What a couple of days it's been in the world of sports. Especially with two teams near and dear to me, the Titans and the Cubs. The bad news first. Albert Haynesworth stomped a man's face while he was helmetless on the ground. Inexcusable. We're the Titans, not the Raiders. Let's show some semblance of sportsmanship. I don't care how emotional you get, there's no reason for this. I hope Coach Fisher doubles whatever punishment the league hands out to Haynesworth. (I also hope we actually win a game this season, but I'm not holding my breath.)
Now onto the good news. Dusty Baker will not return next season as Cubs manager. This, my friends, has been a long time coming. If I were running the show, he would have been fired midway through the season. However, I'm just happy that it happened at all. Given the general laissez-faire attitude of the front office (and of the Tribune), a hare-brained move like a contract renewal wasn't out of the question. It's time for a fresh start. New president, new manager, and hopefully quite a few new players. We've been heading down that slippery slope from lovable losers to just plain sorry losers. That's a bridge too far. Even Cubs fans have a breaking point, and we were fast approaching it. But finishing at the bottom of the NL Central means we can only go up from here, right? I guess there's always next year...
