11 (Straight) Hits, 12 (Straight) Runs, 1 Failed Franchise

Now, as many people know, the history of the Chicago Cubs is very sad and depressing. Yesterday, it got much worse. The Cubs, with 2 outs in the 8Th inning, gave up 11 straight hits and 12 straight runs. Watch this video of it. You'll crack up. http://colorado.rockies.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=10453901
In other news, lots of trades! Haren to angels, Tejada to Padres, Oswalt to Phillies. But I think none of those are very significant. The Brewers still have Hart AND fielder. I was in favor of keeping Fielder. Fielder is a consistent power force besides April, and Braun is horribly inconsistent. But Hart is at the highest price of his career, and the Brewers need pitching. Badly. We also need a new manager (notice how Wisconsinites call the Badgers, Brewers, and mostly the Packers "we"?). I'd rather have Lou Pinnella and Ned Yost than Ken Macha, and that's hard to say.

News

Hello few and appreciated blog readers! It's been a while since I've blogged, and that's because I've been at the best and most beautiful place on earth, Camp Interlaken (right and above). Not only is it the most fun place on earth, but you're pretty much guaranteed to see a bald eagle every day. Ok, lot's of sports news.
1. "King" Lebron James has made the cowardly decision to join the star studded heat. Instead of showing that he's truly an amazing player, one of the best ever, leading his hometown team and passionate loving fans to a championship, he took his ego to Miami. Now if he wins a championship, he will be only a super-egoed (is that a word?) helper. Sure he's a hall of famer, but not a respected one (kind of like Ty Cobb, just not as good).
2. Lou Pinella has retired. Well, kind of. The Cub fans still get half a year of "it" left. Seriously, kpeople say he's a HOF manager? A HOFer can make a baseball team look like a baseball team, not a bunch of hopeless souls on dirt and grass. I mean, look at him! -------------->
3. Speaking of bad managers, the Brewers manager, Ken Macha, is still around. Making decisions like sending down the mega prospect on a struggling team who has had only 5 at bat's and already 4 hits.
4. Spain wins the world cup. That means 3 years and 11 months of Americans hating soccer again.
5. I was getting on the bus for my first day of Camp Shalom, and when I was looking for a seat, One seat had a 6 year old, who said with a strong southern accent, "This seats Toyken". Forrest Gump, anyone? Well, that's it. Check back frequently for posts!
