Opening day is tomorrow for the Cubs. I just may blow off all plans and just show up. Cute dogs by the way.

Given that Friday’s forecast for Chicago is a rain/snow mix, you might want to just kick back at home and watch the Cubs on WGN. I’ve been to Cubs home openers in weather like that, and no matter how many layers in which you cocoon yourself, the hawk (the cold wind that chills your bones, and soul) gets you. I’ll very happily watch the boys on TV instead.

I’m sorry TBogg, but there is no room on that couch for you to watch baseball. You will have to get another couch. But I suggest you buy a third because those two will commandeer the second one. Oh hell, get a fourth.

Frank the Tank demonstrates how difficult it is to move a basset. Bassets have to want to be moved or you’re shit out of luck.

It’s always nice to see the boyz. Bassets are the best entertainment.

As Frank the Tank demonstrates.

Yes, I have fallen for yet another basset on the Internet. Heaven help me.

I just fell in love with Frank too. The Frank and the Fridge one was great too.

Yeah, Bucky is a dick. But for some reason I always liked Bobby Valentine.

Love those dogs.

I just had the misfortune of listening to Valentine on the ESPN broadcast. The man’s ego is as big as the all-outdoors: it’s all about him, don’t you. Orel Hershiser, on the other hand, is one of the best BB color men out there; I learn something every time I listen to him, and I’ve been following BB for over 40 years.

Oops, that should have been “don’t you know.”

Enjoy the season, Señor TBogg. We used to have major league baseball in Phoenix too, back in the day…

Watching a whole string of spring training games was a lot of fun this year, with all the new ballparks. The Cubs fans in from wherever – weird. Deeply, weird.

He may be a dick, but how does that article illustrate that?

Frank is a basset pin up ! my goodness, those rear cankles – really accentuate the platter paw-ness – thanks. good lord what a gorgeous baby !

note to Fenway and Wembley: you know I’m forever your girl, right ?

Showalter is a huge back of salted dicks, nearly as hate-a-ble as LaRussa.

Go Phightin’s!

Frank and Sarah and the Lettuce.

Is Sarah, Wembley’s sister?

Wembley shiny.

Bassets in action!
Did you see that? No, really!
Sorry, April Fools.

Why do we never get to see the pre-walk doggie re-inflation?

Ain’t nobody as hate-a-ble as Tony “I invented baseball” LaRussa. I think the clincher for me was his appearing on stage at the Glenn Beck “Restoring Honor” rally.

Not to mention, he supports Arizona’s new immigration law, thinks the Tea Party is “correct”, and drives drunk.

Aside from that, he’d be a great guy if only he were as smart as he thinks (and tells you) he is.

Also, too — he’s a lawyer.

That there brown dog’s keepin’ an eye on the business end of that there black dog.

Blue skies
Smilin’ at me
Nothin’ but blue skies
Do I see

(and two beautiful bassets, which enhances the blue skies.)
