Cookies aren't always good. There is such thing as bad ice cream. Despite what you see on TV, there are good people in this world. Not everybody likes chocolate. And Christmas isn't everybody's favorite holiday.
*Alfonso Soriano doesn't necessarily mean that the Cubs are going to the World Series next year. In fact, it's my personal opinion, that the Cubs made one of the worst signings in the past few years. I think this signing will improve them next year, and maybe for the next two years. But after that, I doubt it. The Cubs now have all their money tied up in two players: Soriano and Aramis Ramirez. Will they be able to resign Carlos Zambrano? Will they ever be able to sign a big name free agent pitcher? The history of big contracts for big players says that this isn't a good deal for the Cubs. Especially considering: Soriano is 31 years old, which means that they've signed him until he's 39. Also, Soriano only puts up career numbers in contract years, which means that you shouldn't expect him to hit 40-40 again until 2013. And then he'll be 38 years old, so I wouldn't expect it then either. Basically, the Cubs think they can buy a World Series (which the Yankees prove isn't true) and Soriano signed up to be a lifetime loser. That's fine with me. I don't like him anyway. But he's really on my bad side now.
*Carlos Lee doesn't necessarily mean that the Houston Astros are going to the World Series next year either. It's frustrating, I know, to have the two biggest free agent players on the market land in the NL Central for opposing teams, but the same applies for Lee and the Astros as did Soriano and the Cubs. What about pitching? The Cardinals proved this year that pitching in the postseason is what matters, not batting. So the Astros have to ask themselves: Does Roy Oswalt and Woodrow Williams cut it? Ummmmm...no.
*Just because the media treats them like they are God's gift to college football, this doesn't make Notre Dame the fifth best team in the nation. Here's to hoping they beat USC, but they aren't that good and I think it'll be proved tonight. I don't like either team...at all, by any means. Wisconsin would blast them, but they aren't getting consideration for the BCS Championship, are they? The media, once again, has convinced most people that Notre Dame is worthy of a national title. They aren't. But the Irish can drink, and then they fight. So you have to trust that. But further than that...I say "Cheers to anybody that isn't afraid to throw a witness against them."
*What else: Oh yea, just because Missouri killed Kansas today doesn't mean that Missouri is a better state than Kansas.
Wait....
Yes it does.
*Just because Missouri Hoops is 6-0, doesn't mean that they are going to the NCAA tournament. Have you learned your lesson about MU sports yet, or are starting to think Final Four? Go Tigers!
*Just because the St. Louis Blues have won two in a row, both in shootouts, and one against the famous Detroit Red Wings, doesn't mean that my pre-season prediction of the Blues popping the cork on the champagne bottle that is the central division will come true. But you're starting to think I'm smarter than my picture makes me look, aren't you? If you have Dominik Hasek on your fantasy hockey team, trade him now, because the Red Wings are getting ready to go under.
*Just because the Rams couldn't score a touchdown last week. Just because Marc Bulger couldn't throw the football last week. Just because Torry Holt and Ike Bruce couldn't catch last week. Just because Scott Linehan only called eight run plays last week. All of that doesn't mean you should think the same will happen this week. But I wouldn't doubt it. San Fran has got our number, and we don't have theirs. I've heard people say they are done with the Rams, they don't want to watch them again this week. This figures, and it's why I completely disagree with everyone who says St. Louis has the best sports fans. The minute things go wrong in St. Louis sports, we don't want to watch. We turn off our TVs. We say Mark Mulder sucks, and Jason Marquis can't pitch. We say Torry "BIG Game" Holt who? We say remember the days of Brett Hull and Curtis Joseph. Most NFL fans stick with their team no matter what, St. Louis fans give up the minute they get a chance. WATCH THE RAMS.
*Hey, just because I say it, doesn't necessarily make it true.

I completely agree with you when it comes to St. Louis fans. Even I get sucked into not wanting to watch from time to time. But, I throw it all out the door once the game starts. When it comes to ND football, I don't think anyone thought they should be in the championship. In fact, most reporters I heard said that there is no way they should even be considered. Doesn't matter now, USC proved to be the MUCH better team on Saturday. I will hand it to ND fans though. I was at a private party at Buffalo Wild Wings Saturday night for the game. The guy that rented it out graduated from ND and hasn't missed a home game since he graduated....he's 45 years old! Not to mention he took care of the food and drinks.
Mark Mulder DOES suck and Jason Marquis CAN'T pitch. You can fault people from St.Louis for being bad fans, but you can't fault them for speaking the truth.
The reason why Wisconsin doesn't get any consideration is because they've only played one team in the top 25 all year (Michigan) and got beat. Their non-conference schedule is rediculously weak. Wisconsin couldn't beat USC or Notre Dame.
Hey Dave just curious if you the believe the Cardinals don't need to pick up a new outfielder? Because to me although they pulled through durring the playoffs there are some HUGE questions out there. And what should they do with Wainwright? Closer or starter?
Why do you think the Red Wings are about to fold? If there is one team in the NHL that hasn't folded in the regular season in the last 10 years, its the Red Wings. Plus, they are only 2 points out of first place in the Central, and have been keeping pace with a hot Nashville Predator team. I hate the Wings, but they are a model of consistency when it comes to the regular season.
I love the signing of Kenndedy for 3 years, 10 million...and I don't mind the kip wells signing either. I look for good things with eckstein and kennedy hooking up again. aslo, schmidt is apparently close to signing with the cubs...hell, their payroll is getting close to the yankees.
