Kerry Wood: Arsonist

The Brewers, Cubs and 40,000 fans were all equally lucky to get out of Wrigley alive yesterday afternoon as an inferno raged. The arsonist Kerry Woods struck again, burning Wrigley down. I personally and thoroughly enjoyed the wailing and gnashing of teeth of Cubs fans burning alive, from my perch 300 miles to the north.

Seriously, does anyone REALLY thing Gagne is that much worse than Wood? Admittedly, Gagne has made a few games a little more exciting than he needed to, and blew a couple, but I think overall he's been pretty effective.

Wood is a mere apprentice. He could only hope to be half as good at what he does when compared to Mr. Gas Can himself Derrick Turnbow. Actually, Turnbow is beyond combustible. He causes cancer. It's true!

Proof that Cubs fans are terrible people...

*Author's note: This is a semi-old story, however it wasn't very well publicized so I'm putting it in anyways*

Kosuke Fukudome is a tremendous athlete. He sees the ball very well, he eats pitch counts, he has power, he's not a liability on defense and he's even shown a little speed from time to time. He could very well be the difference maker between the Cubs only winning the division last year, to them winning a NL pennant and advancing to the World Series. Surely the Cubs fans must be grateful to have this athlete, whom they acquired as a free agent signing, i.e. they had to give up no one to put him on their team.

The photograph I've included is a picture of a T-shirt sold by a vendor outside of Wrigley Field. The Sun-Times ran an article about it on April 18th and were immediately flooded by angry e-mails from readers. The next day Cubs officials asked the vendor to stop selling the t-shirt, using the argument that it contained a copyrighted logo. However before he was asked to stop selling the shirt, the vendor, Mark Kolbusz, claimed it was his top selling item so far this season.

Just goes to show you the level of appreciation Cubs fans have for their players...
