I'M BACK!

As some of you might know, I recently went on vacation to Europe and missed some of the worst Cubs play in my young life in the process. I also got to watch the early rounds of the World Cup Action in the heart of Europe, and in a lot of ways, baseball can't compare to it, although I'm sure that if the Cubs ever made the World Series, there would be city-wide cheering after every scored run, like there was in Paris whenever the French team scored a goal. You could literally hear them from your hotel room.

As far as the Cubs go, well, let's just say I'm vying for what we comic book fans would call a "reboot." Someone in the Trib Tower has to have the gonads to press the reset button, forcing schmucks like Andy McPhail, Jim Hendry, Dusty Baker, Gene Clines, Gary Matthews, and Larry Rothschild to seek jobs elsewhere, because they've done absolutely nothing for the city of Chicago except lose.

Anyway, now that I'm back, and although I'm blogging at Goat Riders probably 6 out of every 7 days, I will try to get back to blogging here three or four days a week. Look at it this way: I'm going to use my best jokes at Goat Riders, but I'll be using my worst vulgarity here. So, if you want to read me cursing out the Cubs, then check back here later today when they get swept by the White Sox ... and still don't fire Dusty Baker.
