It’s been a while since I tried my hand at live blogging, but I’m in the mood for it tonight. Since this is HJE I’m not going to live blog the Cubs-Reds game tonight. That would be far too easy. No, as the guys at TMS mentioned before they got into a [...]

The Cubs are in Cincinnati to take on Dusty Baker’s Reds, which always reminds me how glad I am that they are not “Dusty Baker’s Cubs.” The two managers prior to Lou Piniella were back-to-back dumbasses. So, let’s put them in the Fukudome. VS. Dusty Baker Don Baylor

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 [...]

Last week, the Muskbox came out on Thursday, presumably because Carrie knows that Fridays at HJE are Sweet Uncle Lou’s time to shine. But you can’t hide the Muskbox from me, Carrie. Especially since it’s so stupid, it emits an odor. So, here we go.

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.

So help me God, for my entire childhood I thought Lenny Dykstra had no teeth. The guy’s mouth was blacker than a kid with braces eating Oreos. I did know one thing, though. I knew that every time “Nails” came up against the Cubs, he was going to be a huge pain [...]

On my way home from work tonight, the lovely J-Kerm called me to ask if I wanted to go out to dinner at a local Naperville establishment. J-Kerm, who has a sudden affinity for signing us up for every single e-mail club on the planet, had a coupon for a free entree that expires [...]

Barry Bonds’ trial might feel like old news, because technically he hasn’t been found guilty yet. But it’s only a matter of time, right? I mean, the evidence shows that he’s tested positive for three different types of steroids and that his personal trainer shot him up with them. He said he [...]

Is Steve Rosenbloom the stupidest baseball writer in Chicago? Seriously. Does he even watch baseball games? Because it seems to me that someone who occasionally writes about the Cubs would be somewhat familiar with the former superstar of their division-rival Cincinnati Reds, Adam Dunn. But if he knows anything about Dunn, [...]

Everyone is piling on Jason Marquis and is thrilled that he is no longer in Chicago. As you know, I’ve been hoping that Sean Marshall would win Marquis’ job for the past two seasons. But instead of adding to the pile let’s instead flash back to Sunday, September 16, 2007. You remember [...]
