No, not the 9-game winning streak, you idiots. Cardinals Diaspora is the only Cardinals blog that's--well--good. Hell, it might be the only Cardinals blog in existence, for all we know. Anyhow, Kerm and I keep an eye on it to keep track of the temperature of the Cardinals fans. And every once in a while, we ... Read More

Photoshop #13: Len & Bob’s Facial Hair
Posted On 05 Jun 2008 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Photoshops.
Let's face it. There was really only one reason to be disappointed that the Cubs lost last night. And that was because we didn't get the opportunity to see Len Kasper with a mustache (awesome work, guys) and Bob Brenly without one. The guys on Comcast Photoshopped a pretty sweet facial hair swap between the two, but ... Read More
You Gone, White Sox
Posted On 05 Jun 2008 By Bad Kermit. Under: Around the MLB, Cubs.
Congratulations, White Sox. This is officially the last coverage you'll ever get on HJE. You get very little coverage to begin with because, quite frankly, most Cubs fans with half a brain couldn't care less whether you win, lose, or take a lethal overdose of methamphetamines. Quite honestly, the only time I can be bothered to root ... Read More
Michael Barrett–So Glad You’re Gone.
Posted On 05 Jun 2008 By Mike D.. Under: Ex-Cubs.
Ahhhhhh, Mikey. Meathead. Maroon. How your emotion-filled approach to baseball helped blunder this team through the maddening retardedness that was Cubs baseball from late 2004 until you were dealt last June. Seeing you on the opposite side of the field this week where even Ted Lilly was prepared to steal a base on you, reminds me ... Read More

A Special Report by Maple Bat
WHOOOO-HOOOOO! Maple Bat here! Shouting at you from Louisville, Kay-Why. KY. Like the lube I use when I stay at your house and jerk off in your guest bedroom! Ha ha! Whoo! You mind if I put my feet up? Maybe undo my pants a little bit? ... Read More
Steve Rosenbloom is Gonna Get Medieval on Your Ass
Posted On 03 Jun 2008 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs.
There's only one thing frustrating about having the Cubs emerge as one of the dominant forces in baseball. More success means more interest. More interest means more coverage. More coverage means more Steve Rosenbloom. At one point in our lives, we all had as much baseball knowledge as Steve Rosenbloom. At that point, I had ... Read More
Mark Prior, You Are Ridiculous
Posted On 02 Jun 2008 By Bad Kermit. Under: Around the MLB, Ex-Cubs.
As if a 7-0 homestand, an MLB-best 36-21 record, and an upcoming road trip against the hapless San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers aren't reason enough for a Cubs fan to be damn near giddy about the 2008 season, the good news keeps rolling in. When Jim Hendry refused to give Mark Prior more than what he was ... Read More
Cubs To The Month Of May: Your $20 Is On The Nightstand
Posted On 01 Jun 2008 By Mike D.. Under: Cubs, NL Central.
What's impressive about the fact that the Cubs followed up an unusually strong April with an equally dominant May is that May started with a very inauspicious 2-5 start. The difference is that they finished April losing four of their last six games while they finished May hotter than Josh Hamilton's old crack pipe; indeed, the only truly ... Read More
