Sunday Baseball: Cubs Vs. Reds--No Matter Who Wins, Arroyo Loses

Yep--Saturday night's loss still stings a little bit (can't blame little Fontenot--he can barely see above the steering wheel when he drives) but we're already looking ahead to Sunday afternoon's tilt against the Reds with the Randy Wells Experiment facing off against King D-Bag Bronson Arroyo.

While we've already covered of in the past on a potential d-bag face-off between Arroyo and Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen (link here), it bears repeating that, in the TLFC annals, Arroyo still ranks amongst our least-favorite people alive.

And, no matter what happens this afternoon (quick Sanka-fueled prediction: Cubs win 3-1 behind a 6.1 IP, 4 K, 2BB and 1 ER performance from RW), we just want to make it known, no matter who comes away with the victory, Arroyo still loses.

Let's do the math:
  • Fitting that his birthday is February 24 which is also the day that other classic dbags were born including NHLer Alexi Kovalev, hippie comedian Mitch Hedberg and Billy Zane
  • It's the year 2009 and the not-so-tech-savvy folks at BronsonArroyo.com can't swap out the lead photo of BA in his BoSox jersey from a few years back. If we can do bad photoshop on a quasi-daily basis, they can swap out one pic. We'd offer to help but that would be akin to helping Iran get yellowcake plutonium or teaching Brewer fans how to read
  • As opposed to Samson, Arroyo's hair is not a source of power except if "power" can be defined as a 80-78 career record and 4.21 ERA
  • Mistakenly believes that the Reds current record of 29-26 (one game ahead of our beloved Cubs) is a sign that the Reds have a shot at the post-season

So, again, Cubs Vs. Reds today at 12:10--no matter who wins, Arroyo loses
