He's the worst.

"What if the Cubs continued on a bit of a winning streak, and the Pirates and Reds fell back to Earth, and at the All-Star break the Cubs found themselves, say, four or five games under .500 and four or five games out of the second wild card?"

"I repeat, just so there is no misunderstanding: there are no guarantees with prospects"

"There's fan loyalty going back decades, and emotions and tears involved. How much longer? How many more tears, Theo? Winning can be done. It must be done. We have had virtually infinite patience. But that patience is growing short."


I should have known better to waste those 5 minutes of my life.

That whole thing Friday was icky. I'm officially in the "It's not funny" camp. He obviously is mentally-challenged.

If the Cubs were to win, I probably would but more because of the memories of my Grandpa and Grandma and the thought of wishing they were still here to watch it with me.

Joyous tears, I can accept that. But there has been no joy, so any tears have been of the boo boo variety. That's where I laugh.

Skimming the article and comments, many more commenters ripped on Al than I expected. Apparently BCB isn't the love fest it used to be. But I was surprised to see 1600 comments for an article written by a guy who has no clue of what he's saying.
