A Bunch of Bad Players Have Invaded the Muskbag

This week’s Muskbag somehow manages to revisit Rich Hill. No one revisits Rich Hill. Rich Hill isn’t even going to have visitors at his house for Thanksgiving. But the Muskbag has all the Rich Hill coverage you could possibly want.


Magic Number Countdown: 11

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 [...]


Oh, By the Way

125 days in first place, and then this happens. It couldn’t have happened to a classier team. Good luck with the Indians this weekend, Ozzhole!


Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Is the Regular Season Already Over?” Edition

First of all, thanks to TJ Brown for the picture. Secondly, holy crap. Is it really the end of September? It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating the birth of our country by firing explosives into the air and stuffing Lee Greenwood into a dumpster. Whaddya mean, “That WAS just [...]


Da Mare is Da-Umb

Ah, Richard Daley. Your unabashed Sox fandom is sometimes cute, when it’s not horribly annoying. Your unabashed love of the Eighteenth Amendment came as a bit of a surprise, though.

Someday We’ll Go All the Way

You know, if J-Kerm ever decides to leave me, I suspect it’s going to be for Eddie Vedder. She called me today, excited to the point of being–dare I say–breathless. I had heard Eddie Vedder’s “Someday We’ll Go All the Way” a while ago, but completely forgot to post about it. Well, [...]


Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Everything Blows!” Edition

Not a lot of time for a Roundup this week, what with us avoiding hurricanes and gun-toting Texans. Thanks to someone whose real name I’m not sure I can use, but who I think is Poon for the picture. Anyhow, here’s your Roundup:


Muskbaggery

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


Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “But It’s Only Wednesday” Edition

Kermit is going out of town tonight and staying out of town until Monday, so the whole HJE gang is allowed take a breather if they want to. I can’t speak for Mike D., but I’m going to take advantage of it. But I wouldn’t dare leave you idiots without anything to read [...]


How I Spent My Summer Baseball Season

I was talking with Pre the other day, and Pre made the astute observation (thank you, Pre) that Alfonso Soriano’s recent “Player Perspectives” essay was clearly a punishment handed to him by Lou Piniella for not running out a recent deep fly ball. It’s clear that Soriano had help on the essay. Fortunately, [...]
