I know your thoughts have already turned toward tomorrow night's early evening's late afternoon's NLDS showdown between the Dodgers and the Cubs, but please permit me a brief rant about Bud Selig's idiocy. I believe it was Sunday when I was listening to Pat and Ron on the radio, and Pat mentioned that on Saturday an unusual play had ... Read More

Magic Number Countdown: 11
Posted On 29 Sep 2008 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Postseason.
11 more wins. That's all the Cubs need to collect to make the unthinkable thinkable and to set off what will be the most ridiculous party in the history of the city of Chicago. You know HJE has a plan to count this down in style. Below are my top eleven moments of the 2008 season (in ... Read More

If my calculations are correct, there are going to be two roster slots available for the Cubs' three left-handed hitting outfielders. Let's let the Fukudome decide who should go to the NLDS (hint, look how happy Daryle looks, you heartless bastards!). You can select two of the three choices.
