Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “But It’s Only Wednesday” Edition
Kermit is going out of town tonight and staying out of town until Monday, so the whole HJE gang is allowed take a breather if they want to. I can’t speak for Mike D., but I’m going to take advantage of it. But I wouldn’t dare leave you idiots without anything to read [...]
How I Spent My Summer Baseball Season
I was talking with Pre the other day, and Pre made the astute observation (thank you, Pre) that Alfonso Soriano’s recent “Player Perspectives” essay was clearly a punishment handed to him by Lou Piniella for not running out a recent deep fly ball. It’s clear that Soriano had help on the essay. Fortunately, [...]
God Delivers Apocalypse, Ten Commandments
I have never seen weather like I have at Wrigley Field last night, and I’ve driven alongside a tornado (insert JO joke here, you delinquents). Ned Ryerson and I were sitting in almost the exact center of the upper deck with as much roof hanging over both sides of us as possible, and we [...]

The Opposite of Indifference is SWEEP
Petty? Juvenile? Trifling? YES. And I love it. After Saturday’s game, when the Ozzhole said that Jim Edmonds wasn’t a good acquisition for the Cubs (Jim is putting up a .311/.358/.581 with the Cubs, by the way), he had to trot his team out for a 7-1 drubbing at the [...]
You Gone, White Sox
Congratulations, White Sox. This is officially the last coverage you’ll ever get on HJE. You get very little coverage to begin with because, quite frankly, most Cubs fans with half a brain couldn’t care less whether you win, lose, or take a lethal overdose of methamphetamines. Quite honestly, the only time I [...]
Congratulations, Slezak; You’re a Dumbass
Well, Carol Slezak, congratulations. You’re up in arms once again, bitching and moaning about the White Sox for putting inflatable sex dolls in their locker room. Let me repeat that, Carol. IN THEIR LOCKER ROOM. Far be it from me to defend the White Sox for anything, but Slezak has about [...]
