I'm Gonna Celebrate Today














Maybe not with champagne, but if Cubs fans can go absolutely bat-crazy yesterday over Theo Day then I sure as hell can be celebrate. I may go off my diet today and have cake- but that will be birthday cake for the world's greatest nephew's birthday!

Today's Birthday Girl- Katy Perry!!































Haven't done this for awhile, but Katy deserve some exposure.

Cubbies Celebrate Theo Day!!!!



I will do my best to make this a Theo-free zone for the rest of the day.

Hey Tony, Ozzie Made Sure He Had the Right Reliever Coming Out of the Bullpen


Not a great game for the "great" manager Tony LaRussa. Problems with the bullpen plus bad run management (you need 2 runs in the 9th to tie, so you hit and run?).
I guess Tony's micro-management got the Cards to the World Series, so you can't change now. Win or lose.

Tuesday Morning Thoughts






1. Palmer to the Bengals for a first next year and a conditional first the following year!!That's a ton to give up (comparable to what the Bears gave up for Cutler) for someone who hasn't played this season. Will he be ready to play after the bye-week. He better be. I would like nothing more than to have this work for the Raiders and the Bengals get the worst picks possible.

2. Theo - Cubs deal not done. God forbid the Cubs give up Matt Garza! Really!?! I understand the rationale that why give the Red Sox anything valuable- the Red Sox will give in eventually because the Red Sox will not pay Theo this season just to hang around. But, to state there is no way you give up Matt Garza!? Did Matt Garza have a Cy Young season and I missed it? Garza is more valuable to the Red Sox than the Cubs (familiar with the AL Ease), but really stop making Matt Garza out to be Verlander!!

Cards- Rangers World Series








So far, I've picked each post-season series correctly (Granted I picked the Rangers and the Cards because I was sick of the Wisconsin/Milwaukee and Detroit "ruling the sports world" talk!).
First, some huge credit of Tony LaRussa, whom I have often called overrated. Well this year he deserves all the credit he gets.
Gotta think that this the Rangers should be a prohibitive favor. But the Cards have home-field advantage and a rested Chris Carpenter in game 1. I will wait till I see the projected pitching match-ups for my official pick, but right now I am going with the Rangers in 6.

Devin Hester Adds to Hall of Fame Resume


Apparently the Vikings coaching staff shares the same belief as HM and some other Minnesota readers that Devin Hester is not a Hall of Famer, so what the heck-just kick to him. With the new kick-off rules, just about any NFL kicker should kick into the endzone everytime. Watching the game, as soon as I saw Devin having to come out of the endzone to catch the ball, I screamed "Are you freakin' kidding me?" Once Devin caught the ball, I knew that there was about an 80% chance that he was another TD and at worst a decent return of about 30-40 yards. Sure enough, history was made (With each TD, Devin just adds to his record of kick returns for TDs.) But if not bad enough for the Vikes, on their next punt, what does Kluwe do? Apparently not happy with the boos he heard previously, kicks it directly to Devin, which he almost broke free for another TD.
To top it off, Devin may have had his best game as a receiver. Maybe the Bears can play him occasionally at DB (something he did at the University of Miami), he can add an interception return for TD to his resume.
Victory Monday is always enjoyable, even over a bad team. A bad team that I will be rootign for next week. "Go Vikes, Play your game! Beat the Packers." (One can dream, right?)
