As we’ve discussed in previous posts, the Ted Lilly Fan Club has always considered ourselves eco-friendly which, in conjunction with the fact that we’ve always also considered ourselves Ted Lilly-friendly, makes today’s start extra special.
While there had already been a ton of buzz around the FC for Earth Day (using compact fluorescent light bulbs, creating a wildlife habitat in our backyard, installing low-flow shower heads), the added bonus of a TL start really just pushed us over the edge into a state of pure euphoria.
In fact, we doubt that anyone could come up with a better representative for the Earth than a certain 5’10” lefty from Torrance, CA. A few other Ted-friendly eco-tips
- Build a Rain Barrel to capture rain for lawn care purposes. Of course, Ted doesn't do this because life feeds on TL's aura (thus removing it's need for water and Oxygen) but it's a good tip nonetheless.
- Recycle Newspaper. There are 63 million newspapers printed each day in the U.S. Of these, 44 million, or about 69%, of them will be thrown away, of these, 3 of them, or 0.0001%, we use for daily Arts and Crafts. You can use newspapers too. For example, we recommend using any/all Paul Sullivan columns to wrap up fish.
- Go Vegetarian Once A Week. According to some experts, one less meat-based meal a week helps the planet and your diet. For example: It requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. Ted's solution? Drink sewer water. Ted's absurd kidneys filter out most waste, but TL has to have some time to pitch. Pitch in yourself, try the tofu next time.
- Recycle Glass. TLFC's recommendation? Drink canned Bud Extra (official canned beer of the Ted Lilly Fan Club). If that doesn't work, chew the glass yourself to amp up your Tedstensity
With that in mind, we welcome in a guest prognosticator, Mother Earth, with today’s prediction:
7 Full IP, 8Ks, 2BB, 1 earned run and an entire garden of spring marigolds planted in the Earth’s honor.
The trip to Cy Young station in our hybrid train continues today...Fire it up environmentally-responsible Ted Heads!

Safe to assume that we can start calling Ted "Captain Planet"?
Can we call Ted's Abs Tedda Firma?
"Terra Firma" makes so much sense since, in a way, Ted is the foundation off which the Cubs season/success will be built.
Drinking a Sanka/Bud Extra cocktail (the "Sextra") in your honor, Rich.
It's no coincidence that Earth Day is also TL Day. I think it's clear what the universe is saying: the world is on TL's shoulders, and he's the only one who can save it.
I predict TL can save the world in the time between the morning Sanka and working on his abs. I mean, he only needs about 10 minutes, right?
Just saw the news that Tribune sports reporter/good guy Bob Sakamoto got laid off.
Is there an editor's gig at the TLFC open?
