No Relation to Music: This Week In Cubs History

*Eddie Vedder threw out the first pitch on May 14th (I guess this post is related to music). Oh, you want me to change the name of the post to This Eight Days in Cubs History? Too bad.

*Michael Barrett threw the cleanest punch I have ever seen on a baseball diamond and it landed on the face of terminal jerk A.J. Pieryznszyieskzysneki^. A.J. actually made a clean play, Barrett was completely in the wrong, but I loved every minute of it, replay after replay. A.J., of course, continued to make a scene by beating himself about the face as he walked into the dugout. Tough guy. Love it. Bring that noise to Boston, A.J., and you will probably get plunked with a AA battery.

*Anonymous friend of Metro D. got dumped because Girlfriend X was "sick and tired of scheduling dates around Cubs games." This of course happening while the Cubs are off to an 18-25 start. Nothing a little trip to the GODDESS can't cure.

^On a complete sidenote, we can't confuse the "cleanest punch" with the "coolest fight move" on a baseball diamond ever: Nolan Ryan's I-am-20-years-your-senior-and-punching-you-in-the-head-while-I-have-you-in-a-headlock answer to a mound-charging Robin Ventura. Granted, Ventura just got tagged with a 96 mph fastball.
