Well, Duh; Soto Wins NL ROY
That was inevitable, wasn’t it? It’s still good to see the voters recognize Geovany Soto’s year, considering how terrific it was. Congratulations to the best Cubs catcher of my lifetime.
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.
Instant Replay Is Fine, But Already Needs Fixing
I know your thoughts have already turned toward tomorrow night’s early evening’s late afternoon’s NLDS showdown between the Dodgers and the Cubs, but please permit me a brief rant about Bud Selig’s idiocy.

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

Milwaukee Season Prognosis: NEGATIVE
It was a good run, Milwaukee, but there’s no need to show up for the rest of your games. You’re not going to recover from scoring only ONE run after loading the bases twice in five innings against Rich Harden. And surrendering four runs in the bottom of the 9th inning when you [...]
The Astros and Their Fans Sound Like Tina Turner
Have you ever heard anyone complain about Ike more than the Astros and their fans are doing this week? Yesterday, Cecil Cooper sat down with his long-time drinking Bud(dy) Selig to voice his “frustration” that the poor, poor Astros had to play two “home” games against the Cubs up at Miller Park. This [...]
Muskbaggery
This week’s Muskbag is chock full of personal questions, propositions, and SAM FULD. Hurray!
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Completely Useless By September” Edition
It’s time for HJE to combat this losing streak and our alleged “slide” with an anti-jinx. We’re calling down the thunder and tempting the fates. Bring it, stupid fates. Forget the doomsayers. Focus on the Roundup:
