The Muskbox Makes it Too Easy
I kid you not. The new Muskbox image was barely altered. Yes, there was a giant amount of white space where the HJE logo now sits. I like to imagine when Carrie saw it, she let out an exasperated sigh. Anyhow, I love it, I have adopted it, and I am embracing it. I completely [...]
Pitchers, Catchers, Carlos Silva Report to Camp
Oh, happy day! Today is the first official day of the rest of your 2010 Cubs season. Why are we celebrating that? I don’t know. Will this season be as difficult to watch as last season? Probably. Are our hopes at least down, meaning tickets will be easier to find? Hopefully. If you tied a [...]
Sixty-Seven Percent of This Week’s Muskbox is About Blogging; I SHIT YOU NOT
This week’s Muskbox has done something so amazingly meta, that it’s hard to believe it’s not on purpose. It’s a Muskbox about a blog. Now, are you ready for this? Here’s where it gets even funkier. You’re about to read another blog mock the Muskbox about being about a blog. Take a few deep breaths [...]
New Year’s Resolutions: 2010 Edition
Since “everyone” on the “staff” at HJE has managed to achieve social perfection, “we” decided to (not really) ask for the New Year’s resolutions of your favorite Cubs (including new Cub Marlon Byrd). And your least favorite Cubs. And some other people.
2009 Season in Review: Most Pointless Move
The firing of hitting coach Von Joshua was the latest in a series of pointless moves by Jim Hendry this season. For those of you still interested in discussing the 2009 Cubs, here’s a topic of conversation for you. Are there any pointless moves I missed?
Are the Cubs Totally Screwed?
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 [...]
Just When I Thought I Was Out, The Muskbag Pulls Me Back In.
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.
Muskbaggery
This week’s Muskbag is chock full of personal questions, propositions, and SAM FULD. Hurray!
Did You Guys Get TWO Past the Goalie in This Week’s Muskbag?
This may have already been discussed in the Shoutbox while I was recovering from the rooftop game, but I’m pretty sure not one, but two Sons of Jim Essian got questions into this week’s Muskbag. Meaning it’s the greatest Muskbag ever. Shall we?
Fox Reunites with Old Friend DL; Ascanio Called Up
I have once again forgotten that some of you may expect actual Cubs news on HJE every once in a while. In case you hadn’t heard, the 11 1/3-inning Cub career of Chad Fox is again on the ropes, as he was put on the 15-day disabled list yesterday with a case of being really [...]
