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 all who alerted me to ... Read More

The Muskbox Doesn’t Realize the Rickettses Want to Stack Cheddar
Posted On 03 Nov 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Muskbox.
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.
How much influence does the Ricketts family have on the ... Read More
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Are You Ready for Some Football?” Edition
Posted On 11 Sep 2009 By Sweet Uncle Lou. Under: Cubs, Lou's Friday Roundup.
This is apparently the time of year when most of your favorite Cubs blogs have abandoned talking about baseball for talking about football, and I can hardly blame them. But HJE is going to keep covering baseball, dammit. Look, after this week's sweep of the Pirates, we're only- Let's see- STILL ELEVEN AND A HALF GAMES ... Read More
You’re Out of It, Cubs. Don’t Be Stupid.

Okay, it's reality-check time. Even if the Cardinals go one game under .500 for the rest of the way, they'll finish 88-74. For the Cubs to reach 88 wins, they'll have to go 28-17, a .622 winning percentage. Unlikely, since they're playing .513 baseball this year and are in danger of getting swept by a terrible 51-70 ...

From our good friend PAUL SULLIVAN, "Cubs call up Jake Fox and two others, send down Bobby Scales and Neal Cotts, put Aaron Miles on DL." Thanks to Waco Kid for noticing it.
That's right. Neal Cotts AND Aaron Miles are not going to be in uniform for tonight's game. Sadly (but not REALLY sadly), neither will Bobby ... Read More
Are the Cubs Totally Screwed?
Posted On 11 May 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs.
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 worse than losing Carlos Zambrano. ... Read More
The Muskbox is Shorter than Ryan Theriot
Posted On 17 Mar 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox, Spring Training.
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.
I haven't been able to follow the Cubs' spring as much as I'd like to, being on the East Coast, but what are Koyie Hill's chances ... Read More
