It started out as a Cub blog with cuss words. I'm still cussin'; it's the Cub part I'm a little squishy on these days.

All in favor of signing LaTroy Hawkins for $4M per... I'm just sitting there with hy hands in my lap C'mon? He's the best available reliever, and he wanted 5 million! I still think the money would have been better spent on hitting. Why didn't we let one of the Fine Young Prospects show us that they can do what Hawkins does, for a tenth of the price? OK, let me rephrase the question. All those who think LaTroy Hawkins is good? My hand shoots up! All those in favor of letting him close games, leave your hands up. Back down into my lap. Which is the point: another $4M for a guy who throws ungodly heat, but cannot close? We got one of those, Ol' Cap'n Tightpants, Fiddy Cent, Kyle Farns #44....for half the money! Besides, don't bother me. I gots my tea leaves, my crystals, and my magic 8-ball, and I'm trying to predict the 25-man for opening day. The 8-ball, in particular, is never wrong, and after painstaking logical elimination using YES and NO questioning, here is the 25-man roster for Your 2004 Defending NL Central Champeen Chicago Cubs! Mark Prior Kerry Wood Juan Cruz Matt Clement Wilson Alvarez Mark Remlinger LaTroy Hawkins Ricardo Rincon Todd Wellmeyer Joe Borowski Hector Almonte Derrek Lee Jose Vidro Alex Gonzalez Aramis Ramirez Geoff Blum Ramon Martinez Damian Miller Paul Bako Jose Cruz, Jr. Sammy Sosa Moises Alou Tom Goodwin Randall Simon Jason DuBois Remaining Acquistions: Farnsworth, Zambrano and PTBNL for Almonte, Vidro and PTBNL from Expos Vidro - second base God Almonte - Alfucksucka look-alike Jose Cruz, Jr. - free agent, fill in for Corey Patterson (DL) Tom Goodwin - free agent, fourth OF extraordinare Geoff Blum - free agent, utility man Jason DuBois - Arizona Fall League sensation Wilson Alvarez - free agent, LHP 5th starter with something to prove Ricardo Rincon - free agent, LOOGY
