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 [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Is the Regular Season Already Over?” Edition
First of all, thanks to TJ Brown for the picture. Secondly, holy crap. Is it really the end of September? It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating the birth of our country by firing explosives into the air and stuffing Lee Greenwood into a dumpster. Whaddya mean, “That WAS just [...]
Muskbaggery
This week’s Muskbag is chock full of personal questions, propositions, and SAM FULD. Hurray!
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, [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “We’re Good, and That’s the Tooth” Edition
So, Carlos Zambrano went out and beat the Reds even after chewing his gum so hard that he cracked a molar? I’m not sure if that’s badass or completely ridiculous. Either way, the magic number is at 30 with 35 games left to play. So, even if the Brewers win out, all [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Get Bent, Hillbillies” Edition
The Braves are rapidly rising up my list of teams I hate. Seriously? After the headhunting bullshit they’ve been pulling for the last two years Yunel Escobar is going to cry about getting plunked by a guy who throws an 87-m.p.h. fastball? I also noticed those Coca-Cola-loving assholes were awful quick to [...]
Ryan Theriot Proves that Anyone Can Have a Mailbag
I guess my good friend PAUL SULLIVAN must have lost my phone number. He had a perfect opportunity to give his old pal Bad Kermit an opportunity to berate a bunch of dopey Cubs fans, and he wasted it on Ryan Theriot (be sure to check out the post-Mailbag comments; brilliant!). Fortunately, the [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Time to Mercy-Kill the DeadBirds” Edition
I hate the Cardinals. I loathe the Cardinals. I abhor the Cardinals. I would rather wash Sarah Jessica Parker’s feet than manage the Cardinals. I would rather lick a Wrigley trough. But instead, we’ll just knock them out of the race this weekend, and I’ll just do the Roundup today.
Sori-Uh-Oh Heads the Muskbag
Carrie must be backed up on her e-mail. She’s hitting us with some rapid-fire stupidity. Her latest entry is this week’s Muskbag. It’s chock full of awesome. And stupid.
Get Bent, Rednecks
I don’t know or care exactly why this beanball shit with Atlanta started last year, but I do know this. You suck, Braves. Your fans suck. Your state sucks. Your sister/aunt/mother sucks. Coke sucks. Your state dentist sucks. The fact that you had Maddux for all of his [...]
