Take THAT, English language! After a three-week hiatus, the Muskbox is back! One forgets how much one truly loves the Muskbox until one goes three weeks without one. And then, when one is one question into said Muskbox, one recalls why one enjoyed the three-week respite from it. One. I've always been a Reed Johnson fan from ... Read More

You know that old adage, "If you can't laugh at yourself, then you suck"? I have to give credit to Carrie for not sucking today. (HT: James) Good one, Carrie. We're one step closing to you fisking one of the Muskboxes, and then I'll have to fisk that, and we'll just keep passing the same article ... Read More

You can just imagine my jubilation when I read the title to this week's Muskbox. "How Clutch is Theriot?" the Muskbox inquired. "THIS MANY!" Theriot responded, holding up three fingers on his right hand and one finger on his left hand. And that's how this Muskbox was born. I know Ryan Theriot has had some clutch hits recently, ... Read More

What's better than having Dolan do a guest Muskbox? Well, getting back-to-back Muskboxes, of course! It's like last week's Muskbox is scissoring this week's Muskbox in a loving- ah, forget it. That's fucking gross. Let's just dive into this week's nightmare. I can assure you that it is terrible, as I noticed an awful, awful ... Read More

As a favor to me, and because he's secretly in love with Carrie Muskat, Andy Dolan of Desipio takes his swings at the dumbest Q&A this side of Dave Kaplan's show. This week's Muskbox will be covered in due time. Last week, the Kerms were in lovely Mexico where they routinely vacation. They go there for two reasons. ... Read More

Maybe the switch from the Muskbag to the Muskbox fried Carrie's brain, because she has apparently forgotten that "question, THEN answer" format upon which she so heavily relied in the past. First of all, she put a video in this week's Muskbox, instead of a picture. So, instead, I had to find a picture of this old guy ... Read More

Last week, the Muskbox came out on Thursday, presumably because Carrie knows that Fridays at HJE are Sweet Uncle Lou's time to shine. But you can't hide the Muskbox from me, Carrie. Especially since it's so stupid, it emits an odor. So, here we go. Now that Jeff Samardzija has been sent to Triple-A Iowa, will he work ... Read More

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. How long do you think Lou Piniella will give Kosuke Fukudome to produce? ... Read More

How long has the Muskbag been back in Muskbox form? A couple of months? Why is this still at the top of every single one? The mailbag is back, but it's now the Inbox... Are there people out there so hopelessly confused that they can't find this column? Some Dipshit's Thoughts: I think I'll head to my favorite site, Cubs.com, to see ... Read More

For some reason, the Muskbox is mercifully short this week. Maybe Care Bear had something better to do. Like train her flying monkeys to attack that bitch from Kansas. Away we go. I haven't been able to follow the Cubs' spring as much as I'd like to, being on the East Coast, but what are Koyie Hill's chances ... Read More
