So the 2009 schedule has been posted, for those who are interested. Go month-by-month starting in April.
  • Looks like we've got the AL Central again for Inter-League play, once again getting skipped on playing the Royals, while the rest of our division will get that luxury. Twins-Sux-Indians-Tigers-Sux.
  • Home opener is April 13 against.... the Rockies?
  • First series against the Asstrolls, Beers, and Morans are all within the first month of the season.
  • Season ends at home this year, with a series against the Pirates, finishing off the the Diamondbacks.
  • Nothing on Spring Training yet, other than the 2 games at the NEW MECCA OF BASEBALL NEW YANKEE STADIUM (barf), April 3-4. We're the first team opposing them there. Let's beat the shit out of them and give em a nice "WELCOME TO YOUR NEW SHITTY BALLPARK"

That is all.

I was nervous about this Ravens game. Maybe I was having flashbacks to the Giants/ Raiders Superbowl.

Turns out my fears were misplaced. A convincing win for the G-Men.

Their schedule is horrendous the rest of the way, not a single game against a team with a losing record, but I think they're equal to it. Their three-headed running back is monstrous.

According to the Trib, Kerry says that he was willing to take a one year deal to stay here. He wanted to retire a Cub.

Way to think about Kerry's "future" Cubs!

I know, a lot of you agreed with yesterday decision to let him go, but he would have signed a one year deal, so does that change your opinion? Considering that would have left us with the best set up man in baseball to continue in the role he prefers (Marmol has said he does not enjoy closing as much, but will do what is needed of him) and at the same time, we'd have a backup closer if Woody were to get hurt.

The Cubs make my head explode. All this money tied up to pay Soriano, Marquis and Fukudome (who I think will bounce back, but the other two have shown they are incapable of that).

Sorry, Stego. (But only a little).

My heart stopped several times this evening.

What a game.

I hate the prevent defense. Hate it, hate it, hate it. But that was a sensational catch by Randy Moss. Though the Jets should have jammed him, as they'd been doing all game.

Where the hell do the Patriots keep getting these great quarterbacks? Matt Cassel was amazing, I have to say. Four-year college benchwarmer, hasn't played since high school, but he gets better every game, and tonight he looked like the reincarnation of Johnny Unitas. And he was what, a seventh round draft choice? And Brady was a sixth rounder? Scott Pioli has an amazing eye for quarterbacks. The Jets back-up is Kellen Clemens, a second round choice and a major college star, but in the NFL so far he has been less than ordinary. Let's just hope that Brett Favre never goes down.

Much as I despise him, Evil Little Bill is still a great coach. Just when it looked as though the Jets were going to blow the P-men out on their own home field, BB goes to a no-huddle offense, and exhausts Gang Green's gigantic man in the middle, Kris Jenkins, negating our most effective defensive player. No one else thought of that, all season. Fortunately for truth, justice, and the American way, Jenkins was able to find a hidden reserve of strength in the fourth quarter, when it counted, but... I may despise Belichek, but I never make the mistake of underestimating him.

But enough props to the Patriots. The Jets won. Finally. When Moss caught that TD with one second left, I felt like a dagger had been thrust through me, and the words "Same Old Jets" came inevitably to mind. It felt like we'd already lost. These were the Patriots, after all. Even when we won the overtime coin toss, things looked grim... especially after the first two plays, when the Jets faced third-and-fifteen.

Then Brett threw that rope to Dustin Keller, and the world changed.

Favre was... well, Favre was Favre. He's done it before, he'll do it again. Jericho Cotchery had that astonishing catch, snatching the ball out of the air in the crook of his elbow while falling forward with a defender draped all over him. Leon Washington returned a kickoff for a TD. But Dustin Keller was the one who really made me sit up. It looks as though the Jets knew what they were doing when they traded up into the end of the first round to get him (and a good thing, since their other first round pick, number four overall Vernon Gholston, shows every sign of being a bust). Tannenbaum and Mangini struck gold with Keller, I think. We have our tight end for the next decade.

Anyway... great game, great win, and I'm a happy boy.

