[USML Announce] The Moment We've All Been Waiting For

Wed May 27 16:53:07 EDT 2009

Thanks, Doug.? If I remember correctly, it was immediately after a different version of the same rant last year?that the Cubs got hot and the Brewers folded.? So, hopefully your mojo will work the same way this year.

Do want to repeat last year's $50 bet on the division title?

Mark

Will someone please put on the Cubs game and watch Zambrano go nuts? Just chucked the ball from home plate into the crowd (not Dibble-like, but close), whip his mitt, beat on some stuff in the dugout and oh yeah, bump the umpire.

Cubs fans, please face it: your team is destined to lose yet again. I'm sorry, it's just the truth, they are and always be a bunch of complete loooooooosers.

Brother Brad Lee,

Through 6 and things haven't gone well for the current Big Ripper, Mr. Davies.? Chased before he could complete 6, he gave up 8 runs, 6 of which were earned with an unfortunate 2.0+?WHIP.? On the other hand, the former Big Ripper, Mr. Porcello,?is cruising.? He's only given up one hit since the last report, a home run to Billy Butler.? I know when you traded him to me you said he was?"even better than David Price", but I thought?you were just puffing.? Now I'm not so sure.? Of course, you?also proclaimed Alexi Casilla as a future hall of famer, so I suppose its only fair that Porcello is?showing such tremendous promise.??

That is all.

Brother Jeff:

?? I do not know what you mean when you say "reverse course." I?travel one course, Jeff, and?it's a road to Truth and Justice, a Justice?defended by non-activist jurists, I might add.??And I hope that someday you will walk that road with me, Jeffrey, perhaps when you?come to learn that telling the Truth is not "whining," and when?one?tells the Truth, Jeffrey,?one has nothing to "retract."??

?? And?when it does come time to declare "Imminent?Victory," my lost friend --a time, by the way, that neither you nor Ron Shandler can predict-- I pray that you will hear my shouts as I ascend to the Damon on High.? But for now, there are earthly concerns that trouble me, for when I see what the Bombers can acquire with the likes of Wieters and Price ("Price, you know it ain't easy/You know how hard it can be/The way you keep throwin'/They're gonna crucify me,"?from The Ballad of Rich and Garko), I?fear for the moment when the Bombers serve up their offerings of Bailey and Outman.? So I enjoy my day in first, but recognize that as with all earthly pleasures, it is a fleeting, inconsequential moment.??

Wrapped in my mortal coil,

?I remain,

Brother Brad Lee

Brad Lee,

We're all waiting for you to reverse course and retract all of the whining emails about "not having enough", "packing it all in", etc.? I presume you'll be declaring your imminent victory soon enough.

But before you get too carried away, don't lose sight of the fact that the Little Ripper still has some chits to bargain.? And there's still lots of talent to parlay.? I presume that the Hoosiers will soon give up their futile quest to stay ahead of me in the standings and join the fray.? And with the Ban on Beans set to end on June 1st, I expect things are about to get really exciting.? 

As for the matchup in Detroit, Davies is off to a rough start - 2IP, 4 hits, 2 ER.? Mr. Porcello has given up an earned run on a rbi single by Butler, but is through 2 with 4 K's.

That is all.

Gee, Jeff.? And here I thought your subject line referenced the Riptorns' ascension to 1st place...or this afternoon's match-up between the Rips' Kyle Davies and the Berliners' (and fomer Rip)?Rick The Trick Porcello.....in any event, we're all breathless about Wieters, even though McFarlane has yet to manufacture his HOF classic action figure.? And someday will you please tell us about Ron Karkovice's debut?

Gentlemen,

Set your TIVO's, VCR's or whatever other recording devices are available to you.? In a mere two days, Mr. Matthew Wieters will make his major league debut.? Other than Brad Lee, I doubt any of us are?old enough to remember?Johnny Bench's debut in 1967.? Perhaps you recall Carlton Fisk's debut in 1969 or Gary Carter's debut in 1974.? Certainly you recall Mike Piazza's debut in 1992.? Well, its been 35 years since the last Hall of Fame catcher made his debut and 17 years since the last likely Hall of Fame catcher made his debut......until Friday.???When inducted (and assuming Mike Piazza is elected), Mr. Wieters will become only?the 15th catcher in the Hall of Fame.? The fact that you witnessed his debut?is something you'll want to be able to tell your grandchildren that you witnessed.??

That is all.
