It's hard to imagine that Neifi Neftali Perez was a bigger liability to the Cubs when off their roster than when on it. When last we left Neifi over four years ago, he was being honored as the second-worst Cub of my time. Now here we sit, eagerly awaiting his official retirement from baseball so that his Hall of Fame eligibility clock can begin its insistent ticking. Surely, a man with a career .297 OBP will not get a call from the Hall of Fame. He would, however, if the BBWAA considered only Neifi's statistics against the Cubs. His career pursuit of those numbers caused Neifi to scrap his way all the way up to #18 of the Top 79 Cub Killers of My Time.

Deciphering a Yahoo Comment: Or, “How I Wasted My Entire Afternoon”
Posted On 06 Jan 2011 By Bad Kermit. Under: Around the MLB, Cubs, Transactions.
This afternoon Pre brought to my attention a little bit of oddness from Yahoo. In a post regarding the potential of a Matt Garza trade to the Cubs, "Louis" had some unkind words for Jim Hendry.
I have said it before and I will say it again... Until Jim Hendry is fired and a real gm is hired the cubs ... Read More
NOW Can Tommy Boy Finally Evaluate Jim Hendry?
Posted On 12 Jul 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs.
If there's one sports radio refrain that annoys me, it's, "Tom Ricketts is being SO SMART AND CAREFUL about his evaluation of Jim Hendry." Bullshit. The Cubs are now halfway through their first season under Ricketts' ownership. They're 39-50, with the third-highest payroll in all of Major League Baseball. The only two more expensive teams are ...

Rejected Cubs Giveaways
Posted On 17 Jun 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs.
I thought the Cubs had officially given up on non-ridiculous promotional giveaways when they gave out Mia Hamm jerseys or bobbleheads or ovaries, or whatever they gave out when Nomar Garciaparra was a Cub. But if you have the pleasure of going to today's game against the Oakland A's, you might be the recipient of this brilliant bobblehead doll ... Read More
The Muskbox Is a Moving Target
Posted On 29 Mar 2010 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Muskbox.
Carrie is getting wilier as the eternal struggle between HJE and the Inbox rages on. Her latest ploy was to move the Muskbox to Thursday night. The only explanation that can possibly be is that she knows that Sweet Uncle Lou owns Friday's at HJE. But fear not. For every one of Carrie's thrusts, I have ... Read More
Some Final Thoughts Before We Never Speak of Milton Bradley Again
Posted On 23 Sep 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Transactions.
The further removed we get from the Milton Bradley suspension, the angrier I get at both sides. Milton Bradley is a raging asshole who brought all of his made-up woe upon himself. But Jim Hendry's reaction to Bradley's latest antics is infuriating as well. But if Tom Ricketts knows what he's doing, the Bradley suspension should be ... Read More
