The long-running blog of American poet Thomas L. Vaultonburg: poetry, horror and cult movies, Rockford history, cryptids, art, humor, gaming, and cultural commentary.
I just checked MLB.com to verify this, but at the exact instant I write this blog, Theo Epstein and his band of baseball savants, including his right-hand man Jed Hoyer, are responsible for building three last place teams. That's right, The Cubs, The Padres, and The Boston Red Sox are all in last place right now. All they need is five years and a billion dollars and they can build something really special. I think most of us could.
The sweet smell of... last place
And the builder of the last place San Diego Padres' franchise. Sure are pretty, aren't they?
That's all. Just wanted to point out that the general management of the Cubs has built three teams that are currently in last place.
Go Cubs, go.

March Madness gets even madder when it is revealed that Indiana coach Tom Crean is a...
Shadmock!!!!
I think it's best Vinnie the P explains what a Shadmock is.
Now that you know what it is a Shadmock is and what they do it is my obligation as to inform you that Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean is...
A Shadmock!!!
No, coach, don't whistle. I'll play help-side defense, I swear.
Tom, this is uncle Lichtem calling up from the old country. I just put a million on IU to beat Kentucky in the third round. I trust you won't let me down, nephew.
Bow down to my awesome Photoshop skills
Tommmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, uncle Lichtem.
He really was a good boy. Just couldn't coach a zone defense for shit.
February 21, 2013 update: I just secured a copy of the super rare Monster Club Soundtrack on Ebay, and the Indiana men's basketball team is ranked #1 in the nation. Coincidence? I think not.
