Let’s Talk About How Much We Hate Steve Stone
When I was growing up watching Cubs games with Harry Caray and Steve Stone in the booth, I’m ashamed to admit that I honestly thought Stone was a baseball genius. It blew my mind that Stone could prognosticate which pitch would be thrown in a certain situation or whether or not a batter would try [...]
Friday Night Fukudome: Guillen vs. Pierzynski
With the Crosstown Classic in full crappy swing, there are plenty of hateworthy Sox players in town. Which leads us to our Fukudome. VS. Ozzie Guillen A.J. Pierzynski
The Secret to Success?
Hello Cub fans and friends! It’s been awhile since I took the time to post anything but my comment of the week. Let’s be honest. Following the Cubs the past couple seasons has been as fun as following the Chicago Blackhawks during the 2004-05 season. But I appear today to pay homage to said Blackhawks, [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Your Worst Nightmare” Edition
Okay, sad sacks. Since I know you really only follow this team to complain about us, I have some bad news for you. We might not be as terrible as you think we are. Everyone was saying this stretch of games against the Phillies, Rangers, Dodgers, and Cardinals was going to kill us. We’re 5-3 [...]

They’re mine. I’m running down the hallway to the clubhouse to kick your ass. Your Roundup tips are always read and [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Let’s Blame Chicago” Edition

Turns Out, Ozzie Doesn’t Have an Accent; He Really Doesn’t Understand English
At long last, social networking has paid off. Ozzie Guillen has a Twitter feed. It’s just as enlightening as you could expect it to be with tweets like, “what I saw on the field today was a lot of grass…” But what truly amazed me was that Guillen actually truly doesn’t understand English. I always [...]
Tonight Is Must-Watch Baseball
I don’t have too much interest in the World Series this year. The Phillies were just in it last year, and it feels like the Yankees are always in it, even when they aren’t. But I will be tuning in to Game Two of the World Series tonight. Long time Yankee nemesis Pedro Martinez is [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Touch Your Helmet Not Once, Not Twice, But Thrice for a Curveball” Edition
Welcome to the merciful final weekend of the season. I can’t honestly recommend watching us finish up the season against a bad Diamondbacks team, so instead I’ll suggest that you pay attention to the only pennant race left. Kermit has made no secret of his unabashed love for the Minnesota Twins. I can hardly blame [...]
