I’m Thankful for the Muskbag
EDIT: It’s come to my attention from my good friend PAUL SULLIVAN (through Dolan) that Carrie Muskat’s father recently passed away. I know I have my fun at Carrie’s expense on a weekly basis, but mine and I hope your thoughts and prayers are with the Muskat family in their time of grief.
Oh, [...]
Muskbag: The Cubs Get “Fixed”
There’s nothing quite like armchair G.M.s to get you fired up for the Winter Meetings. In this week’s Muskbag, a bunch of Cubs fans and Carrie Muskat play G.M. and do what they can to ruin the Cubs. As an added bonus, a commenter LOSES HIS MIND.
Muskbag: The “Oh, God, They’re Allowing Comments Now” Edition
I have some good news and the greatest news ever. The bad news is that the Muskbag was surprisingly not that dumb this week. It was boring and inane, as usual, but not as obtuse as normal. Ready for the greatest news ever? The Muskbag now allows comments. COMMENTS! [...]
How to Break a 97-Win Team
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. [...]
Bedard Clogs the Bases
Is Erik Bedard the reason the Cubs still haven’t been able to trade for Brian Roberts? Possibly. Never fear, though, as it looks like Bedard to Seattle is close to happening. IF the Orioles were demanding Rich Hill plus a bunch of prospects in exchange for Bedard, it probably would have been [...]
Yo, Jim! I Got Your “Two Significant Moves” Right Here!
[Gestures toward balls]
Nah, I’m just messing with you, Jim. Lou has balls enough for the whole team. Really, though, I’m going to freak you out with this one. Forget Erik Bedard. Forget him. I figured out how you can end your offseason as the top team in the National League [...]
HJE’s First Scoop?
I can’t tell you who, and I can’t tell you what, and I’m not really sure on why and how, but a source who asked to remain unnamed has suggested that the Brian Roberts hostage crisis has been delayed due to the inclusion of one Felix Pie and one Erik Bedard in the trade conversations [...]
Friday Night Fukudome: Brian Roberts vs. Chone Figgins
Someone on Desipio pointed out that, while Brian Roberts would be an excellent addition to the Cubs, so would the Anaheim Angels’ Chone Figgins. While Roberts put up a .290/.377/.432 line last year exclusively as a second baseman while swiping 50 bases, Figgins was hitting .330/.393/.432 and stealing 41 as a third baseman, right [...]
