The whole thing pretty much slams the Cubs while praising the White Sox. Now I hate this guy as much as anybody, but hey if he wants to write pieces about how much the Cubs suck and how well we are doing, can't hurt....

Moronotti is a worse flip-flopper than John Kerry.

Exactly, just watch if the Sox don't set the baseball world on fire in April how quickly he'll be bashing KW and JR about making too many changes to a team that had won the WS. Too predictable to even be fun any more.

I love this one:

 

Even when catcher Michael Barrett tried to praise the Pierre acquisition, it struck a bad note. "I hate to bring up the White Sox,'' he said, "but Scott Podsednik completely changed the complexion of that team as a leadoff hitter.''

 

"BOOOOOOOOOO!'' Cubdom replied.

 

Hilarious. Go Cubbies, maybe you can be the 2nd best team in your Division this year, but I doubt it.

Everything White Sox is being booed at the Clown Convention apparently. Great to hear, so much for "they don't care about the White Sox".

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Actually, that theory died during the playoffs. Basically every Cub fan I knew had a close eye on the games and were completely demoralized after every playoff win.

 

I gets the feeling that Cub fans are gonna be awfully quiet during the Sox/Cubs games this year.

By the way, what the f*** is Bobby Howry's problem?

 

New Cub Howry still taking shots at Sox

 

"They don't have four No. 1 [starters]," Howry said of the Sox. "Not to take anything away from them; they pitched great last year. But they had some guys that put up career years. If you look at guys who put up numbers consistently year after year and have the stuff ... that staff doesn't match up with this one. When both staffs are healthy, I think our staff takes the cake."

 

Who pissed in his cereal? This ain't the first time he's said s*** like this.

Haha, Howry hates us. He talked s*** about Sox fans when he was with the Indians last season.

Now I hope Howry has a career-ending injury. The guy just won't give it up. A nice line drive off the schnozz would be nice for this douche.

what an idiot.

I don't know where Howry gets off talking about career years with our players where he had one himself.

 

I'm sure this will be spinned as Howry "livening up the inner city rivalry."

 

Meanwhile, if roles were reversed and any of our players said this it would be labeled "jealousy."

 

Odd--I thought Cub players and fan didn't concern themselves with the White Sox? Even though our team has been continually mentioned by fans during Q&A sessions, as well as interviews with players.

I cant wait until Thome turns one of his fastballs around in Wrigley. Thome always seemed to do that s*** to us when he was with Cleveland if a White Sox player got chirpy in the paper before a series.

 

"When both staffs are healthy, I think our staff takes the cake."

 

Cubs fans and players have been saying this s*** for years. "When healthy...." blahblahblah. Get back to me when you are healthy and positive news isnt "Kerry Wood played catch today for the first time in 6 months...."

Howry's use of the term "career years" is absolutely ridiculous. I see a "career year" as being someone winning 20 plus games and never having a history of winning before. Everyoone of the Sox pitchers has a posiitve past with solid agreeemnt that they were going to mature into aces. We have 5 #1 starters and maybe 6 on this staff. You can put that on the board Bobbie Howry!

When alive, Babe Ruth matches up with any hitter today.

Some more priceless stuff from the Cub Convention today...

 

Baker, Hendry go on fans' firing line

The first awkward occasion occurred when one particularly long-winded blogger groused that White Sox GM Ken Williams and manager Ozzie Guillen were "smoking cigars with their feet up and laughing at us, laughing at you guys, laughing at the North Side."

Howry is a f*** and overrated, he will fit right in with the Cubs. BTW, a bit random, but why are Cubs fans so obsessed with OBP and stats of that variety? I swear they are more picky than Billy Beane about that stuff, they are believers in the mighty idea that has won 0 playoff series though, that's for sure.

I knew Cubs fans who started out acting happy for the Sox, but after the Boston series and they looked for real began to root against the Sox and were demoralized after every Sox win.

 

by the way, your signature is the one episode of Arrested Development I've watched, and the funniest episode of anything I've seen in a while.

This f***ball has been running that hole in his face since he left the Sox. Bitter prick, I hope we hammer his b**** ass when we face him.

Amazing show that nobody watches. About to get cancelled. I felt like I'd be doing a disservice as a fan if I didn't make an attempt, no matter how miniscule, to get the word out. By the way, the time it shows in my sig is wrong. Mondays at 7:00pm.

 

But thats enough show pimping for one night.

Hahaha Howry you f***ing douce bag. I hope you get f***ing light up this year.

 

What an assface...

that's unfortunate, I'll have to watch it this Monday (it's the season finale, I think that's what they said on Conan O'Brien) and look for re-runs.

Baker's awkward moment came minutes later, when a perturbed fan drew applause for criticizing the manager's game strategy.

 

"I swear to God, I don't understand why you've never heard of a squeeze bunt in your life," the fan said. "A manager has a chance to have a direct impact on 10-15 games a season, and I don't think we won one of them last year.

 

"Cubs fans make a commitment to you guys every year. It's time you guys make a commitment to us."

 

"Thank you," Baker replied

 

Ha!

Well, if you actually plan on watching it, I must warn you that Fox (consistantly giving more reasons to hate them) keeps jerking the show around. They keep saying that it will run out the last few episodes, but they aren't saying when.

 

If you really wanna know more, PM me. Otherwise, back to the topic at hand.
