A Tedriffic Weekend (At Least That's What People Tell Us)

Whew! Where did that weekend go!?!

We know. It went in a bottle. A bottle of sweet, sweet, victory cut with some tasty TL soda, served in an Ivy colored glass full of sunshine. Only trouble is, a couple of these 'Teds On a Beach' cocktails makes for one nasty hangover.

One nasty hangover means little-to-no blog post-TL start from the TLFC (sorry). Yesterday our eyes couldn't stand the normally warm, embracing, glow and mind-numbing processing hum from our Ted Lilly Fan Club Super Computer, so we're here today... albeit briefly (three Sankas down, one to go).

• Jake MF'in Fox. The TLFC isn't going to sit here and say, "This guy is awesome" because anyone with his name is probably a pretty cool dude and you don't need to hear that. What we are going to say is that Jake Fox will win the Gold Glove at Third Base. There. How about that?

• Our Tedtatisic / TITLM moment? Still alive and kicking.

• Randy Wells gets his first win. We still prefer Smarsh in this roll but tip of the hat to you, Mr. Wells. Hope that you put that game ball in a case and sent it to your parents in Bellville, IL so that they can put in on the mantle next to your 4-H Club merit badge

• Via our pals at CNLOHO, the Tribune reported Mark DeRosa as saying, "It's going to take an immovable object for me not to face Ted Lilly with the wind blowing out." Dero did not play. The Immovable Object: Ted Lilly. Check and mate.

• In a shocking display of unity, 93% of TedHeads polled think TL should go 9 innings at the All Star Game. Now, we've already tweeted (how hip are we?) that Ted could also play the field and let some other people pitch, but the results of this poll lend a more interesting question: If TLFC has managed to establish this kind of awesome group think regarding Ted Lilly, how else could we wield the power of TedHead Nation? Start a PAC? Develop a Private Mercanary force for Ted? Possibilities are endless...

Finally, we saw another Acura TL model this weekend and, frankly Tedheads, we've had about enough of this. We've already called out Mr. Steven Center, Vice President of Advertising and Public Relations at American Honda Motor Co (parent of Acura), but we're about to take this further--feels like a million TedHead march on Honda HQ but stay tuned.

Dumpster goes tonight as the Cubs continue their 2009 Andrew Jackson Memorial Tour of Native American Ballclubs against the Braves...
