First off, thanks to Seadick for stepping in and getting the WWMD posted the last several games.  I’ve been slacking off lately on the blogging, but making a comeback this weekend.  But there is no “I” in blogging, and that’s what teammates are for.

Anyway, what the hell is Joe going to do today?  How will he break the Cubs’ slump?  (And by slump I mean they lost last night.)  Looks like Heyward will be out for 3-5 games, so the lineup is anyone’s guess.  Oh well, give it your best shot.

Speaking of Heyward, did you see that catch?  Ridiculous.

Opening game of the series against the Milwaukee Alcoholics.  You know how this works, but if not, official rules HERE.

You know the drill.  Submit your guess in the Comments as to the Cubs lineup, including field position and lineup order, for the Pirates v. Cubs game at Wrigley on Saturday, May 14 at 1:20.

Cost to enter is $1.00.  Keep track of what you owe me, or vice versa.

All the rules are HERE.

Seadick and I came up with a new game today that will probably go viral and break the Internets.  The game is called WWMD, or What Will Maddon Do? Continue reading →

I know, I know, you are saying WTF SeaDick?  Where have the MMFUs been.  Well, all I have to say is that I have a job and it was a full time job just keeping track of all the wagers that Kool and I had going over the last 3 weeks.  117 of them at last count.  That was a full time job in and of itself.  Anyhoo, here’s how things ended up.

This was good:

This was bad, very bad:

It resulted in this:

Kool is Dr. Evil of course.

In hindsight I guess I should have seen it coming.  The hints where there.  A 12 always beats a 5.  The game was in Providence, RI.  The favorite was in the Big 12, which Kool says is weak other than Kansas.  The underdog is playing with a chip on its shoulder because it’s captain was expelled following a controversial sexual assault allegation (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/15/sports/basketball/yale-basketball-captain-says-he-was-wrongfully-expelled.html?_r=0) and the average IQ of the two teams probably has a 30 point differential.  Now sometimes brawn beats brains, but when one of the brawns decides it’s a good idea to try to go behind the back in the middle of traffic in the lane with 3 seconds to go and down by 2 . . . well, you know what happened.

Time for a March Fooking Madness Update.  We’ll be using MFMU for short I think.  In any event, it wasn’t the greatest start from my perspective, but I am sure Kool is cackling in his lair this morning contemplating whether he really can go 69-0.  How great is it by the way that there are 69 games?  Childish?  Yes.  Funny?  Hell yes.  But once again I digress.
