Cubs Fans In Cincinnati Act Like Classless Idiots


It really must be said that a large part of the group of so-called Cub fans who invaded Cincinnati's Great American Ballpark on Tuesday and Wednesday have acted like classless buffoons. 

These clowns bounced into Cincinnati like the Cubs have just won the World Series and beat their chests like a bunch of total morons. Sure, it's easy to dump on a last place team that is obviously struggling big time right now. But these idiots waited until the Cubs pounded the Reds into submission before they broke out their asinine "let's go Cubbies" chants. First of all, they are the Cubs not the Cubbies, you stupid ESPN raised dickheads. Secondly, where were you clowns in 2010-2014 when the Cubs were the laughing stock of the National League? Strangely, your "let's go Cubbies" chants were nowhere to be found.

I have been a Cub fan since 1968 and I must admit these "fair weather" modern Cubs fans truly sicken me. How about showing some class until you actually win something!

What's truly ironic, is that these clowns in Cincinnati were acting just as stupid as the Royals' fans who invaded Wrigley Field on Monday night. Maybe it's a sign of the times, I really don't know. Maybe I'm getting old, but there used to be things like class and sportsmanship!

The Unrelated Segements-Cry Cry Cry (1968) Dedicated to St. Louis Cardinals' TV Crew


St. Louis Cardinals' TV Announcers Crybabies Just Like Their Team


There is a reason why people outside the St. Louis area despise the Cardinals, it's because the whole organization is a pack of paranoid crybabies.

Former manager Tony La Russa started the St. Louis crybaby tradition in the 1990's and it has just gotten worse and worse over the years. The Cardinals seem to always think there are always forces working against them when they lose. The Whiny Birds have had beefs with the Dodgers, Brewers, Cubs, Reds and Pirates. It seems there is always someone dissing the poor Cardinals.

I happened to catch the Cubs-Cardinals game on Fox Sports St. Louis Friday and what I heard all game from the Cardinals "rah rah" announcers Dan McLaughlin and blowhard macho man fool Al Hrabosky was how the umpires were squeezing the strike zone on the poor Cardinal pitchers, BOO HOO! 

Instead of just telling it like it, that Cardinal starter Lance Lynn was all over the place and getting hammered by left handed hitters of late, the Cardinal announcers began blaming the umpires. Lance Lynn even threw a hissy hit from the dugout after he was pulled from the game after 3.1 miserable innings.

Al Hrabosky and McLaughlin would later talk about Starlin Castro being bush league for admiring one of his home runs for a couple of seconds too long. But it was okay, when Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina were pumping their fists in the air  after hitting a double or home run. These Whiny-Birds can sure dish it out but they can't take it.

All of a sudden the St. Louis Cardinals are starting to look very beatable. Their day to day lineup seems a bit on the ordinary side, while their bullpen is looking very shaky. The Cardinals are hearing footsteps and instead of addressing their weaknesses as a team, the Cardinals announcers are playing the victim role they so dearly cherish.

Bad Chicago Cubs Trades: Josh Donaldson For Rich Harden


Jim Hendry will surely go down as the worst GM in Chicago Cubs' history. Even with Hendry long gone, his awful trades and draft picks continue to haunt the Cubs.

Josh Donaldson was a first round pick by the Cubs in 2007 and was part of the trade that brought the Cubs the talented but oft injured pitcher Rich Harden from the Oakland A's. Harden is long gone while Donaldson was an 2015 AL All Star for the Blue Jays, who is currently hitting .301 with 38 homers, 39 doubles and an AL leading 119 RBI's on September 15th. 

Donaldson is a serious AL MVP candidate while Rich Harden and Jim Hendry are just painful memories.
