Time to Set the Postseason Roster

Paul Sullivan is suggesting that Jason Marquis may not make the NLDS roster, after Marquis was shelled by the Reds on Sunday after coming on in relief of Ted Lilly. Sullivan also suggests that Ryan Dempster, who was rocked by the Reds, who has been terrible in September, and who is the favorite whipping boy [...]

A Message From Lou: Holy Fucking Shit!

WOOOOOO! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO! I swiped that little turd Sullivan’s iPhone so I could say hi to all you celebrating little internerds from the madhouse that is the locker room right now! I don’t know why the hell you’re sitting there on your computer instead of motorboating some chick with big titties, but more power to [...]

Cubs Magic Number Countdown: The 1908 Chicago Cubs

Nearly 100 years ago, the Chicago Cubs beat the Detroit Tigers for the second straight year to win back-to-back championships. It was the last time the Cubs won the World Series.

Cubs Magic Number Countdown: Mordecai Brown

That old paw served me pretty well in its time. It gave me a firmer grip on the ball, so I could spin it over the hump. It gave me a greater dip. -Mordecai “Three Fingers” Brown Thanks to CT for the idea.

Feeling Bad? Let’s Rip on the Brewers

Well, the writers in Milwaukee finally realized they have a baseball team, and now they’re trying to act all fired up about the Brewers by writing idiotic fluff. The article is in quotes. My snarky comments are not.

HJE Declared Panic-Free Zone

No matter what some idiots will tell you, the Cubs still control their own destiny. They have four games left with a magic number of four (or possibly three after tonight). Hell, even if the Brewers win out and the Cubs win 3 of 4, they’re tied. Keep some perspective. We’re not Cardinals fans, for [...]

Leitch: Cardinals Would Never Taint Game by Tanking

Oh, hello there. I didn’t see you. I was just enjoying a glass of red wine–which is, of course, the color worn by the finest team in baseball with the finest fans in baseball–and unwinding in front of the fire as I watch my beloved Cardinals go to battle with the Brewers of Milwaukee. What? [...]
