What the Bloody Hell????

So I'm loving life, watching playoff baseball, when what do I see?  An Aquafina commercial starring Lou Pinella pretending to be angry about an umps' call; he feels obligated to argue but isn't really upset b/c drinking aquafina has made him happy. He is really just yelling pleasantries at the ump.

 Now, at this point I'm seeing a stupid, but unremarkable commercial - Until in the last frame none other than soap opera star JJ Hardy is shown leading off of third base as he remarks to the cubs third baseman (presumably ARAM, but I didn't notice) that ol' Lou seems like a great guy.

What I need to know is: did JJ choose to be in this commercial, or was it just MLB footage with a randon voice over with JJ having no say in the matter?

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't like seeing Brewers players appearing in commercials featuring Cubs managers or players or whatever.  Especially scant days after they won the division over us by a couple of games....JJ Hardy: you are under the eye.

JJ
can star in a remake of Bosom Buddies with Carlos Zambrano for all I care.  It's not going to make him want to kick the crap out of the Cubs any less.

You are looking at this all wrong.
The fact they chose a Brewers player and not somebody from the Mets or Dodgers shows the Brewers are on the national radar.

I think nation wide, people are starting to get hip to the Cubs Brewers rivalry.  Using a Brewer or a White soxs players makes the most sense and the Cubs Brewers season long fight for the division made J.J. the perfect choice.

It is a great story line if it contiunes to grow classic spunky little city dashes hopes of Goliath city.  

I was pretty stoked by the fact they used  J.J.

My God Yost is coming back the 2008 season is already a disaster and they have not thrown a pitch yet. ;)

Ode to spring.

I like the snow as much as anybody who likes snow. I even don't dread shoveling. Still, I find myself anxious for spring. 

Why?

I can't wait to play hookey from work or school and make it to a game at Miller Park. I want to have the money I save now go to a goal other than just tuition and bills. I want to sit behind home plate and watch Brauny hit a monstrous homer.

And that, my friends, is all I want for Christmas - spring.
