Weaver On Strategy. Precursor to Moneyball in terms of great baseball wisdom. It was on the Christmas list, but twas out of stock. I'll pick it up very soon and you should too. Roger Bresnahan invented HTML? Whoa!

Hubie Brown is the best color man in basketball, Steve Stone is the best in baseball. I think Marv Albert and Hubie Brown would be a good duo. I like Marv. I really do. Plus, I feel for him, as he, just like Steve Stone and, to an extent, myself, have been punished for speaking the truth. Though his relationship with Mike Fratello on the TNT broadcasts got to be a little much sometimes. "Czar, lick my anus." You can almost hear him say it.

Goofus cites John Belushi as his role model.

We got a fair dusting this morning, maybe about an inch. The last few years, I think it's been pretty mild for December around Chicago. (And yeah I remember '98.) But still, we haven't had a great deal of snow in what seems like forever. Chicago used to get more blizzards than a Dairy Queen clerk abusing his employee discount, but New Year's Eve has been in the high 40s two years running.

I don't like wearing the C in baseball. But that's because Sammy Sosa has made it such a damn problem here.

How do you guys feel about Jim Hendry? I'm reserving complete judgment until he unloads Sammy, but he got us Nomar Garciaparra for Alex Gonzalez, essentially, and picked up a lot of guys in 2003 that were instrumental in getting us as far as we got.

Looks like the Lakers couldn't squeeze in the win like the Packers did. Can't win em all, VX

haha go vikes packers suck I want to taunt miserable cheeseheads

I love Big Ten or ACC basketball, but man, college football, I'm just not feelin' it.

Goo Goo Dolls and/or Matchbox Twenty

FUCK

H0T CUBZ NEWS~! We re-signed Jose Macias. Yeah, these Cubs are a team to watch.

I'm with you completely, man, the Cubs best get steppin'. Jason Dubois is a bench player for 2005, platoon at best. He is not the full-time solution in left field. We need a bench, we need a bullpen, we're getting neither, and time is running out. Also, we need Carlos Beltran.

Yeah punched him right in the gut, and I tihnk kicked him while he was down?

Jamal Lewis is running like the cops are after him!....again! TEN THOUSAND POSTS BIATCHES

Sweet, delicious pork.

Sprained wrist, he's not out of the game though.

Not hard enough, it seems, because he's still alive.

Then just hit mute now, Marvin

Manning's record isn't as important as my record tonight. I'm about to hit 10,000 posts, provided that Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens don't get in my way. Maybe he likes his job and wants to play because he enjoys the game.

The FCC isn't gonna be happy about that.

What's the matter, kiddo, Kris Benson and Pedro Martinez wasn't enough wasteful spending for you? Cheer up!

To me, the A's just won't be the A's if they're not playing in that gaping concrete bowl we call the Oakland Coliseum. They can't play in a retro-facade, small-and-irregular-dimension park, it's gotta be the Coliseum.

Where's the obligatory reminder that Time's "Man Of The Year" does not mean the best, or most admirable person, but simply the most influential? After all, Adolf Hitler won Man Of The Year.

He's just bitter because the Bush Presidency will have lasted approximately 27 times as long as his talk show.
