The Muskbox Runs, Fails to Hide, Answers One of Your Questions
Posted On 13 Jul 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox.
Carrie, you clever little vixen. You took a long break from the Muskbox, only to have it spring up on a Thursday. I bet you thought I'd be too busy posting the Roundup, Skip's Comment of the Week, and the Friday Night Fukudome to fisk it. The Muskbox will never escape my watchful gaze.
Don't you think Wells ... Read More
Do the Cubs Hate Ryan Dempster?
Posted On 23 Jun 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs.
Last week, I was worried that Ryan Dempster was developing Jason Marquis Disease. If you're unfamiliar with JMD, it occurs when you're a starting pitcher who gives up just enough runs for your team to lose. So, if the Cubs score 8, you're busy giving up 9. If they score 1, you just allowed a two-run homer. ... Read More

You panicky little nerds. Do you feel better now that we're only a half game out of first place? Does it bring you joy to see us win four in a row? Are you wetting the roomy crotches of your pants after the bullpen actually managed to string together some outs? Are you ready to climb ... Read More
The Muskbox Gets Clutch
Posted On 13 May 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs, Muskbox.
You can just imagine my jubilation when I read the title to this week's Muskbox. "How Clutch is Theriot?" the Muskbox inquired. "THIS MANY!" Theriot responded, holding up three fingers on his right hand and one finger on his left hand. And that's how this Muskbox was born.
I know Ryan Theriot has had some clutch hits recently, ... Read More
The Muskbox is Still Explaining How It Got Its Name
Posted On 24 Mar 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs, Muskbox, Spring Training.
How long has the Muskbag been back in Muskbox form? A couple of months? Why is this still at the top of every single one?
The mailbag is back, but it's now the Inbox...
Are there people out there so hopelessly confused that they can't find this column?
Some Dipshit's Thoughts:
I think I'll head to my favorite site, Cubs.com, to see ... Read More
