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 [...]

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!

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. These guys were so dominant that they didn’t even HAVE numbers on the backs of their jerseys. Just like the Cubs [...]

Leo the Lip was just full of nuggets: On Jackie Robinson: I don’t care if the guy is yellow or black, or if he has stripes like a fucking zebra. I’m the manager of this team and I say he plays. He can’t hit, he can’t field, he can’t run—all he can do is beat you. On the College [...]

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

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 [...]
