BUD SELIG sits alone in his office on a chair designed as a full-size model of Barry Bonds' head. He practices his thoughtful expression in a mirror on his desk. Did I mention that the desk is constructed of boxes filled with "1994 World Series" t-shirts? And let's just say the mirror is made of hypodermic needles ... Read More

Lou Is More Wrong than Nickleback Winning a Grammy
Posted On 10 Feb 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: NL Central.
I love when Lou Piniella says stuff, preferably into microphones. When Lou came out in support of Mark McGwire a month ago, I thought he was full of crap. This week, he confirmed it. In case you missed it, Lou suggested that Cubs fans will forgive McGwire for taking steroids. Lou hasn't been more wrong since ... Read More
Taquito from Pilsen Watches the Muskbox on The U
Posted On 09 Feb 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
Our latest installment of the Muskbox commits a fallacy of the undistributed middle, frets over the career of Micah Hoffpauir, and throws a wild kegger in Vinton, Iowa! Join me, won't you, on our weekly excursion into the minds of the mentally-impaired?
Why don't the Cubs just go ahead and let Castro open the season at shortstop and move Ryan ... Read More
Skip’s Comment of the Week: February 5, 2010
Posted On 05 Feb 2010 By Skip. Under: Ex-Cubs, Skip's Comment of the Week.
Howdy, gang! We had an awful lot of comments from which to choose this week, but one stood out above the rest, and it's from our old pal A-Ram Baller in the "Paul Sullivan burned my Bible" post.
A-Ram does what we should all do every once in a while. Poke a little fun at ourselves.
I am just glad ... Read More
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Peace, Love, Dopes” Edition
Posted On 05 Feb 2010 By Sweet Uncle Lou. Under: Ex-Cubs, Lou's Friday Roundup.
Sigh. I leave you guys for one week, and all hell breaks loose around here. Can't you nerds just realize that you're all nerds and embrace one another at the next Star Trek convention? Or do MORE than hug? Look, for a bunch of people who root for a team that hasn't done dick in a ... Read More
Paul Sullivan Gave My Imaginary Kid Boner Cancer
Posted On 03 Feb 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Blogs You Shouldn't Read, Broadcasters & Journalists.
For some reason, our good friend PAUL SULLIVAN has been taking an awful beating lately from some blogs you probably don't read. I don't like it. I don't care if you think it's because I've shared a beer with Paul. I don't care if you think you can beat up me and Paul in a steel cage ... Read More
They’re Coming to Take the Muskbox Away. Ho Ho. Hee Hee. Ha Ha.
Posted On 02 Feb 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
It has finally happened. After reading the dumbest of the dumb questions submitted by Cubs fans to the Muskbox, her brain has finally snapped in twain. And now, they're coming to take her away to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and she'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean ... Read More
Throw Up
Posted On 01 Feb 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Transactions.
Oh, Jim Hendry. Just when you had me excited about the Xavier Nady signing and the Chad Tracy signing, you do something silly, like sign Kevin Millar. There is likely no way this move will affect the Major League club. Millar sucks and likely can't outplay, well- anyone. If he makes his way to Chicago, the ... Read More
