    Playoffs ahoy!


  2. - jwscott72 - Wednesday, Sep 19, 07 @ 11:47 am:

    Arrr, Cubbies need to bring base runners home or else their post-season will be sunk to Davy Jones’ locker.


  3. - Paul - Wednesday, Sep 19, 07 @ 11:50 am:

    Cubs fans be in for another dissapointment. They don’t have t’ pitchin’ or t’ hittin’ t’ get out o’ t’ first round. Sweet Lou be great, but be only human.


  4. - s - Wednesday, Sep 19, 07 @ 11:53 am:

    Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?

    The Cubs arrrr in contention, savvy?


  5. - Sailor Sam - Wednesday, Sep 19, 07 @ 11:54 am:

    Aarrgghhh. The Cubs be my mateys and I’m a hopin’ and prayin’ they take da booty dey so deserves. Play ball or walk da plank.


  6. - so-called "Austin Mayor" - Wednesday, Sep 19, 07 @ 11:56 am:

    Talk like a pirate, huh?

    How’s this, “Why pay money for the new 50 Cent album when you can download it for free at http://thepiratebay.org/ instead?”

    Oh wait, I mean “Why pay money for virus protection when you can download the home use edition of Avast! virus protection for free at http://tinyurl.com/fzrhw (Avast… pirates… get it? hello? hello? cricket… cricket…)

    Alright, how’s this, “I sure hope we reach land soon because the appeal of sodomy is rapidly diminishing.”

    “Aaargh, matey!”

    Indeed.

    – SCAM


  7. - Pat Collins - Wednesday, Sep 19, 07 @ 12:36 pm:

    the appeal of sodomy is rapidly diminishing.

    Have we reached the point where we are going to drink each other’s water?


  8. - unbiased - Wednesday, Sep 19, 07 @ 12:53 pm:

    If the cubs had kept AAAARRRRdsma, they would be a shoe in for a win today.

  14. - Healthcare Worker - Wednesday, Sep 19, 07 @ 1:46 pm:

  16. - Captain Jack Sparrow for Governor - Wednesday, Sep 19, 07 @ 2:01 pm:

    Then Mansion staff can justifiably post this above the gates: “All hope abandon ye who enter here”.

    For today, just post a pic of Johnny Depp and we wenches will be happy!
