Cubs Christmas Gifts
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah and so forth. The Angel Fan Wife was kind enough to get me a Ryne Sandberg jersey, plus some wonderful Marquette gear, so I guess I ended up on the nice list. I would love to hear what Cubs goodies some of you received.
As for the current Cubbies, here's what a few of them unwrapped.
Alfonso Soriano - Jugs Curveball Pitching Machine
Aramis Ramirez - "The Art of Cockfighting" (always good to brush up on the basics)
Jason Marquis - $100 Crate and Barrel gift card
Ryan Dempster - A.J. Burnett baseball card
Rich Harden - stack of hand towels (give it a sec)
Ted Lilly - Star Trek Holodeck to let him pitch in 2008 playoffs
Carlos Marmol - copy of K-rod's contract
Jeff Samardzija - a slider
Carlos Zambrano -a Livan Hernandez baseball card
Geovany Soto - Rick Wilkins' locker
Ryan Theriot - The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Baseball & Softball
Derrek Lee - 2005
Cubs Fans - a World Series Title (comes in gift card form and can only be redeemed in October, never expires but not accepted every season)
As always, feel free to fill the gaps for others associated with the Cubs.

One other thing, has anyone else noticed that Don Beebe has been gunning for a ISHA title for several months now in the CBS2 ad on the left sidebar? In fact, I can recall getting very angry at Don Beebe's stupid sly smirk when I showed up on this site after we lost Game 1. Something to effect of, "THIS IS NO TIME TO BE SMILING DON BEEBE, YOU FUCKING PRICK!" IIRC.
I wonder if he's ever going to get there...

I've read that Dunn has contacted the Cubs to play right field. It was in yesterday's papers, Trib maybe? I don't know, lifetime .247 hitter (I believe). Lots of homers and walks, but the only reason he wears a glove is because everyone else does. Could be disastrous when Flyball Lilly and Marquis pitch.

He's very familiar with right field, that's where all his hits go.

Wow...TCR on their own is going beyond just using bad language they couldn't use on MVN.
Nice picture of jugs on the main page upper left. Even took the wrapper off!
Check out the curves.
HELL YEAH!

Why is she lilting to one side like that, though?
And, I gotta say, I don't trust skinny women with big tits. Just sayin'.

I heard she's really good at squeezing balls between those jugs.

Unfortunately they often then pop out at dangerous speeds.
