I'm thrilled I don't have to use the "Spring Training" tag for another 11 months or so. I was originally going to post James Earl Jones' speech from Field of Dreams to get you in the baseball mood. I hate to say it, but the older I get, the more bored I get with that movie. So, ... Read More

Friday Night Fukudome: Bradley vs. Cutler
Posted On 03 Apr 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Friday Night Fukudome, Spring Training.
First, congratulations to the Chicago Blackhawks for clinching their first playoff appearance since 2002. Good luck, guys.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a Cubs blog. But yesterday, the Bears acquired Jay Cutler, arguably the best quarterback they've ever had. Who knew he was so jacked? And who knew a Google image search for "Jay Cutler" would yield such surprising results? Anyhow, Roundup time.

This is the moment you have all been waiting for. This week's Muskbox is informative, it's entertaining, it's exciting, it's the opposite of everything we'd expect from the Muskbox, and it's right in front of you. Maybe. Just maybe. Cubs fans are become sentient.

FRANKS AND BEANS!

It's not every day a 95 year old millionaire dies and I'm sad about it, but forgive me for donning the Bob Greene/Rick Telander/Mitch Albom Maudlin Cap of Sentimentality today as I report with a heavy heart that Herman Franks passed away early yesterday.
As I had described to GROTA last September--right before these cockbags got swept out of ... Read More
