Up Yours DeRosa, And Your Legion Of Fanboys In Chicago
Call me arrogant. Call me naive. Accuse me of shaking my fist at the gods. But I can’t help but smugly smile upon hearing the news that serial saving-children-from-burning-houses hero and future first ballot Hall of Famer Mark DeRosa has been dealt to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Tony La Russa, Esq., Dmbfck.
By now, I’m sure you’ve already heard that Tony La Russa recently tried to sue Twitter because one of your fellow HJE/Desipio readers had the outstanding idea to “Tweet” on Tony’s behalf. The Tweets were hilarious. For example:
Lost 2 out of 3, but we made it out of Chicago without one drunk driving [...]
Ryan Braun is a Tw@
Before any Brewers fans catch wind of this and freak out, I want to clarify something right off the bat. I don’t care if the Cubs throw at Ryan Braun. I don’t want the guy’s blood like a lot of people do. It’s the Cubs’ prerogative if they think he was showing [...]
Skip’s Friday Roundup: Management Consultation Edition
Hi to the greatest group of overemployed literates this side of the San Francisco Bay! It’s me, Skip.
Lou sent me a quick e-mail this morning, and I thought I’d help him out:

SNEAK ATTACK!
Every day is “Pick on Phil Rogers” Day at HJE, so this will be no exception. As you know, in early February Phildo predicted the Houston Astros were planning a “sneak attack” on the Cubs. This is, of course, inordinately stupid. But after the Cubs beat the Astros last night to win [...]

Payback Time
After the Cubs did us all a favor and saved us all a good deal of stress by wrapping up the division on Saturday afternoon, I was a bit conflicted as to how I wanted this last week of the season to unfold. With the Cubs facing the Mets and then the Brewers, two [...]
Milwaukee Season Prognosis: NEGATIVE
It was a good run, Milwaukee, but there’s no need to show up for the rest of your games. You’re not going to recover from scoring only ONE run after loading the bases twice in five innings against Rich Harden. And surrendering four runs in the bottom of the 9th inning when you [...]
The Astros and Their Fans Sound Like Tina Turner
Have you ever heard anyone complain about Ike more than the Astros and their fans are doing this week? Yesterday, Cecil Cooper sat down with his long-time drinking Bud(dy) Selig to voice his “frustration” that the poor, poor Astros had to play two “home” games against the Cubs up at Miller Park. This [...]
Cry me a tropical storm, Astros fans
It’s been awhile since I stopped by, and I apologize. It’s just that Jim Essian Signing Day came, and I went on a bender. As soon as the glow of Signing Day came, the ledge jumpers had me scared off. I’m too old for this crap.
Anyway, I just wanted to note all that whining and [...]
