Friday Night Fukudome: Bradley vs. Hundley
Posted On 05 Mar 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Ex-Cubs, Friday Night Fukudome.
Milton Bradley plays baseball for a living. Yet, somehow, he is one of the unhappiest, most petulant assholes on the planet. And it's all YOUR fault that he is. YOUR fault. Die, Milton, you son of a bitch. When you blame the fans you put yourself in some elite company, the case against whom is ... Read More

Posted On 05 Mar 2010 By Skip. Under: Skip's Comment of the Week.

This Comment of the Week comes from blueslacker in this week's Muskbox.

Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “What the Hell is a ‘Rising Starlin’” Edition
Posted On 05 Mar 2010 By Sweet Uncle Lou. Under: Cubs, Lou's Friday Roundup.

The guys at Razzball have very generously invited us to participate in their league again. They care more about their readers than I do ... Read More
Wherein Kermit Abandons the Awful 2K Series
Posted On 03 Mar 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Video Game Baseball.
Because it has sort of become an annual tradition, and because it annoys Mike D. more than Ron Santo reading a national ad for bicycle safety, I'm going to go ahead and give you a pseudo-review of the latest in video game baseballery. Only this year I have finally had the brains to completely abandon the awful, awful 2K ... Read More
The Muskbox Has No Idea When to Fuld ‘Em
Posted On 02 Mar 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
Has any player ever gotten more mileage out of a single catch than Sam Fuld has? I've heard Cubs fans speak less respectfully of Wilie Mays' catch. Sam Fuld strives to be David Eckstein, only in a less-useful position. However, since Jim Hendry decided to spend $34M on an outfield of platoon players, each week we have ... Read More
