Burrows is a Biter

OK, get serious, then NHL didn't suspend him, but we all know Alex Burrows bit Patrice Bergeron. They couldn't see it on the video, but he did it, and he's going to carry that stigma around with him his whole career.

He may play 10 more years, and I guarantee guys will be putting their fingers in his mouth for the next decade. Dumb. I know it's the heat of the moment, but come on man, throw a punch, high stick him, just don't bite him, this isn't kindergarten.

The Cubs

I went to a Cubs game last Saturday (I grew up near Chicago, so no, it's not my first), and they lost to the Pirates 10-0. The best part of the game was the Vienna Beef hot dogs. Seriously, what a major let down.

I came away with a few random thoughts.

1. Who does the Woo-Woo guy think he is? He comes to the field wearing a full Cubs uniform with Woo-Woo on the back, and expects people to forget that saying woo-woo over and over is annoying?

2. What's with the pulled down socks vs up high socks? Aren't uniforms supposed to be the same? How about some standards, please?

3. The Cubs are out of it, again, they suck.

4. The Toyota display in left field = obnoxious.

5. Roof top seating looks cool, as long as you don't actually live in the building.

That is all. Another year of the billy goat curse.
