After four years, six months, and 26 days, we have finally arrived at the top ten. This final stretch is going to be equal parts fun and nightmarish. And we start with Jon Miller's dream player: a Latino man who likes to have his name pronounce incorrectly. A man who has one of the shortest professional careers of any player on the T79. A man whose name I would suspect is more well-known by Cubs fans than by Mets fans, even though he played for the latter. A man whom I once drunkenly asked if he wanted a hot dog when he was playing right field on a cold May afternoon at Wrigley Field. Victor Diaz, the tenth-biggest Cub Killer of My Time.

I mean, he's Preston. PRESTON. You know? Preston. Press-TONE! And he's the 29th biggest Cub ... Read More
If You Don’t Believe in the Muskbox Hard Enough, It Will Die
Posted On 26 Aug 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
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.
