Another week passes, and another comment rises to fame. This week's star comment comes from our Milton Bradley discussion. EnricoPallazzo paints this dream scenario (seriously) which will, unfortunately, probably never happen. I say we suspend Cubs baseball for a period of two years. Trade away any talent we have at the AAA and above level for money (to pay current ... Read More

Hey, gang! Either you guys are terrified of the new commenting system or you're upset that the team you follow has taken a nose dive, because there weren't many comments to choose from this week. That's great news for you folks who are dying for a Comment of the Week trophy, like Grow Stubs Grow is. His ... Read More

Hey there, gang! This week, while you were busy not watching the Cubs lose, we had an impressive debut by a new poster. That's why Ghost of Lynn McGlothlen is the winner of this week's Comment of the Week for this gem. Hey, Kerm�ol� Lynn here. Just remember when your �Mad Dog� turns seven, you�ll have to ship him ... Read More

Hello, gang! It's good to see you all back after a very rough week of Cubs baseball. Though there is a bright side to having a rough week. The angst-filled comments by you guys get better and better the worse the team plays. So, I'm declaring all of you owners of the Comment of the Week. ... Read More

Hello again, gang! It's time to pick out another funny, stupid, or grammatically-incorrect comment that you may have missed this week! This week's dose of craziness comes from a White Sox fan. Surprised? You should be. "Mike" weighs in on a post written over a year and two months ago with this: I was born in the early ... Read More

It was sort of a slow week, which explains why there weren't as many challengers to the Comment of the Week this time. However, leave it to Mike D. to write something that still has people pissed off over a month after it was written. With that, I award Skip's Comment of the Week to bethany, who declared ... Read More

Well, gang, it's been yet another great week of comments. I don't know if you guys are trying to win an award or if it's just happenstance, but you have REALLY stepped up your game. I'm standing at the top step of the dugout applauding you all right now. I was awful tempted to choose Denton's comment ... Read More

Hello, gang! There were SO MANY GOOD COMMENTS to choose from this week, that old Skip had a hard time picking out just one. There was the guy who threatened to punch Mike D.'s teeth down his throat, using such clever insults as "BLOGGERS LIVE IN THEIR MOM'S BASEMENTS." There was the comment on a two-month-old article ... Read More

Okay, so Lou is out of town and didn't get a chance to do the Roundup this week. I apologize. I have some good tips from all of you, and Lou will use them if not sometime this weekend, then for next week's Roundup. I apologize if you were productive today. Tips, as always, can go ... Read More

I've noticed that there have been some absolutely mind-numbing comments on HJE, and that not all of them were written by me. Most of the truly hilarious ones are written on long-forgotten B126 entries, usually accusing me of being jealous of Doug Dascenzo. Of course I'm jealous of every Major League Baseball player. They played Major League ... Read More
