thanks bruce.

 

3 huh?

 

Here's the thing: Sometimes you've got to go out on a limb. In '05, having watched the Cubs-Astros finish the regular season, I thought the 'Stros bullpen was pretty vulnerable. So I toyed with picking the White Sox in four in the Serious. But I chickened out and played it safe with picking the Sox in 5. So, what the heck, let's go with a Cubs sweep.

 

BTW, I've got a great right-hand man helping me in Tim Sassone. He's our Blackhawks writer and a nominee for the writers' wing of the hockey Hall of Fame. Check out his stuff on our page. Tim does a great, great job.

If he has the Hawks winning the Central I'll know you two have either spent too much time in the sun or the bars. Wait a minute, does this mean nobody is minding the ship up there in Minnesota for Thursday's game?

We'll have somebody else in Minny. I think Tim has the Hawks 11th in the West or the Campbell or whatever they call the conference nowadays. Being a hockey fan myself, all I can say is: Drop the puck!!

Saw you in the Bartman clip on ESPN there Bruce. Did you really HAVE to?? :P

 

Actually, yes. I was part of ESPN's "Five Reasons You Can't Blame Bartman" special. I hated to see this kid get tarred and feathered. Alex Gonzalez ought to send Bartman Christmas cards every year. The thing I hate about the networks is their fascination with Bartman and the goat.

It's safe to say every Cubs fan feels this way, and we're only going to get bombarded with it all this postseason.

Yep, I guarantee you that the goat and Bartman will be mentioned within the first 2 minutes of the pregame.

That right there makes you one of my favorite sportswriters in the city.

 

I'd give you a show if I had the power 8-)

And every 2 minutes after that.

It has really started up the past few days. It reminds me why I used to pity Red Sox fans with the non-stop curse talk.

I wouldn't be surprised if TBS had a 2 minute ticker at the bottom of their screen so that when it got to 0 they would be obligated to mention Bartman and the Goat.

They'll have a banner at the bottom to relay stats and scores, and after each one a goat will run across to wipe it clean.

 

Every commercial break a goat head and some Bartmans on sticks pop up above the score and the word "CURSE!" appears across the Cubs name on the scoreboard.

 

Oh no, there's no limit to how far they will stoop.

I've said ever since that day that Gonzalez should be giving Bartman his paychecks for the rest of his career.

 

BTW - on your blog bio, it says you frequent Cubs message boards. Funny...I don't remember seeing you on any...
