Well, Michael Barrett over the weekend sucker punched AJ Pierzynski in the face, uniting the whole Cubs team and completely turning our season around. Right? Not so much. It was an overreaction on Barrett’s part, and he should clearly be suspended, thereby removing one of the only solid hitters on the Cubs and replacing him …
I Knew It!!
Would only be a matter of time before we got to hear the Cubs management or press say “We’re not out of it yet, just look at what happened with the Astros last year.” This time it was Carrie Muskat who said it. I used to really like Carrie, but she has totally turned into …
How’s the Weather at the End of Time?
Another new song. Probably some of the more interesting/strange lyrics I’ve written. So I figured I’d give it an interesting/strange title to go with it. How’s the Weather at the End of Time? The smell of spring The dewy cling to my skin The sense of change Yet I end up here every year Well, …
The D-Lee Effect

Me Neither, I Was Just Asking
Do you ever smell the pants you’ve been wearing for three straight days, think “hmmm, borderline,” then put them back on and wear them for two more days? Me neither, I was just asking.

The Draft
Well, I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for the NFL Draft. And this is even a draft where the Bears are not going to do the slightest interesting thing, and I’m still excited. My tivo’s all setup to record the first two hours, and then probably from there I just want …

Hey look at those sexy dudes in the April edition of Revue.
Cubs Onion Article
Dusty Baker Not Worried About Cubs Hot Start How true, how true. Let’s hope they don’t get back to form too soon.
This is Beer
If you’ve been checking my blog for any length of time, you know my penchant for complaining about commercials (maybe I should start a new category). Well here’s another one. Budweiser is currently running a radio ad that absolutely blows my mind. It’s just a song that plays, and I searched for the entire lyrics, …
