This afternoon Pre brought to my attention a little bit of oddness from Yahoo. In a post regarding the potential of a Matt Garza trade to the Cubs, "Louis" had some unkind words for Jim Hendry.
I have said it before and I will say it again... Until Jim Hendry is fired and a real gm is hired the cubs ... Read More

This Is Howry Do It
Posted On 19 May 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Transactions.
Apparently, the Cubs have agreed to terms with Bob Howry. Unless the terms are, "We will give you $100 if you never pitch for us ever again," this is just another stupid move to throw on the ever-growing pile. Presumably, the plan is to stretch him out so he can join the rotation instead of Carlos Zambrano. ... Read More
You’re Out of It, Cubs. Don’t Be Stupid.
Posted On 19 Aug 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, NL Central, Transactions.
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 ...

It’s the Goocher!
Posted On 22 Apr 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Recaps.
I've been at some strange Cubs games in my life. I was at the game in 2000 against the Dodgers when some enterprising Cubs fan nearly incited a riot by swiping the hat off the head of Chad Kreuter while Kreuter was seated in the Dodger bullpen. I was at the game against the Rockies in 2001 when ... Read More
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Making up for Lost Time” Edition
Posted On 05 Dec 2008 By Sweet Uncle Lou. Under: Cubs, Lou's Friday Roundup.
Since there was no Roundup last week due to the fact that I was in a turkey coma, I have a lot of catching up to do. Plus, we have the Winter Meetings coming up next week in Las Vegas, so I have to help Hendry pick out a bunch of Hawaiian fat guy shirts. So, here we ... Read More
How to Break a 97-Win Team
Posted On 22 Oct 2008 By Bad Kermit. Under: Blogs You Shouldn't Read, Cubs, Transactions.
The only time I read Bleed Cubbie Blue is when someone on Desipio links it. For someone on Desipio to link it, the writing must be worse than normal. So when I saw a link to the hilariously stupid "Building A Cubs Champion: Introducing Your 2009 Chicago Cubs" I had to click it. I now fully understand ... Read More
Just When I Thought I Was Out, The Muskbag Pulls Me Back In.
Posted On 14 Oct 2008 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs.
You finally get a Godfather quote and it's from Godfather III. How does THAT feel? Anyhow, I saw the Muskbag was back, and I couldn't let that aggression go unchecked.
I noticed that Ryan Dempster is eligible to become a free agent this offseason. Are the Cubs going to re-sign him? Who else is eligible for free agency?

Magic Number Countdown: 11
Posted On 29 Sep 2008 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Postseason.
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 of the 2008 season (in ... Read More
THIS is the Best the National League Has to Offer?
Posted On 25 Sep 2008 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs.
If you didn't think the Cubs were in pretty good shape in the National League playoffs before, you should now. When Lou Piniella uses Kevin Hart and Bob Howry out of his bullpen, it's clear that he couldn't care less whether the Cubs win or lose a game. Yet they still managed to win, putting the Cubs into ...

Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Someday is Today” Edition
Posted On 19 Sep 2008 By Sweet Uncle Lou. Under: Lou's Friday Roundup.
First off, Kermit wanted me to let you know that he has the three most important Cubs songs that you need to know before the postseason starts posted in the sidebar now. I don't even know what a sidebar is. Commie. You guys like how we gave the Brewers a scintilla of hope for a few innings ... Read More
