Friday Night Fukudome: Harden vs. Peavy
Shockingly, it appears that the Cubs are somehow the frontrunner in the Jake Peavy sweepstakes. If Jim Hendry pulls this trade off, he will have traded for Rich Harden and Peavy, two of the best pitchers in the game, over the course of about four months. And he will have done it with [...]
Friday Night Fukudome: Joe the Plumber vs. The Joker
It’s Halloween night. This is the best holiday of the year. You get to escape from your meaningless life for a few hours, you don’t have to go visit relatives, and normally nice girls dress like prostitutes. I figure there are going to be two costumes above all others worn by guys [...]
Friday Night Fukudome: Phillies vs. Rays
It’s been nearly a month since the last FNF because, quite frankly, thinking about Kosuke sort of pisses me off now. But that doesn’t mean the FNF must die. Anyhow, the World Series is tied at one game a piece and is already the most exciting World Series since 2002. What’s that? [...]
Friday Night Fukudome: Hoffpauir vs. Pie vs. Ward
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.

Micah Hoffpauir
Felix Pie

Friday Night Fukudome: The “Spit Out the Marbles, Eddie” Edition
We’re going to figure out what the hell Eddie Vedder is saying in “Someday We’ll Go All the Way” once and for all and have THE definitive lyrics on the web right here at HJE. But I need your help. There are two back-to-back lines of controversy:
We are not fairweather, but _________ weather [...]
Friday Night Fukudome: Rich Harden vs. Carlos Zambrano
It’s a simple enough question, but what’s the answer?
VS.
Rich Harden
Carlos Zambrano
Friday Night Fukudome: Neal Cotts vs. Bobby Howry

Neal Cotts
Bobby Howry
Friday Night Fukudome: Yunel Escobar vs. Edgar Renteria
Before you ask, no, I’m not letting this go. Hey, Atlanta. It’s not our fault that your once-dominant team now licks taint. There’s no need to blame the Cubs for the fact that your best position player is 36 years old and your best pitcher is 41. Maybe you should have [...]
Friday Night Fukudome: Jim Edmonds vs. Gary Gaetti
God help us all, Jim Edmonds is awesome. Is he Gary Gaetti awesome, though?
VS.
Jim Edmonds
Gary Gaetti
Friday Night Fukudome: Cardinals Series vs. Brewers Series
Remember way back to September 1, 2003, when the Cubs started that five-game series in Wrigley Field against the first-place Cardinals, and ended up mauling them and passing them in the standings? Antonio Alfonseca also got suspended for being so fat that he couldn’t get his belly out of the way of umpire Justin [...]
