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 [...]
Who Wants to Win the NL Central?
Seriously? Is this how it’s going to be in September? I was in the midst of a party to appease J-Kerm on Saturday. When I turned off the Cubs game, they had a very comfortable 9-1 lead. Ned Ryerson on Sunday told me that the final of the game was 14-9. [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “But It’s Only Wednesday” Edition
Kermit is going out of town tonight and staying out of town until Monday, so the whole HJE gang is allowed take a breather if they want to. I can’t speak for Mike D., but I’m going to take advantage of it. But I wouldn’t dare leave you idiots without anything to read [...]
A Very Special, Completely Lucid Muskbag!
Nah, just kidding. It’s dumb again. That’s 1,023 horrible questions in a row, if you’re keeping track. Of course, if you are, you’re dumber than a Muskbag. I only do it because it’s my job. My free job.
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “We’re Good, and That’s the Tooth” Edition
So, Carlos Zambrano went out and beat the Reds even after chewing his gum so hard that he cracked a molar? I’m not sure if that’s badass or completely ridiculous. Either way, the magic number is at 30 with 35 games left to play. So, even if the Brewers win out, all [...]
Ned Yost Should Be Indicted
With Dusty Baker in town with his old familiar dumbassery and excuse-making in tow, it’s easy to think he is the stupidest manager in the National League Central, and he very well may be. But Ned Yost is sure making it interesting, isn’t he? Yost’s handling of CC Sabathia in Sabathia’s nine starts [...]
Those Brewers Fans Really Know How to Celebrate
There’s nothing like a little successful baseball to bring out the money-grubbing douchebags. Why bother inventing something original when you can throw together a stupid catchphrase having to do with your favorite team (vaguely enough so they can’t sue the hell out of you), slap it on a sign, and sell it to a [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Get Bent, Hillbillies” Edition
The Braves are rapidly rising up my list of teams I hate. Seriously? After the headhunting bullshit they’ve been pulling for the last two years Yunel Escobar is going to cry about getting plunked by a guy who throws an 87-m.p.h. fastball? I also noticed those Coca-Cola-loving assholes were awful quick to [...]
Did You Guys Get TWO Past the Goalie in This Week’s Muskbag?
This may have already been discussed in the Shoutbox while I was recovering from the rooftop game, but I’m pretty sure not one, but two Sons of Jim Essian got questions into this week’s Muskbag. Meaning it’s the greatest Muskbag ever. Shall we?
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Time to Mercy-Kill the DeadBirds” Edition
I hate the Cardinals. I loathe the Cardinals. I abhor the Cardinals. I would rather wash Sarah Jessica Parker’s feet than manage the Cardinals. I would rather lick a Wrigley trough. But instead, we’ll just knock them out of the race this weekend, and I’ll just do the Roundup today.
