AL baseball until the world series. I'm fed up with Yankee/Red Sox hype like they are the only good teams in the league. So here's hoping the playoffs are as good this year as they were last year.

Daughter, Country, Star Wars


Y'know I love my daughters, I love my country, & I love Star Wars but to ever commit all three of these into a full back tattoo is just...wrong. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when this guy described what he wanted to his tattoo artist. I'm sure he thought it was a great idea.

756


Some douche drops a shitbag of cash for Bonds 756th homerun ball, has a poll to decide what to do with it & the winning choice was to brand an asterisk on it then send it to cooperstown. The other choices were to send it to the Hall of Fame or, the only sensible choice, make it a real "rocket into space!" Like I've said I'm no Barry fan but I'll defend the guy for being a great ball player. Do you think the Hall of Fame will accept this ball? Is this justice? I'll bet Barry doesn't give a rat's ass and for the most part I don't either BUT...if someday I manage to make the trip to Cooperstown to show my kids cool baseball shit, I don't want some fucker's publicity stunt mucking up my experience. If you don't like Bonds fine but the record stands and is baseball history that in my opinion shouldn't get this treatment. Steroids suck it's true but I doubt they ever prove Bonds did them.
