I didn’t get around to the Muskbox last week because of the emotional and mental toll from ripping Milton Bradley. I could- nay, should allow myself a break from the Muskbox madness. But that wouldn’t be fair to you. Instead, you get a double shot of Muskbox with a chaser of failure. [...]
This week’s Muskbox has done something so amazingly meta, that it’s hard to believe it’s not on purpose. It’s a Muskbox about a blog. Now, are you ready for this? Here’s where it gets even funkier. You’re about to read another blog mock the Muskbox about being about a blog. [...]
This week’s Muskbox accomplishes a nearly impossible feat. It’s unprecedented. An entire Muskbox passes without a single relevant question about an actual starting player on the Major League baseball club. How is that possible? Only the Muskbox knows for sure.
In this week’s Muskbox, we speculate on Jeff Samardzija’s sexual perversions, we give Reed Johnson the Mark DeRosa treatment, we torment Ed Hartig, and we RUIN WRIGLEY FIELD!
Oh, Cubs. You’re so collectively dumb. The pervasive organizational stupidity of this franchise is more consistent than Mariano Rivera. As you’ve probably already heard, Ted Lilly had arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder, and will miss the beginning of the season. In Cubs speak, that means he’ll be back just before Jeff [...]
You can’t make up the explanation for the return of the Muskbox.
More than a few Cubs fans in Southern California said they missed the Inbox, and so did several e-mailers, so it’s back.
Well, thanks a LOT, California. You already gave us USC, horrible earthquakes, The Hills, and a cyborg governor who took the first [...]
Okay, it’s reality-check time. Even if the Cardinals go one game under .500 for the rest of the way, they’ll finish 88-74. For the Cubs to reach 88 wins, they’ll have to go 28-17, a .622 winning percentage. Unlikely, since they’re playing .513 baseball this year and are in danger of getting [...]
Are we having fun yet? Look, I know there’s time left, but those of you still shouting at those of us who are giving up on the season (if I’m not giving up, why would I ever start Samardzija?) should probably shut up now. The argument earlier in the year was that this [...]
Well, that was awful nice of Lou Piniella to apologize to Shane Victorino. Poor Shane was the victim of a drunken idiot in the bleachers who decided to douse him with a nearly full cup of beer. Incidentally, I apologize to Section 242 and flannj. So help me God, I thought Victorino [...]
In what has become an annual tradition around the trade deadline, the Cubs have apparently once again dipped into their AAA team in Pittsburgh, calling up John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny. (HT: TDubbs) Eh. They’re both bullpen lefties, an area in which the Cubs are lacking once Sean Marshall gets used. [...]
