Those are Z's....

Ah, the Scooter. Sadly, my generation would have never heard of Phil Rizzuto if not for Billy Madison.

Bill Plaschke is a complete dork, but his daughter is hot. If anyone watched Around the Horn yesterday, you could have seen her before she left for Notre Dame. So, last name Plaschke, at Notre Dame; I think we have all the tools to Facebook stalk her.

Of course the Cubs lost to the Reds yesterday and I have a theory. The Cubs are frustratingly bad against the Reds. They are 4-6 this season against Cincinnati. A couple of examples of how brain dead the Cubs were last night: the Reds had 16 hits; Zambrano hit Phillips with an 0-2 softball pitch; Theriot dropped an easy throw that would have been Kendall's first gunned down baserunner; the Cubs had five hits and could not get on base. After all of this, the Reds were still bad enough to almost lose. Fontenot's bomb to right looked like a walk-off. Not to be. Understand the power of the Chris Griffin/Turtle battery.

A few words about Grande and Welsh. Absolutely awful. I am now watching these games just to see how bad they are. Here are a few gems from last night: I can't remember who was batting, but Grande said he 'went around' when he barely moved his bat and once Welsh corrected him he just continued telling an inane story; Derosa moved to right on a double-switch which was not reported and it made me look like an asshole on a text message; Both Grande and Turtle thought that there was a three pitch walk; and he just had to spout out his signature 'He got it!'x2 when Norris Hopper routinely caught the game-winning fly ball. Only the immortal Don Russell was a worse announcer...or Rob Bromley.

One more thing, Bobby Cox became the whiniest bitch in baseball history last night.

Grande & Welsh do suck but barely more than the team they cover does. The Reds, newsflash here, are tought to watch and to be a fan of. I mean 16 hits and they only won b/c Zambrano plunked B Phil with an Ephus pitch.
