August 17, 2021: Jake Lands

posted in: Cubs | 0

I read the news today, oh boy… about a lucky man who made the grade. And though the news was rather sad, well, I just had to laugh…

How bad a team can the San Diego Padres be to sign Jake Arrieta to help their starting pitching? He’s starting tomorrow in Colorado, and man, let me tell you… I haven’t gambled in a minute, and I don’t know the opposing pitcher, and I know the Rockies suck, but…

Hey, I just got done lauding Jake, who will always be a Cubs legend in my heart and mind. He was the man. Key word in that sentence, WAS. Have the Padres seen any of his starts this year? 5 wins doesn’t sound horrible; 11 losses and a 6.88 ERA not so good. Did I mention that his last W was on May 25th? Hey, I wanted Jake to do well; I knew he had a little left in the tank… I was right. From Opening Day to May 25th, he was everything we had hoped he could be. Then…….. the wheels fell off.

But the Padres… man, they must be using some different analytics down there in San Diego. You’re going to tell me that there isn’t any better… ONE better option out there than Jake right now to fill the hole in your starting rotation now that Yu Darvish (yep, Yu… ironic?) is on the IL? Holy shit. What’s Edwin Jackson up to nowadays?

The process is completely different from IVF or In Vitro levitra 40mg Fertilization technique. Tiredness connected with depression may outcome with order viagra uk impotence. And mind you – they aren’t best viagra price unica-web.com doing it intentionally but rather due to the continuous stress and strain of day to day life which they suffer from; it takes a very heavy and serious toll on the sexual health of a man. The ideal unica-web.com viagra 50 mg suggested dosage of kamagra jelly is of 100 mg strength.

I mean, Cubs management certainly has the market cornered on stupidity nowadays, but the Padres look like they want to wet their beak. “Hey” says the Padres, “we want in on this!” Good luck; you’re going to need it… or maybe if your offense can put up 8 runs, you’ll be OK; that’s not out of the question you know…

Hey, I wish Jake nothing but the best, seriously. I hope he goes out there and kicks ass. Watch him do great… probably not, but stranger things have happened. I’m just shocked, literally floored, that another team took a shot on him. I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised; we did it this offseason. But there was sentimental value to that signing too; it was Lester or Arrieta… I guess we picked wrong. Looking at our starting rotation, why couldn’t it have been both? Whatever man… at least he didn’t go to the Cardinals… hey, Lester got his first win with St. Louis the other day… F me…

While we’re at it… did you see that KB press conference? Talking about I like this team, we’re not flashy, we just keep our heads down, and play hard… Certainly feels like a shot at Javy for starters. I don’t know… whatever. They’re both gone at this point… shit, everybody is gone. I wish them all well in their new homes. Poor Hendricks and Willson… still here, the lone soldiers from 2016… oh wait, yes, JHey is still here too… remind me why again?

There are days when it feels like it can’t get any worse… but it can… trust me, it can. What’s that saying… it’s darkest right before the dawn… something like that. Well, it feels like the sun should be coming out any minute now… bueller, bueller…
