Yeah, the Jersey City Colored Athletics shirt seemed a wee bit inappropriate.
Well, the fine folks at Google infiltrating our email must've taken note and are trying to pawn off "Horry Kow" tees to us.

The Milwaukee Debacle
I'm still pissed (but I found more internet). So are most people. Here are some clips to prove it.
From Richard Justice, Houston Chronicle:
Neutral field? Are you kidding me? There's ridiculous and more ridiculous and whatever this was supposed to be.
Commissioner Bud Selig should be embarrassed to have thrown a team in the thick of playoff [...]
The Big Z Gets the Big No
We know Carlos Zambrano loves baseball. He must've been chomping at the bit over the past two days with the unknown nature of when/where his next start would take place. His energy level must've been off the chart. Thankfully, he was able to control that energy tonight. And he did it in a big way.9 innings pitched, zero runs, zero hits. That's right, I said zero hits...
Carlos Zambrano: “I’m Back” - No Hitter Reviewed in PITCHf/x

Carlos Zambrano's no-hitter was spectacular. He came out throwing some serious heat, and was still throwing hard in the 9th inning. Carlos attributed this power to improved use of his legs. When asked if he realized he was hitting 98 in the first inning...
Big Zambrano Throws a Unique No Hitter!
This is technically a home game for the Houston Astros - but its being played in Milwaukee where Cubs fans are all over. The game was moved due to Hurricane Ike.

Fire Bob Brenly! update
Fire Bob Brenly! doesn't update very often because I'm not really interested in running another blog with daily content and I try to ignore Bob Brenly as much as possible these days. Unfortunately Bob Brenly has been signed to another presidential term as the Cubs "color analyst."

Hopefully (a huge element of the Cubs fan vocabulary), after throwing 110 adrenaline-packed pitches, Big Z won't need another MRI today, and he won't morph back into Bad Z between now and his next start (against the Cardinals Friday). We need to see a little consistency from him now, not dramatics.
Save those for October, when we'll have planned ahead and stocked up on Xanax.

Cubs win, magic number down to 4
The Cubs handed CC Sabathia his first loss in the NL and it was only the 2nd time the Brewers failed to win in a game he started. The other game the Brewers didn't win when he started was also against the Cubs back in July when the Cubs swept the Brewers in a 4-game series in Milwaukee.
Sportscenter just said that the final pitch to Fielder, a called 3rd strike was a high...
BIG Z NO HITS THE.... Milwaukee Astros....?
Sunday night was a great night for me. For the past 20 years now, I have been watching as many Chicago Cubs games every summer as I possibly could. I became a die-hard fan at a very young age and have suffered through many losing seasons and disappointments as all Cubs fans have. This year, of course, things have been different. Something feels special and unique about these 2008...
