And three … two … one … kaboom! I call this Cubs era, “The Fabulous Baker Bomb.”
2. Getting poetic
Dear Dusty, I hope your toothpick acts as a compass and guides you to greener pastures than our Wrigley Field ivy.
3. Steel the vote
A Harris poll says the Steelers are the new America’s team. How could Dallas lose that title with warm and fuzzy characters like T.O. and the Big Tuna?
4. Speaking of T.O.
All this drama, and Terry Glenn steals the show. That’s showbiz, I mean the NFL.
5. I stand corrected
The Packers are in the top five favorites. The Bears aren’t. Cubs, I guess you were right about the loveable loser mystique.
6. Wild pitch
I think the Animal Olympics in China is exploitation–of humans. We kick your two-legged furless tails all the livelong day.
7. Turning green
First the Irish comeback, then the indignity of losing to the Illini. The Illini! Michigan State should change its name from Spartan to Smartin’.
8. Just kidding!
Why is baseball drawing its best ever attendance? Whitney Houston took over concessions.
9. Crunch time
Study: Even athletes who take approved supplements can fail drug tests. Now hear this. Eat. A. Carrot.
FIVE THINGS
Great things about Dusty Baker:
-Never yells at players. Never.
-Perfected the dugout gangsta lean.
-Toddler son was great at blocking the plate.
– Keeps the toothpick industry on its feet.
– Forget Small Ball. Try Crawl Ball.
