Horry Kow!

Two games in 20 hours. Let's see if the Mets can come away with at least one. Figueroa against Ted Lilly. A new ace against and ex-ace. I found myself not hating the Cubs quite as much last night, regardless of Zambrano pitching, and apparently both Chicago teams are atop of their divisions so...good for them. Enjoy it. Because they ain't winning no World Series. It would be too storybook and that stuff just doesn't happen.

And how about these "Horry Kow" t-shirts that vendors are selling outside of Wrigley. For those who don't know, Harry Caray was the beloved sports announcer for the Cubs who is somewhat responsible for everyone singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh innning stretch and most famous for his bellowed "Holy Cow!" during big moments of a game. So this t-shirt is a mixture of honoring Harry Caray and the excitement over the new Japanese right fielder Kosuke Fukudome, who found the design less than hilarious...

''I don't know what the creator of the shirt meant this to be, but they should make it right. Maybe the creator created it because he thought it was funny, or maybe he made it to condescend the race. I don't know.''
