Hoofta: A Cactus League Summary


Well, we made it back (actually, I shouldn't say "we;" haven't heard from OC yet). The raging hangover continues, along with a slight case of food poisoning from dinner last night. Not good times.


That said, the Heavy Soul Spring Training (somewhat) Annual continued to solidify itself as the greatest of great times. The partying paradigm has shifted--apparently getting older allows you to hit it hard during the day, but not so much late-night--but still fun as hell. Some other changes: actual sit-down dining, The Deuce's modified Tucker Max death juice (at 10 in the morning, on a Sunday!), pink captains' what-a-chairs, photo documentation, moustaches, playing pool football, and some new bars.


But some things never change, such as MIB's ability to entertain an entire section of a baseball stadium, crappy camping grills, luke-warm chili for too-hot hot dogs, hundreds of dollars worth of beer, Mark Prior getting lit up like a Christmas tree, and an sense of impending doom for the Chicago Cubs.


All in all, a great trip.

Yet Another Reason To Hate The Cubs

For the love of Christ...I mean, come on, Cubs! How can one possibly love a team that continually does things to annoy the piss out of them?

Look, I wasn't too excited about the fact that the Cubs drafted that Domer Jeff Samaradasdflkjdsafsdalkjasdfljsdka. But reading things like this in the Tribune makes me want to puke:

Meanwhile, quarterback Brady Quinn and several of Samardzija's other
ex-teammates will be among 330 hopefuls attending the NFL combine. They may have to text-message him their 40-yard times, as he currently has too much
information to process to pay much attention to their performances.

"I know it's on the NFL Network, but I'm not going to be able to watch much of it,"
Samardzija said. "I'll call my boys every day and see how they did. Brady, I
don't think he's going to run around too much."

Samardzija is hoping to last long enough for his crew to watch him pitch in a Cubs uniform. He said former teammate Tom Zbikowski and some other pals are planning a spring-break trek to Mesa to check him out. Some could wind up crashing on the couch of the newly minted millionaire."If there's a bunch of people in the stands acting stupid, it's probably them," Samardzija said.


In other words, stay the hell away from Mesa this Spring. A bunch of overrated douche bags will be there.

Christ.
