Scarey. Don't forget Scarey. I don't hold anything against BT. The Cubs pay his salary, he has to say these things.

quick question Tom. If I blame the players instead of the manager, do I still get paid? I mean, they are the Cubs too, right? I'm not sure what the dividing line is.
Follow up, what do I have to do to get into the cool kids club? I assume if I blame everything on hendry and pinella, that's a start, but do I need to do more? It will be tough for me, because as we all know, there is no one braver or smarter (or rarer) than a message board commenter willing to lay it all on the line and blame management for everything, and I'm just not sure I have the stones to do it.

Is there such thing as a Cool Kids Club as it pertains to an online sports message board? Isn't that the epitome of uncool?
I'm not sure if it's cool or not to blame management for their mistakes, real or perceived, but then I'm not sure it's cool to always take managements side in every single argument.
In life, there are constants: the sun will rise in the east, taxes will increase, people will die, bt will always side with management, kb will always side against management, and the Cubs will never win a championship. It's written in stone. The Mayans predicted it.