Life is magical and full of joy.

Former Daily Show correspondent Rob Corddry and his wife Sandra have welcomed their second daughter, they tell PEOPLE exclusively. Marlo Stevenson Corddry arrived at 2:55 a.m. this morning, Wednesday November 12th, and joins big sister Sloane Sullivan, 2. "Mother and daughter are doing well," says a rep.

The couple announced the pregnancy and sex of the baby in September, with Rob, 37, joking that, "Sloane is pretty set on the name 'Freeka.'

"She also likes 'Laurie Berkner,' but that sounds weird in front of Corddry. We may just go with 'Baby the Entertainer' in case she grows up to be a black comedian."

Rob and Sandra were married in 2002.

Nov. 12th, 2008 @ 03:02 pm Piniella is the NL Manager of the Year!
About this Entry

Current Music: Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) | Powered by Last.fm

Lou Piniella, who guided the Cubs to the best record in the National League, was named Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Wednesday.

It's the third time Piniella, 65, has won the award and first time in the National League. He was named the American League's top manager in 1995 and 2001, when he was skipper of the Seattle Mariners.

Piniella finished with 15 first-place votes, eight second-place votes and four third-place votes for a total of 103 points, well ahead of the runner-up, Philadelphia's Charlie Manuel, who totaled 67 points.

This season, Piniella and the Cubs posted a 97-64 record and won the National League Central for the second consecutive year. He's the first skipper to lead the team to back-to-back postseason appearances since Frank Chance did so in 1906-08.

The Cubs, however, were unable to end the 100-year drought since they last won a World Series, being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series.

In 2008, the Cubs were either tied or had sole possession of first in the division for 151 of 181 days and reached a season-high 35 games over .500 on Aug. 29 for the first time since 1945. The 97 wins this year were the most since winning 98 in 1945, which was the last time the Cubs were in the World Series.

The team was successful despite beginning the season with a few experiments. For example, Ryan Dempster was switching from closer to starter and ended up winning a career-high 17 games and finishing sixth in the NL Cy Young voting. Kerry Wood was making the transition from starter to closer and finished with 34 saves.

Piniella also welcomed in new right fielder Kosuke Fukudome, the first Japanese player to play for the Cubs, and when he struggled, the manager was quick to make changes.

The biggest burden, though, was dealing with the expectations placed on the Cubs in the super-hyped 100-year anniversary season.

"It's not fair to put all the expectations of all the past failures here and all the past successes here on the 2008 team," Piniella said earlier this year. "You let this team stand on its own merit, and you let them do what they can do as well as they can do and let them go as far as they can.

"This team has played hard all year, they've treated the people of Chicago to a [great] season of baseball and believe me, they all want to win as much as I do, but the problem is there's only one team that can win. For people to say that this team is built for the World Series and if it doesn't win the World Series, it's not a successful year, I just don't buy that."

One of the main reasons the Cubs signed Piniella was to end the franchise's championship drought, the longest in professional sports.

"I'm trying the best I can," Piniella said. "If I don't win it, there will be somebody else here who you'll be talking about, and if I do win it, there will be somebody else here anyways, so what's the difference?

"Everybody who puts on a uniform wants to do it, but it doesn't happen," he said. "It's not an easy thing to do. You talk to these players and they play hard all year. Talk to the other team in contention and they'll tell you the same thing.

"I understand it's been a long, long, long time here," he said. "I can empathize, but at the same time, this is the 2008 team. Period. This is not the 1968 team, this is not the 1943 team, this is not the 1918 team. This is the 2008 team. These kids will play as well as they possibly can for as long as they possibly can and we'll go out there and give it all we've got, and that's all we can do. Nothing more, nothing less."

After losing to the Dodgers in the NLDS, Piniella said he was looking forward to 2009. He agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in the Cubs dugout through 2010.

"I'm excited [about next year]," he said after Game 3 in Los Angeles, "but I want to do more than play the part of the good loser. I really do. I want to do more than play the part of congratulating the other team in the first round of the playoffs."
