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.


Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Historic Vote” Edition

I was hoping Bacon and Fries would run on the same ticket. The same delicious ticket. Thanks to Holy Taco for the picture. Anyhow, it’s Roundup time:


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.


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. [...]


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.


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 [...]


Friday Night Fukudome: Hoffpauir vs. Pie vs. Ward

If my calculations are correct, there are going to be two roster slots available for the Cubs’ three left-handed hitting outfielders. Let’s let the Fukudome decide who should go to the NLDS (hint, look how happy Daryle looks, you heartless bastards!). You can select two of the three choices.

Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Someday is Today” Edition

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 [...]


It’s a Terrible Time to Turn on the Large Hadron Collider

If the Cubs decide to follow my clever plan to sweep the Brewers at Wrigley Field this week, they will have wrapped up their second playoff berth in two years. That hasn’t happened since, oh, 1907 and 1908, the only two years in which the Cubs have won the World Series. So, is [...]


The Muskbag Features a Question About ERA! No, It’s Not What You Think.

Well, I’m back from my New York/Boston trip, and I’m planning on posting about them when I get around to it. I got back just in time to sink my teeth into this week’s Muskbag. It tastes like what I imagine Daryle Ward’s locker smells like.
