That's terrible

Who will they call up now. Pepsi? Coke? Neither one is good at quenching a thirst as Gatorade. Anything in the lower leagues available like Red Bull or Vitamin Water?

I think I'm gonna order a jersey with GATORADE on it.

I feel so bad for the dispenser.

As I said in BLou's anger management thread

I should have posted the over/under on the game the slurpee machine would get nailed….all the way to the end of May, with 2 attacks in less than a week!

Heres hoping the cooler returns sooner and gets used more than Aaron Miles does for the rest of the season!

I heard Power Aid is showing good numbers in the minors

It is quenching thirst at an amazing 78% of the time, catching up to Gatorades 95%. This could be the big break Powerade has been waiting for.

But can Power Aid Quench at in the Majors?

While Power Aid may have been doing well at the AAA level, it is questionable if it can really handle thirst at the Major League level. Power Aid also has a bit of a strangury problem.

The Cubs might be well advised to check the transfer market. Rumour has it that Água Castello, Perrier and Hawaiian Punch might be available. Despite the fact that these are fairly untried in in the baseball world, they do have good records in their current fields of endeavour. And it would not be the first time that a refreshment changed venues with success.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

The Hey Kool-Aid! Dude was brought in for an audition and failed miserably.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
