Boo Mike Downey! Um, yay Mike Downey!

Not huge fans of Mike Downey in these parts. I can’t remember reading a Downey column that lent any particular insight into anything, but that might be a case more of me being too young to remember Downey’s glory days. He’s just always sort of been there, you know?

Anyway, I was getting ready to summon TEH ANGER over this Alfonso Soriano column, when Downey totally turned me around like four different times. Expecting him to rip Soriano a new one for being, I don’t know, too jumpy, Downey did this:

Quite a few grownups at Wrigley Field could use a good talking to, too.

You could start with those who feel Mark Cuban is exactly the new owner that the Cubs need, oblivious to the fact his NBA Dallas Mavericks continue to be one of the biggest packs of choking dogs in all of professional sports.

And then you could have a word or two with any stupendously stupid knucklehead who knocks Alfonso Soriano.

If you are a true-blue Cubs fan with half a brain under your cap, you should be overjoyed to have Soriano back in the lineup if he returns Thursday as expected.

Grr Mike Downey! Mark Cuban would be a great Cubs owner, or at least a preferable one!

And screw your for ripping Alfons — wha? You like Alfonso Soriano? You don’t think he’s a prima donna because he has that big poster next to the Sports Authority on La Salle? You don’t think his little hop is worthy of invective? You’re not convinced he’s the Antichrist?

Touche, Msr. Downey. Tou. Che.
