Say it ain't so Rog

On April 28, 2008, the New York Daily News reported on a possible long-term relationship between McCready and baseball star Roger Clemens that began when she was 15 years old

she also has a very impressive rap sheet

I think I am dreaming

I don't know if any one watched the Cubs play the Mets last night but what a fucking great game.

So many things right now feel like a dream I am afraid I am going to wake up soon.

Who ever replace Big Z's brain with a portion of Mad Dog's. Thank you from the bottom of heart and the depths of my soul.

"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said. "He told me one time he preferred to throw more sinkers, more movement than velocity.

"Anytime I want to throw 95 or 96 (m.p.h.), I can throw it. But it's not how hard you throw in the big leagues. It's how you locate your pitches and learn to pitch the game."

"We have everything this year," Zambrano said. "We can take it to where we want to go. When you talk about the Cubs, it’s defense, but its offense, pitching, good bullpen. We just have to play smart."

Please don't pinch me I am in deep REM and dreaming about a mature Big Z that can be the #1 starter, a leader on the team, a bonus to the club house/chemistry and dominate batters at will. At the same time Kerry Wood is becoming one the most dominate closers in baseball. He seems at ease with this new role and has an aura of a closer. He walks out on the mound and it’s fucking game over baby.

While having this dream with a smile on my face a single tear of joy rolls down my cheek.

Also in this dream we play good team baseball, only make a few errors, run good bases, sprinkle in a few steals, show patience at the plate. Make opposing pitchers work and see a lot of pitches. Force teams into there bull pens early with high pitch counts.

The Cubs led the National League with a .366 on-base percentage on Monday.

Kosuke Fukudome, who leads the league in pitches seen per plate appearance (4.58), led all Cubs regulars with a .442 OBP going into Monday's game against the Mets, followed by Geovany Soto (.437), Mark DeRosa (.425), Derrek Lee (.419), Reed Johnson (.418) and Ryan Theriot (.408).

I am sure this stat is even better after last night against the Mets.

Oh and the young promising talent finally pulls there heads out of there collective asses and nock in 5 runs with some solid hitting. Thank you Ronny and Felix for your fantastic late at bats. That was a slam the door shut, step on the fucking throats, fucking awesome hitting. Don’t beat them break them. Just awesome.

I wake up feeling a warm glow of Cub goodness, with skip in my step and whistling.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my what a wonderful day!
Plenty of sunshine heading my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay

Mister Bluebird on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's actch'll
Ev'rything is satisfactch'll
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!


I hope I have more dreams like that one.

Go Cubs!

I say we win 9 or 10.
What do you think?

Cubs win 5 in a row!

Is no one watching baseball! The Cub are looking very un Cub like. We have already swept a series and have won 5 in a row. I don’t think that has happened to me in my lifetime for the start of a season.

We won in spite of ourselves and we never do THAT! The two marathon games that we usually lose we won. We are trying to break the stranded on base record again; in two games we stranded 28 batters! How the fuck do you strand 28 batters. The good news is we still won.

If we can get our starting pitching worked out and find a true lead off hitter. Get either a stud second basemen or short. We will be set to make a run. It maybe to early but I am feeling really good about my Cub. Of course I am a Cub fan so I am a little soft in the head.

I am liking my chances of getting on TV for the Cubs Washington game April 25th thru 27th. I will be with 5 buddies and my cousin, who is a hot little blond. Look for the the six idiots in right field wearing hachimaki’s(Japanese head bands that says stuff. I have picked out six that say “Number 1, Fighting Spirit and Victory”.

Hockey Fever - Contract It!

Ah, It's that time of year. The snow is finally gone, flowers are popping up everywhere, the Cubs still haven't have broken my heart, and I finally can give a shit about the NHL.

Yup, Tonight marks the beginning of the race for the Stanley Cup. Since 99.999% of the population cares even less about the NHL than I do, here's my rooting guide for the 2008 NHL playoffs:

Montreal Canadians -vs- Boston Bruins
Oh, boy! This is gonna be a series to watch. These two teams fucking HATE each other. I'd like to pick the Bruins out of sentimentality, but they are way outgunned by Montreal.

Washington Capitals -vs- Philadelphia Flyers
I can't decide if I like Ovechkin more than I hate (Caps owner) Leonsis. It's a tough one. The Capitals are the better team, but I'm going with Philly as a "fuck you" to AOL Boy.

Detroit Red Wings -vs- Nashville Predators
Normally I'd be all over a chance to piss on the Red Wings, but my hatred for Nashville is even greater. This November the city of Nashville finally killed the move of the Predators to Ontario (which I saw as one of the first steps in reforming the sorry state of the NHL). So now another city that has zero business in having a NHL franchise keeps on dragging down the sport, and I have to throw out a pick for the Maxi-Pad brigade.

Minnesota Wild -vs- Colorado Avalanche
I'm still pissed at Minnesota for letting the Northstars escape to Dallas (see below). I'm holding that grudge to this day, and picking the ex-Nordiques (Colorado) to pull the upset in this series.

Pittsburgh Penguins -vs- Ottawa Senators
Hey, It's a re-match from last year's playoffs. In 2007 the Senators looked invincible - Right now they're practically invisible. I'm going with the Flightless Sea Birds.

New Jersey Devils -vs- New York Rangers
I'm still crestfallen that Jersey didn't pick up Šatan as their left winger after he left Buffalo. Still, I'm not gonna hold that against 'em. I like the Devils. (insert Ronnie James Dio scream here)

San Jose Sharks -vs- Calgary Flames
Flames! No question. Next!

Anaheim Ducks -vs- Dallas Stars
Oh, great. My two most hated teams in the pantheon of sports.
I have to chose one? Really?
I'm picking the lesser of 2 evils with the Stars, but hoping for a terrorist bombing.

Keep in mind this is my ROOTING guide. I've given up on picking winners after the fucking Mighty Ducks won it last year.
Cocksuckers.
Remember, it doesn't matter who wins - All that matters is who loses (namely Aneheim, Dallas, San Jose, & Nashville).

100th Post

Holy Cow!

I can't believe that KfS is up to its 100th post. When I started up this blog last fall, I was half-expecting it to fade into digital ephemera once I lost interest. Granted, I haven't posted since the end of football season, but the bullpen is rocking.

Way to go guys - I'm proud of ya.

Fukudome is Fuking Fuk-an-A AWSOME!

25 at bats, 11 hits, one homer, 6 RBI’s, batting a 458, on base % 581 and slugging .708. Oh yea a canon for an arm, speed to steal bases and can really work a pitcher into a count.

For once the Fuking hype is right on the Fuking money.

Meat Head is feeling so good he is Turning Japanese!

WTF Sox trash? No comments on your opener? It was a wild one and even I enjoyed the show.
