The Top 79 Cub Killers of My Time #53: Jason Schmidt “Hits the Fan”

Thursday, October 1, 2009

1 Comment

It’s been a while since Jason Schmidt was considered an elite MLB pitcher. It’s also been a while since the last time Schmidt pitched against the Chicago Cubs. Coincidence? Yes. But that doesn’t make Jason Schmidt any less deserving of being named the 53rd biggest Cub Killer of my time.

Some Final Thoughts Before We Never Speak of Milton Bradley Again

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

33 Comments

The further removed we get from the Milton Bradley suspension, the angrier I get at both sides. Milton Bradley is a raging asshole who brought all of his made-up woe upon himself. But Jim Hendry’s reaction to Bradley’s latest antics is infuriating as well. But if Tom Ricketts knows what he’s doing, [...]

The Top 79 Cub Killers of My Time #58: “Charles” Bronson “Has Chunks of Guys Like” Arroyo “In His Stool”

If there’s one thing I hate more than people who are famous just for being famous, it’s already-famous people who try to be doubly famous for things at which they absolutely suck. Like Michael Jordan playing baseball. Or Shaquille O’Neal rapping. Or Russell Crowe acting. Number 58 of the Top 79 [...]

The Top 79 Cub Killers of My Time #59: “Cryin’” Ryan Klesko

Thursday, March 26, 2009

I’m going to be honest here. Ryan Klesko didn’t particularly kill the Cubs any more than he did any other team. He didn’t rise to the occasion against Cub pitching. He didn’t perform well in Wrigley Field. In fact, Klesko was actually worse against the Cubs than his career averages suggest [...]

The Muskbox is Still Explaining How It Got Its Name

How long has the Muskbag been back in Muskbox form? A couple of months? Why is this still at the top of every single one? The mailbag is back, but it’s now the Inbox… Are there people out there so hopelessly confused that they can’t find this column? Some Dipshit’s Thoughts: I think I’ll head to my [...]

This week’s Muskbag is chock full of personal questions, propositions, and SAM FULD. Hurray!

Well, I’m back from my New York/Boston trip, and I’m planning on posting about them when I get around to it. I got back just in time to sink my teeth into this week’s Muskbag. It tastes like what I imagine Daryle Ward’s locker smells like.

Ned Yost Should Be Indicted

With Dusty Baker in town with his old familiar dumbassery and excuse-making in tow, it’s easy to think he is the stupidest manager in the National League Central, and he very well may be. But Ned Yost is sure making it interesting, isn’t he? Yost’s handling of CC Sabathia in Sabathia’s nine starts [...]

Friday Night Fukudome: Yunel Escobar vs. Edgar Renteria

Before you ask, no, I’m not letting this go. Hey, Atlanta. It’s not our fault that your once-dominant team now licks taint. There’s no need to blame the Cubs for the fact that your best position player is 36 years old and your best pitcher is 41. Maybe you should have [...]

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 [...]
