Hello boys, and happy baseball season. I wanted to remind you that you can follow your favorite team (except you Bodie) by visiting www.cubscafe.blogspot.com. You'll enjoy (or be infuriated by) my insights into all things Cubs. Feel free to leave lots of comments. It will look like people actual read what I write.
As a special bonus, I am beta testing (that sounds so cool) a Brewers blog. There are currently some glitches with the site (like displaying the profile from my Cubs blog), but I'm working on them. Read about your favorite Milwaukee National League Baseball Club at www.brewersbuzz.blogspot.com
Bodie, I don't follow the White Sox so I'm afraid I don't have anything for you. Why don't you read about the Cubs and maybe we can lure you away from the dark side.

I haven't given a damn about baseball since the last strike. The whole steroid thing has only piled on to my apathy for the sport. For me, it's all about golf until the NFL season opens up.
Lou,
You should be afraid of the White Sox. I got tickets to a couple of the Sox-Cubs' games this year so I guess I'll be able to add in my comments after the Cubs take a whippin' in the those games.
Don't worry because if the Cubs make the playoffs I'll jump on the bandwagon because playoff baseball, no matter where it is in Chicago, is great baseball. I want to see the trifecta of champs in the Sox, Bulls and Cubs in my lifetime. I won't live long enough for the Blackhawks to make it.
Bill, you've given up on baseball? That surprises me. You were always such a big fan.
One thing I don't understand about your comment is how you have turned away from baseball in part because of the steroid problems, but you follow the NFL despite steroids. Where's the consistency?
Lou,
Earlier in the winter I was looking through jobs and I saw one that we both probably would have loved if we didn't have a family that liked to eat and have a roof over their heads.
MLB had a stats company that was looking for someone to go to every Cubs (or Sox) game and keep the pitching stats, fielding, hitting and scoring for them.
What a life, watch games all summer and get paid for it.
Football @ steroids...A marriage made in chemical heaven. Who wants to watch a bunch of puny guys trying to knock the shit out of each other? Baseball...if you can't get it done on booze and speed, you got no business in the game!
Probably the reason I like football so much is that the owners still have the upper hand. If a player isn't getting it done, he's got problems. If a baseball player strings together a few good games, he liable to be making $20 mil a season for the next 10 years, no matter how bad he starts screwing up.
Louis,
Why don't you look into doing some writing for a baseball team of some kind?? The husband of a women I work with wrote articles for a web publication for the Independent league which evetually led to a PR job with an Independent league team in the area here. Related to Bode's comment about eating and having a roof over your head, you are not going to make a million bucks but hey, if you enjoy the work it could be a good part time gig.
P.S. Are we still going to try and get together sometime at the end of April??
P.S.S. Hey Bode, did you guys get caught in that storm driving home last Saturday?? We were driving back on 88 and I could barely see the road from just after Aurora until we about hit 355. Yikes!!!
I am somewhat in agrrement with WFB. I am getting sort of tired of the modern day athelete and their whining/bad conduct/drug use, etc. I still enjoy watching but it gets very tiresome after a while.
P.S. Hey WFB,
Did you get the CD from Kenny J a few weeks back?? If so what was on it?? Just curious...
Bode -- Funny you should mention that job. I actually applied for the sports reporter position (twice). I never heard anything back from them. I was willing to follow just about any team. With the agency, I could be gone a lot, and the money from the reporting job would have been on top of what I'm making at the agency. It could have been fun, but I apparently wasn't what they were looking for.
Not sure where I am supposed to leave new comments. Left this first in the last post, as an answer to queebs question. I sent Wild Bill and Lou different things-although one thing in common was Bill Shatner-I love that CD. Produced by Ben Folds-with Joe Jackson. Anyway, Wild Bill, I apprecriate your CD's. I am all over the Drive By Truckers-they recorded their last CD here in NC with Mitch Easter-in his studio. He was the early influence on REM. I needed some more Spoon-had it written down on a sheet of paper to find more Spoon. Sorry to be out for awhile-went to Black Mountain, NC-for a few days. In case you didn't know, I AM THE WINNER!!!
