So, that whole “Zambrano Mows My Lawn” Thing Upset Some Folks

Needless to say, yesterday’s post about the infamous “Zambrano Mows My Lawn” t-shirt spawned a bit of controversy, especially in Chicago internet circles.

Maybe it’s because the post was coupled with the news of Big Z going on the 15-day DL yesterday.  Or maybe it was because yesterday was Cinco De Mayo.

Truth be told, we were honestly more intrigued by the philosophical debate of what a stadium usher deems as appropriate versus inappropriate. 

After all, ushers were demanding that “Cubs Suck” shirts be turned inside out.  The general argument was overlooked and the picture provoked pissing matches and fan debates across the nation.  Oops.

There were Cubs fans calling Cardinals fans “rednecks” (ouch), Cardinals fans calling Cubs fans “ douche bags” (double ouch), and the rest of the nation calling all Midwesterners “racist farmers” (triple ouch).

Even mainstream news sources in Chicago picked up on the story, which always leads to intelligent banter from the public at large.  Right.

Regardless, it was a fun day, especially while reading the malicious comments from loyal Cubs fans.

Let us not forget that these same fans have donned “Stick it in your poo-holes” for years, as well as the controversial “Horry Cow” t-shirt.

In a 4-2 California victory over Detroit at Tiger Stadium, Rod Carew, with his three-for-four performance, raises his present batting average to .500 (48-for-96). Unfortunately for Rod, he finished the season at .339 behind Wade Boggs’ .361 average.

Anthony Young ends his 29 game losing streak after his Cubs beat the Pirates 10-1, which also snaps the Cubs 14 game losing streak at home. Anthony Young will be hosting a sports version of “The Biggest Loser” on ESPN some time in the near future. Harry Caray, by the way, said nothing about Young’s win. Instead, he noted that the lady in the blue halter top appeared to have a great personality.

We’ve reached Stage Three of the Favre Pandemic. It’s spread to the point of snappy headlines.  Time to start taking protective measures against Favre-itis.

When asked, which sports writer gave LeBron James a third place vote for MVP?
