Intelligent Moves BAFFLE the Muskbox Readers

Posted On 10 Jan 2012 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Muskbox.
Intelligent Moves BAFFLE the Muskbox Readers After a week of mediocrity in the Muskbox, the dummies are back out in full force. As I have long feared, Muskbox Nation still has no idea that Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer are trying to build a franchise capable of long-term, sustained success. The Muskboxers want to WIN NOW, and will accept nothing less than a first-place finish in the National League Central. Theo might want to avoid the Cub Convention this weekend entirely if he doesn't want to have to answer questions like, "HOW COME ANGEL GUZMAN ISN'T INVOLVED IN THE LONG-TERM PLANS?"

The Elusive Muskbox Emerges from Its Two-Month Hibernation

Posted On 14 Jul 2011 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Muskbox.
The Elusive Muskbox Emerges from Its Two-Month Hibernation The Muskbox hasn't made an appearances since May 23. That's a long time for a lot of stupid questions to go unanswered. But this will be an interesting experiment. Will two months be enough time to fill a Muskbox with a handful of actual, good questions? Assuming the Muskbox receives only one query a day, at ... Read More

The Muskbox FINALLY Addresses All of Your Burning Questions About…Scott Moore

Posted On 21 Dec 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
The Muskbox FINALLY Addresses All of Your Burning Questions About…Scott Moore Of all the obscure former Cubs who were once traded for Kyle Farnsworth and Steve Trachsel, and who you didn't even realize were reacquired by the Cubs, Scott Moore is that specific one. And he's actually the subject of a question in this week's Muskbox. Scott. Moore. I'm stunned the Cubs would spend $10 million on Pena and ... Read More

Uncle Mike’s Friday BROWSing: The “Please Stop Using Ry-NO Jokes” Edition

Posted On 05 Nov 2010 By Uncle Mike. Under: Mike's Friday BROWSing.
Uncle Mike’s Friday BROWSing: The “Please Stop Using Ry-NO Jokes” Edition It is with unbearable sadness that I inform you that Ryne Sandberg will not be in a Cub uniform next year. Let's take a moment of si- All right, Roundup time. The assistance of your tips is like a brilliant bench coach who offers the insight that Ryno may or may not have. Angel Guzman is gone! ... Read More

The Muskbox DEMANDS Recognition for Castro

Posted On 13 Sep 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Ex-Cubs, Muskbox.
The Muskbox DEMANDS Recognition for Castro The Muskbox must be in late-season crunch mode. It appears that all of your stupid questions will be answered in the order in which they are received. If you would just please form an orderly line behind the man in the mask, Carrie will field each question in turn, starting with those in this week's Muskbox. If ... Read More

The Muskbox Returneth to the Relevance It’s Always Enjoyed

Posted On 09 Aug 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
The Muskbox Returneth to the Relevance It’s Always Enjoyed There's no slumpbuster like a Muskbox slumpbuster. Thanks to the idiocy of people who read Cubs.com and the continued nightmare that is the 2010 edition of the Chicago Cubs, the Muskbox continues to shine. In this week's Muskbox, a guy from Valparaiso asks about a player from Valparaiso, an Iowan is sick of watching Darwin Barney play in ... Read More

NOW Can Tommy Boy Finally Evaluate Jim Hendry?

Posted On 12 Jul 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs.
NOW Can Tommy Boy Finally Evaluate Jim Hendry? If there's one sports radio refrain that annoys me, it's, "Tom Ricketts is being SO SMART AND CAREFUL about his evaluation of Jim Hendry." Bullshit. The Cubs are now halfway through their first season under Ricketts' ownership. They're 39-50, with the third-highest payroll in all of Major League Baseball. The only two more expensive teams are ... Read More

A Double Shot of Muskbox

Posted On 15 Mar 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
A Double Shot of Muskbox I didn't get around to the Muskbox last week because of the emotional and mental toll from ripping Milton Bradley. I could- nay, should allow myself a break from the Muskbox madness. But that wouldn't be fair to you. Instead, you get a double shot of Muskbox with a chaser of failure. And I die on ... Read More

The Muskbox Has No Idea When to Fuld ‘Em

Posted On 02 Mar 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
The Muskbox Has No Idea When to Fuld ‘Em Has any player ever gotten more mileage out of a single catch than Sam Fuld has? I've heard Cubs fans speak less respectfully of Wilie Mays' catch. Sam Fuld strives to be David Eckstein, only in a less-useful position. However, since Jim Hendry decided to spend $34M on an outfield of platoon players, each week we have ... Read More

The Muskbox Makes Bedfellows of Pitchers and Hitting Coaches

Posted On 24 Feb 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
The Muskbox Makes Bedfellows of Pitchers and Hitting Coaches I apologize for the tardiness of the Muskbox. I was under the weather yesterday and reading this week's Muskbox could have only made matters worse. Why? Well, because it spends a significant amount of time fretting about the hurt feelings of Ryan Theriot. And that's- That's- Excuse me. /runs to bathroom With Ryan Theriot having gone ... Read More
