Hell Freezes Over – Cubs Still Lack Pennant
Unaware that the world had ended Cub fans appeared jubilant at Wrigley Field yesterday while taking pictures of the Grim Reaper. Nearly three months after the last out of the Cub season fans continued to cling to hope that “2008 is the year!” When informed that it was now 2009 one fan simply screamed “Woo-Woo!” and walked away.
“Boy, Alfonso Soriano sure looks different up close, doesn’t he?”
“Outdoors….indoors…ez matter not. We still keek Chicago’s ass.”
“Buy me some peanuts and octopus…”
“…yeah, we know the Cubs need a hitter and the free agent market is a little thin, but….”
“GM Jim Landry introduces the Cubs big free agent signing for 2009…”
Fan: “Psst Chelios, if I give you this goat will you go into the locker room and sacrifice it?”
“Hey, you’re not Chelios! You’re Steve Bartman!…KILL HIM!!!
“Boy, is Lou Pinella gonna be pissed when he sees the new closer.”
Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios is cheered by Cubs fans after his jarring bodycheck of Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui prevented what would have been a game-winning catch for the Yanks. Chelios later scored the winning run when Catcher Jorge Posada lost both the ball and his hand as Chelios crossed the plate.
“You’re standing on the proposed gravesite of the Cub’s fan who caught that foul ball. So any of you yahoos that want to catch a puck today, remember that!”
The Icemen Cometh
“Hey hosers! How do you like us playin’ hockey on a baseball field, eh?”
Even with a different sport being played at Wrigley there still was no chance of a pennant being won.
Chelios: Black Hawks? I thought we were playing the Black Sox. Shit, I’ll need more money.
Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice,
pull down your pants, and slide on the ice.
Who Said ” Suck A Puck You Smuck?”
“How much for that one’s stem cells? … What, you think I’m still playing at age 46 because I eat healthy and exercise regularly?”
