Festivus begins with the airing of the grievances. I’ve got a lot of problems with you people, and you’re going to hear about them.
Here we go:
1) Stop signing 37-year old pitchers from Asia! Especially ones coming off their SECOND Tommy-John Surgery.
2) The Cubs Convention has been moved to the Sheraton. I DON’T KNOW WHAT BAR TO HANG OUT IN AT THE SHERATON!
3) Ronnie Woo-Woo
4) 4 Years for Edwin Jackson
5) The lines for the women’s bathrooms at Wrigley are STILL too long
6) Speaking of Wrigley, how about some decent food?
7) Mike Tice
8) Constant emails from the Cubs about buying tickets to see this putrid team
9) Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Marmol are still here; and
10) Todd Ricketts.
Now you.
Apropos of nothing, this is the happiest thing I’ve ever seen:
18) I made a list of festivus grievances, then realized nobody would want to read, or even scroll, through all 17 of them (some of which are moderately long.)
So I put them all in a post on my rarely-updated blog. http://psymar.livejournal.com/10633.html
Feel free to leave comments there, or ignore it, whichever.
GIANT BUFFALO DOGS AREN’T DECENT FOOD????
uh… nope. Neither is the giant pretzel, and there are few things in life I love as much as pretzels.
The high for my location tomorrow is -2.
It’s cold wherever you go.
Stupid Bears won. Now Mike Tice will be back next year.
WTF is a Fife and why would you Mike it
Damn spellchecker
Almost Christmas…I hope that all of you get a lump of coal and a Theriot or Neifi figurine.
Julie- I notice you did not list the Giant Noodle in your list,so I guess that means you learned to like it. It’s in the low 50′s and raining, but the stores were not too bad this weekend. No Christmas party for my division as the boss is a Coptic Christian, and their Christmas is in Jan. We had a gift exchange for about 5 years,but some people did not want to spend $5 on a coworker. Anyway, it’s a half day for me today…
