As the days go, the pages continue to be  written about how bad the Chicago Cubs organization sucks.  Is Zambrano finally realizing what the rest of the world already knows?  This team is EMBARRASSING to the rest of the world of baseball.  To us it’s humorous.  To fans, owners, players – it’s embarrassing.  Ok first things first!  SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!  The Cardinals took care of business this weekend in St. Louis and swept the Cubs.

Pujols Back to Back Walkoffs

It’s no secret that Albert Pujols has not been himself this year.  But this series against the Cubs he was alive!  Saturday’s game was a hard fought game.  The Chubbies showed a little fight.  Bottom 11 rolls around and Albert Pujols comes to the plate.  BOOOOOOM.  Outta here.  Walkoff homerun.  Cubs lose!

So after this game manager of the Cubs, Quade, or whatever the heck his name is said he wouldn’t let Pujols beat them again.  At least not for 24 hours.  Ha.  Pujols comes up AGAIN in Sundays game.  Nobody on.  Nobody out.  Game tied in the bottom of the 10th.  So timeout here.  I just laid out the situation for you.  What do you do if you are manager?

1. Make it very very clear to your pitcher to NOT give Pujols anything to hit?
2. Intentionally walk him because you know you will be roasted if Pujols beats you again?
3. Groove a fastball and hope for the best?

Ding Ding Ding.  #3 is the winner.  Pujols destroyed a perfect hitters pitch over the fences for his second walkoff in as many days.  Take a look!

Zambrano Embarrassed By 2011 Cubs

So after the game the fiery Carlos Zambrano clearly wasn’t happy with how things turned out for the sorry Cubs. Listen in to how embarrassed he is with this 2011 Cubs team.

Cubs Suck – The End

I’ll leave you with one thing. That’s 6 in a row losses. It’s pretty safe to start saying, “Wait til Next Year.” Cubs Suck and get your brooms out!!!

As So Taguchi heads back to Japan, we remember his short, yet great legacy with the Cardinals.

Game 2, top of the ninth, tie game. Every Cardinals fan remembers it – October 12th, 2006 – the day So Taguchi put a 98 mile-per-hour fastball into the seats. It was his second home run of the postseason – his fourth of the year. Throughout the year, Taguchi had been an unnoticed utility player who would pinch hit here and there. Over his six year span with the Cardinals, So became a fan favorite, but somehow we lost him. This victory tied the Cardinals with the Mets who would eventually be knocked out. So what is So’s story? How did he come to be the primary part of one of the most important plays in Cardinals history?

So Taguchi began his professional career at age 22 in Japan, playing with the Orix Buffaloes. Taguchi played ten seasons there, hitting just under .300 most years, yet hitting more powerfully with as many as ten home runs in some years. In 2002, the Cardinals offered So, a free agent at the time, an MLB contract which he accepted. Although he was 32 at the time, he began to progress, no matter how you look at it. So’s batting average began to rise, as well as his home run count, RBI’s, and stolen bases. His hardworking, humble attitude quickly garnered more playing time. Now, as So moves back to Japan with his old team that gave him his first chance, we remember how loved he was.

In years when So Taguchi had between 300 and 400 at-bats, he had a batting average of .305. In years he didn’t (not including the Cubs), he averaged below .280. Instead of giving Taguchi the amount of at-bats So needed to be So, they gave him just eleven at-bats the entire year, as if to tell Taguchi: “We don’t want you anymore.” The Cubs quickly killed the MLB career that just seemed to to be getting better with age. As So Taguchi leaves for his hometown, it is bittersweet for any Cardinals fan– we enjoyed having him – but we know it’s time to say goodbye. His legacy was short and sweet – to Cardinals fans, another great hero, who will always have a place in our hearts, and to Cubs fans, another lame excuse, who will always have a place on their excuse list.

Well…another Spring Training is just a few weeks away. And while the Cubs try to figure out where exactly they will hold Spring Training, the Redbirds are making positive moves. By offering a minor league contract and Spring Training invite to former Cub Rich Hill.

Now the last year he pitched for the Cubbies in 07 he went 11-8 with a 3.92 ERA and stuck out 183. While chewing up innings, 195 to be exact, in 32 starts.

Now with the skills this big lefty brings to the table and the ability to work with Duncan and get this kid figured out, we may really have something here. Lets just for fun say this guy goes and gets us 11 or 12 or maybe 13 wins. You add that to what Carp, Waino, Lohse, Penny will do. We have a very nice rotation.

So here is my take, Spring Training with Duncan… Rich Hill makes the club and heads north with the team. Has a great year, helps the Cards win the Central in runaway fashion. And the Cubs sit home in October and try to figure out, how they let another kid slip out of the “Completely Useless By September” brand of baseball. And find his way to Cardinals.

And as always…….Keep on Sucking little Cubbies….it’s what you do!!!

What’s better Cub haters and Cub fans?

a) Winning the NL Central and getting swept in the first round of the playoffs?

b) Just sucking in the regular season and saving yourself the embarrassment in the post-season?

That’s a tough question. All I know is the Cubs aren’t dancing in October this year. So what team will Cubs Suck Club jump on board and cheer for? Well, I think that answer is easy. The Cubs hate the Whitesox, Cardinals, Brewers and Astros. With the Cardinals being the only team left – let’s all jump on board and root for the Redbirds. How bad would that burn to be a Cubs fan and see the STL Cardinals win 2 World Series in 3-4 years. Ouch. Another angle is, remember last year, when the Cubs got swept and completely embarrassed by the Dodgers? How would this reflect on the Cubs if the Dodgers just got blasted this year? Moral of the story – if you don’t have a team in the postseason and hate the Cubs – cheer for the Cardinals!

BET ON THE CARDINALS TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES

You know what a Cardinal can do that a Cub will never do?

Answer: Whistle through his pecker!! And win championships!
