Kali Speta! Yep, its Friday and it’s time for Gyros Thursday. Nick the Greek got stuck out East with a cancelled flight earlier this week, so I am a day off on my internal calendar. So let’s get started.
Ding: It is a Cubs-Sox series weekend, and I have to say…who really cares? The Sox suck. The Cubs suck. Only 5 more weeks until the Bears start training camp. I am looking forward to the first “Devin Hester…you are ridiculous!” call by Jeff Joniak (not to be confused with my old fraternity brother Jeff Janiak).
Ding: Can we officially dump all that Cubs Kool-Aid everyone was drinking? Eight games under .500 … season is over folks. Turn your attention to tracking Barrett vs Bowen stats for the rest of the year. And if you are a Sox fan, add the two together and see how badly AJ Pierzynski beat them combined.
Ding: Speaking of catchers, the Italiarican mentioned in a comment on the Barrett post that it is easier to replace a catcher than a pitcher, and I ask the audience … is it?
Jason Kendall is a starting catcher, as is Rob Bowen or Koyie Hill. In fact some of the crummiest offensive players out there are catchers: Miguel Olivo, Ramon Hernandez, Gerald Laird, Josh Bard. Now I know what to do with my 20 month old son, Sam. Honey, we are getting Sam a mask, some shinguards and a chest protector. He is going to catch. And we need to have him swing the bat left handed too.
