I'm sitting on my couch just now, eating my breakfast, and watching the Channel 9 morning show. They start talking about the Cubs, and how some local guys took the Plain White Tee's "Hey There Delilah" and wrote a song about the Cubs to its music. They show the internet video that is out there, with one guy obviously lip syncing, and even READING THE LYRICS off the back of a photo of Piniella, and they performed Finji's "Hey There Piniella!" Then, on top of it, they had these bastards in the studio to perform it! Mac, Finji, Zederman - one of you needs to call over to WGN and straighten these thieves out! |

They even interviewed these scammers, and they skated around the question of how they came up with the song. Its a bunch of employees of 9 FM.... Mac, you guys need to call them on the air about this |

Unbelieveable. How could they actually go on TV and claim that song as their own? They must have great, big balls! They need to be stomped on. |

Someone should call or e-mail WGN news and let them know they've been had. Not me, of course. I'm way too lazy for that sort of task.... |

I'm sorry. I called over at ESPN 1000. I'll let them find out who these losers are and deal with them. |

If these guys copied Finji's song word for word, then they are stupid. Did they not think people would notice? |

They probably didn't care. Some people will do anything to get on T.V. |

I am going to write a stern letter because of this. It will be very terse. |

Well, it didnt sound like the stole the lyrics or anything. Of course, I couldn't make out what they were saying at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KMuC-JUlEY I'm pretty sure it's not the same lyrics. Oh well... |

The lead singer has a little "Stevie" Eyre in him. |

The you tube song was added August 8th. Finji did his on August 10th. Probably just a coincidence. |

Or Finji is the culprit. Maybe Ben will hold a press conference later to clear his name. I sure hope alcohol didn't play a role in this... |

There was no ripping off done by anyone. Their song was a tad more Cub-happy than mine. Plus, mine was only intended to be used for a week or two. Once Aramis and Soriano came back it was useless. But it's good to know the MJH Universe will have our backs when something is ripped off our show. If Fox News in the Morning starts doing "B Stories", I expect you guys to be on 'em. |

Damnit. I spent all day writing a stern letter only to find this information out. Well, those are 14 wasted pages. It wasn't that bad though, I double spaced it. I can't write like Tall Midget. |

Don't punish yourself. He's only got the final two in sixty minutes, so his writing must be concise.
