The Chicago Cubs are continuing their 100 years of World Series solitude, and are taking the appropriate amount of crap for their effort. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart broke out a pie chart that shows Chicago Cubs fans are stupid.

The Chicago White Sox have lost five games in a row, and seven of their last 10, but manager Ozzie Guillen isn’t worried about that. At a time when his team is struggling to score runs, Ozzie is more concerned with who the Chicago Cubs choose to honor. Read the full story

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Michigan’s loss, at home, to Appalachian State is obviously the story of the week, and possibly the story of the year in college football. I had no rooting interest in the game, but I couldn’t help pulling for ASU. I’m sure they’re still screaming “We Beat Michigan“.

Joining Michigan in the hanging it up for the season category are Tennessee and Florida State. I didn’t have either squad challenging for the national title, and the 0-1 starts kill any hopes they had… But at least FSU lost AT Clemson and the Vols lost AT Cal.

MLB

Maybe this chick is a good luck charm for the Mets. The NYMs swept Atlanta, and then they welcomed Pedro Martinez back to the the team. Martinez picked up his 3000th strikeout and his first win of the season during his 5 inning outing on Monday.

The NL Central and West are the home to the only divisional races. The Cubs lead the Brewers by a game and a half and the Cardinals by two games. Chi-town will hold on to win the division, even if they can’t get Zambrano going. San Diego leads the west by a game over Arizona, and I’m taking the leader again. As a matter of fact, I’m taking all the leaders across the board… The divisions, the wildcards, everything. The playoffs are set in my book.

GOLF

I didn’t think it was possible, but the FedEx Cup is kinda interesting. Phil Mickelson balled (Are golfers ballers?) and held off Tiger Woods to win the Deutsche Bank Championship. The victory moved Phil back to the #2 spot in the world rankings and #1 overall in the PGA playoffs. I’m glad to see somebody trying to hang with Mr. Woods, but if Phil skips next week’s event in Chicago, the FedEx Cup is back to being a joke.
