Weis, Caray Fired; Carrie Survives Another Day

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Yesterday was a glorious day if you’re a Cubs fan, a Notre Dame fan, and a fan of Chip Caray getting leprosy. I am all three of those. Charlie Weis’ removal as the head football coach at Notre Dame was expected, but Chip Caray’s dismissal from TBS was a pleasant surprise (thanks to [...]

Did anyone catch the pregame show before World Series Game 5 last night? Jorge Posada was being interviewed, and he said, “It’s been since 2000 since we won the World Series, so I think the fans have waited long enough.” Fuck you. With that, here’s this week’s Muskbox.

Did you almost turn off the TV Friday night when Aramis Ramirez went down? Did you curse, in the following order: (1) God, (2) Jim Hendry, and (3) Barry Rozner? I spent most of Saturday thinking about how screwed the Cubs are. Losing Aramis for any significant period of time is way [...]

The Muskbox is Shorter than Ryan Theriot

For some reason, the Muskbox is mercifully short this week. Maybe Care Bear had something better to do. Like train her flying monkeys to attack that bitch from Kansas. Away we go.
