Did anyone catch the pregame show before World Series Game 5 last night? Jorge Posada was being interviewed, and he said, “It’s been since 2000 since we won the World Series, so I think the fans have waited long enough.” Fuck you. With that, here’s this week’s Muskbox.

At the Mathematical Elimination Party this Saturday, one of my friends told me she was rooting for the Cardinals to win the World Series. “Why the hell would you do that?” I asked. “Because you have to root for the NL Central when your team gets eliminated,” she replied. “Why the hell [...]

After a loooooong hiatus, the Muskbox has finally returned to half-answer all of your dumbest questions about the Cubs! The Muskbox is one of the few things that keeps me going during the offseason, so here’s hoping that this is the first in a streak of many successful and hilarious fall and winter Muskboxes.

No, not really. It’s just our old pal David Kaplan at it again! Russ Kelly pointed out Kaplan’s latest Cubs fix entitled, “The Cubs Need to Sign the #1 Free Agent This Winter.” Hey, give Kaplan some credit for the headline. There isn’t a single exclamation point in the entire thing. [...]

Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. I’m going to staaaaaaaab this team in the eyyyyyyyyyeballs. And I smell like one, too. If I had one birthday wish, it would be that I would wake up tomorrow morning and realize this whole “managing the Cubs” thing was just a nightmare [...]

Okay, it’s reality-check time. Even if the Cardinals go one game under .500 for the rest of the way, they’ll finish 88-74. For the Cubs to reach 88 wins, they’ll have to go 28-17, a .622 winning percentage. Unlikely, since they’re playing .513 baseball this year and are in danger of getting [...]

Except for the fact that no one on the team got their foot caught in a bear trap, last night’s game was pretty close to the perfect summary of the 2009 season so far, wasn’t it? Not only was Rich Harden was perfect until the sixth inning, but he had looked brilliant in striking [...]

Okay, so Lou is out of town and didn’t get a chance to do the Roundup this week. I apologize. I have some good tips from all of you, and Lou will use them if not sometime this weekend, then for next week’s Roundup. I apologize if you were productive today. [...]
