Instant Replay Is Fine, But Already Needs Fixing
I know your thoughts have already turned toward tomorrow night’s early evening’s late afternoon’s NLDS showdown between the Dodgers and the Cubs, but please permit me a brief rant about Bud Selig’s idiocy. I believe it was Sunday when I was listening to Pat and Ron on the radio, and Pat mentioned that on [...]
Sveum Sets Postseason Pitching Rotation
Magic Number Countdown: 11
11 more wins. That’s all the Cubs need to collect to make the unthinkable thinkable and to set off what will be the most ridiculous party in the history of the city of Chicago. You know HJE has a plan to count this down in style. Below are my top eleven moments [...]
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 [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Someday is Today” Edition
First off, Kermit wanted me to let you know that he has the three most important Cubs songs that you need to know before the postseason starts posted in the sidebar now. I don’t even know what a sidebar is. Commie. You guys like how we gave the Brewers a scintilla of [...]
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 [...]
It’s a Terrible Time to Turn on the Large Hadron Collider
If the Cubs decide to follow my clever plan to sweep the Brewers at Wrigley Field this week, they will have wrapped up their second playoff berth in two years. That hasn’t happened since, oh, 1907 and 1908, the only two years in which the Cubs have won the World Series. So, is [...]
Who Wants to Win the NL Central?
Seriously? Is this how it’s going to be in September? I was in the midst of a party to appease J-Kerm on Saturday. When I turned off the Cubs game, they had a very comfortable 9-1 lead. Ned Ryerson on Sunday told me that the final of the game was 14-9. [...]
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 [...]
A Very Special, Completely Lucid Muskbag!
Nah, just kidding. It’s dumb again. That’s 1,023 horrible questions in a row, if you’re keeping track. Of course, if you are, you’re dumber than a Muskbag. I only do it because it’s my job. My free job.
