If you're a former player for the Chicago Cubs, it's been a rough week for you. Unless you're Ivan DeJesus or Bob Dernier. Or Mike Fontenot and Shawon Dunston. But if you were one of the most powerful offensive players in the history of Cub baseball, you were either unceremoniously dumped, or no one craved the bat ... Read More

The Muskbox Somehow Makes Tax Day Worse

It's Tax Day, and I'm having a shitty one. What better time to turn my glower to this week's Muskbox? None. None better time. Get your Tyler Colvin boners out, because they're about to get a rubdown.
Why did the Cubs sign Marlon Byrd?

I heard that Veal was picked by the Pirates in the Rule 5 Draft. What exactly does that ... Read More
Hooray for Hollywood
Posted On 04 Oct 2008 By T.J.. Under: Cubs, Postseason.
