The Cubs are in first place and it’s almost September! Way to go Cubbies. Cub fans will be drunker than ever as their beloved team marches into October. The pitching, the bats, the defense — their all there and the Cubs are poised to finally make this year, 2007, their year.
Stand aside Cardinal Nation, the Chicago Cubs are on their way to a World Series. Today the Central, tomorrow the world. Harry might even come back from the dead to see this happen. The Cubs are going all the way!
Speaking purely as a baseball fan here, I think it is safe to say that the Brewers are on their way out. They are here in AZ (oddly enough the headquarters for this Cubs/Cardinals blog) to face the Diamondbacks, who just happen to be the best team in the NL these days. The Brewers are doing what we all thought they would do eventually - drink too much of that peewater beer they make up there and fall stumbling drunk out of first place.
Thankfully, now the real teams can take over.
The Cardinals take on Florida and the Cubs head west to face HR king [Douche] Baggy Bonds and his merry band of Giants. Now it is anybody’s race in the Central. The Cardinal pitching staff has finally figured out how to not give up touchdowns and the bats, while still not what they used to be, are coming alive at the right times more often than they were earlier in the year.
One thing the Cardinals have that the Cubs don’t is winning experience. That could very well be the difference in the end, beautiful friend. The Cubs have not known how to win since the glory days of Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance — and nobody reading this site was alive when those glory days were in progress (if you were, please leave a comment because you’re like 100 years old or older and we need the publicity).
The Cardinals start a road trip today; first against Milwaukee and then down to face the rival and reason for this website: the Cubs. By this time next week, the Cardinals will be in first place. Since the NFL preseason has started, all the Cubs fans are back to being Bears fans, so nobody in Chicago will notice as the Cubs take their usual August plunge into the Wrigleyville crapper.
Yeah, that’s about it. Screw the Brewers and thanks for reading.
Hey everybody, Harry Caray here. Did you see Bobby Bonds hit his gazillinth home run last night. He broke Babe Ruth’s record for most HR’s. Holy cow that was something else. I once had a couple ice cold Budweisers with Babe Ruth. He kinda reminded me of Santa Claus. Do you know who Santa Claus is? He delivers candy to all the good boys and girls on Easter.
The other day I was watching the movie Ghost. Have you seen it? Tom Hanks won an Oscar in it. That Tom Hanks is a great actor. Well it gave me the idea to go back to earth inside a soldier in the Middle East and mess with some of those Iraqi’s.
Luckily YouTube was there to film it so you can see it. Have you heard of YouTube? I found it on my computer. It’s probably on yours too. My best friend Steve Stone started YouTube……

Tony La Russa is considering a radical new program that would ration the offensive production of the Cardinals in an effort to spread the highest offensive production days over several games. Currently, the Cardinals tend to produce a substantial amount of runs in a short time (such as last night’s 10-consecutive hits in one inning), or they produce none at all and lose by two touchdowns to shit teams like the Pirates and Nationals.
“We are considering a plan that would help distribute runs across several games, kind of like one of those cell phone plans that lets you use your un-used minutes the next month,” said the Cardinal skipper. “We have some nights where we explode for 10 runs and win 10-2. The next night we give up 10 and lose. We think if we can spread those runs across the games, it would help get us a few more critical wins.”
With the Cardinals’ on-again, off-again offensive production this year, it seems like a plan that is catching on with the players and fans. Cardinals third baseman Scott Rolen agrees “This plan helps guys like me who only drive in runs after we have a lead of four runs or more. You don’t see me out there driving in runs when we are down by a few. No, this year, I only hit when the rest of the guys are hitting, otherwise, my bat is silent. Sorry, I can’t talk any more, my shoulder is killing me.”
