I'm back, gang, and I'm bigger than Jesus. No, just kidding. I'm definitely bigger than Kirk Gibson, though, I can assure you of that. It's Comment of the Week time. It may come as no shock that the Muskbox generates a lot of good comments. It did again this week, courtesy of blueslacker: I wish BJ ... Read More

Another week, another bunch of comments. Many, many of them were excellent. So you should all give yourselves a hearty dugout clap. But there can be only one Comment of the Week! I believe we have a first-time winner this week. JayT posted this beauty in "The Best $162 I've Ever Spent" thread. So if the Cubs end ... Read More

Another week, another twelve comments, and a new champion rises to the top of the heap! This week's Comment of the Week came, as so many do, from the Muskbox. Waco Kid had this to say about Tyler Colvin: I�m just glad that Colvin decided to add the 25 lbs of �good� muscle instead of opting for the �bad� muscle. There is ... Read More

Happy Friday, lady and gentlemen! It's that time of week, again. Time when Skip dusts off the internet, combs through the comment section, chuckles heartily at comments like PH Steamer's, "I�ve been reading this site for only 3 years? It feels like an eternity," and chooses a Comment of the Week. It was nice to see all of you ... Read More

Howdy, folks! It's only been a month since the Skipper made his picks for Comment of the Week. Is that MY fault, or is it YOU who have failed as commenters? You. It is you. This Comment of the Week comes from blueslacker in this week's Muskbox. Woah, hang on. I don�t recall anybody saying they were going ... Read More

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

Hey, there, gang! Skip has been falling behind in his comment selection, so this week, you get two comments for the price of one. How exciting is that? Our first comment was turned in by our old pal, Mark Giangreco Roman Wrestler: If Mike Quade reads this blog, he is so gonna paint slanted eyebrows on his forehead to signify ... Read More

It's that time of week again, gang. The time of week when we crown a champion. Someone worthy to carry the weight that comes with the bearer of the title of "Comment of the Week." In keeping with the theme of the week, this week's winner commented about none other than Hall of Famer, Andre Dawson. Blueslacker has ... Read More

Hello, gang! There were a lot of good comments this week, but today's news that Milton Bradley was traded to the Mariners for terrible pitcher Carlos Silva led to a bushel of good nuggets that trumped them all. My favorite one of them all came from paintersix, who had this to say: I think Ricketts is a dumbass as well. I ... Read More

Boy, oh, boy. How long has it been since old Skip posted a Comment of the Week? Days? Weeks? Months? YEARS!? Mea culpa, ladies and gentlemen. Like a phoenix rising from Joe Altobelli's ashes, I have returned for this week's... Few things make me chuckle more than a commenter who stumbles onto HJE, has ... Read More
