And hey, it’s Cutesie!  How have you been, champ?  Long time no see! Well, my furry little friend, it was a pretty appalling 2010 season for the Cubs, wasn’t it? However, for good or ill, the team was officially eliminated from play-off contention last night. So there’s nothing to fret about any more. Go out and have some fun, Cutesie! No more worrying for you!

    The Cubs don’t win the Pennant!!! The Cubs don’t win the Pennant!!!!!

  • You know, SOME team’s fans look forward to next season with hope and optimism, instead of an ever-increasing sense of despair and Lovecraftian terror. Maybe Ken and Cutesie should switch their allegiance to, say, the New Jersey Nets.

    Cutesie would probably like some cat treats shaped like baby bears.

  • For what it’s worth, Cutesie’s anxiety towards 2011 is not misplaced. The Cubs are albatrossed by the massive contracts left behind by the Tribune Corp., which went on a crazy spending spree knowing the new owner would be left holding the bag. Sure enough, eight or nine not very good players will be owed about $110 million next year. That will leave maybe $20 million to fill out the entire remainder of the roster. And count on attendance to be down next year as well, so that doesn’t help.

    After two more years, most of those contracts will have expired, and the Ricketts family can actually start shaping their own team. However, Soriano will be eating up about $20 million a year for FOUR MORE YEARS. He won’t be off the payroll until the 2015 season.

    I’ve missed Cutesie.

  • Poor Cutsie. Can he at least haz cheezburger?

  • Cutesie eats and drinks nothing but bitter bitter dregs.

    That Soriano contract is mind-boggling.

    I feel for you brother. Neither of our clubs have had the chance to celebrate winning the Series in our new stadiums.

    I’m sure another worthy team will come out of the Central to represent.

    CUTESIE! Hooray, it’s so good to see you again, little guy!

    Cutesie? A-are you okay?

    … Cutesie?

    CUTESIE, NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

  • Charles

    Nice job Ken, my wife is under the bed sobbing now ;).

  • Well, considering that this is Cutesie’s first appearance wherein he isn’t actually contemplating suicide, you’d think she’d be happier. On the other hand, it is well known that members of the fairer sex are prone to brain fever, so perhaps that explains her even more than typically agitated state.

  • Ericb

    Maybe she’s thinking about Jay Cutler.

  • John Campbell

    Wimmins get the brain fevers eh!

    Well durn Ken that explains everthang!

    (I say that freely because my wife doesn’t read this!)

  • John Campbell

    Cutesie could do his/her/it’s own MoTD!

    That’s one scary kitty!

    Seriously.

    It’s the eyes I tell you. It’s like they’re devouring your soul!

  • “You know, the Law of Averages says ‘anything will happen that can’, that’s what it says. But the last time the Cubbies won the National League Pennant was the year we dropped the bomb on Japan.”

    — from “A Dying Cub Fan’s Last Request”, and unfortunately still true.

    Given her reaction here, I hope Elizabeth never watches “The Land Unknown.”
