Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Let’s Cover Baseball Like ESPN” Edition
I’m confused. Why is anyone surprised that Manny Ramirez is a total jackass? People are covering this story like it’s news. Ramirez isn’t some nice guy who had a goofy moment. He’s a total assbag. He always has been. All the stories about it are stupid. What’s next? Are we going to get a bunch [...]
The Lazy Blogger’s Offseason Improvement Thread: The Starting Rotation
You know the drill. Who goes? Who stays? Who would have thought that Chewbacca was a lefty?
The Lazy Blogger’s Offseason Improvement Thread: The Infield
The Shoutbox is down for some reason, so I’m still going to take a lazy man’s approach to the next couple days of blogging. With that said, you guys again do the work. For shits and giggles, let’s assume the Cubs have an owner sometime before December (impossible, I know, but necessary for any sort [...]
The Fantastical Delusions of Johnnie B. Baker
On Monday, the Cincinnati Reds officially introduced their new manager, Dusty Baker. (Thanks to Reds fan “Ebert” for the picture! Our condolences.) BONUS: Dusty is contracted to manage a team in the NL Central which is NOT the Cubs for the next three years. DOUBLE BONUS: They gave him a microphone during the press conference. [...]
Condolences to the City of Cincinnati
It looks like Christmas came a couple months early for the rest of the NL Central, as the Cincinnati Reds have signed Dusty Baker to a three-year contract. To MANAGE the team, in case that’s not clear. Yes, the same Reds who are in the NL Central and who watched Dusty manage the Cubs. No, [...]

Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Brandon Webb is Mortal? Whaaaaaaat?!” Edition
Welcome to the first Roundup of the offseason, jerkbags. Have you gotten over the fact that I pulled Zambrano 85 pitches into Game One? He’s going to be pretty goddamn rested for Opening Day next year, and then you won’t be bitching.
The Lazy Blogger’s Offseason Improvements Thread: The Outfield
I’m still a bit exhausted from the season, so I’m going to take a lazy man’s approach to the next couple days of blogging. Lou will post tomorrow, and the T79 will be much more frequent in the offseason, but I need to recharge my batteries a bit over the next couple of days. With [...]
Remember When Barry Rozner Was Competent?
You could point to a lot of things that didn’t go right for the Cubs this season. Carlos Zambrano taking three months off. Half of Jason Marquis’ starts. Derrek Lee’s complete lack of power for the first half of the season, or Cliff Floyd’s and Jacque Jones’ lack of power all year. A terrible start [...]
A Message From Harry Doyle: “Go, Tribe!”
Hello, everybody, Harry Doyle here, welcoming all you Friends of the Feather to another postseason of Indians baseball. I know a lot of you are disappointed about the way your own season turned out, so I’d like to invite you to join the great fans of Cleveland in supporting the Indians the rest of the [...]
