As you know, I love being right at the absolute forefront of all your base are belong to us internet memes, so when I saw that Google mining became popular about six months ago, I jumped right on that trend! Some of the things you can learn about people from their Google habits should [...]

The Muskbox Blows Us Off at Kitty O’Shea’s

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

9 Comments

I was a little worried about Carrie after last week’s Muskbox. After all her talk about Milton Bradley, I assumed he had come to life and captured her, especially when we didn’t see her at Kitty O’Shea’s Friday night. But, sure enough, the Muskbox is too dumb to even realize it is mortal.

The Muskbox Discusses Our Two Favorite Carloses: Zambrano and Silva

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

We left the Muskbox in 2009 plantnapping and murdering ivy, and eating a Podsednik sandwich at Edmonds’ restaurant. This week, we discuss today’s starting lineup, try to trade Carlos Zambrano, and ask a payroll question that barely qualifies as a question. Into the Muskboxing ring we go!

Somehow, The Muskbox Gets Worse

We live in an unstable world. Each day, we walk out our front doors not knowing what the day has in store for us. Will our car die on the way to work? We will make it to work without avoiding an accident? If we make it to work safely, will [...]

The Muskbox Gets Its Own Mascot

In this week’s Muskbox, we learn that Cubs fans still don’t understand how trades work, someone actually likes Aaron Heilman, and there is a person outside the Harry Potter universe named “Mordy.”

I’m going to guess that this is going to incense some of you. Others are going to read it, pull a Bob Sugar, and say, “Finally, someone said it!” Some of you will question my baseball acumen. Others will say, “Hey, maybe Kermit wears a diaper for a reason other than his [...]

Turns Out it IS Possible to Make Sunday Night Baseball Worse

Just when you thought ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball couldn’t get any worse, it does. ESPN has announced that Jon Miller and Joe Morgan will be joined by FORMER GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW YORK METS, Steve Phillips (thanks to Zach for the link). It has long baffled me that ESPN plays up Phillips’ [...]

Carrie Christmas to All!

And to all a new Muskbag. It’s tough coming up with content during the offseason, particularly when the only thing to talk about in regards to the Hot Stove is whether it would be cheaper to sign Mark Teixeira or build your own Mark Teixeira cyborg. If you try, make sure you don’t [...]

Essian Passed Over Again

Thursday, December 18, 2008

6 Comments

The idiot Cubs front office once again had a coaching opening, and once again didn’t even bother to INTERVIEW Jim Essian for the job. Instead, the Cubs promoted Ryne Sandberg from the Class A affiliate, the Peoria Chiefs, to the AA affiliate, the Tennessee Smokies. Some guy named Marty Pevey is now the [...]

How to Break a 97-Win Team

The only time I read Bleed Cubbie Blue is when someone on Desipio links it. For someone on Desipio to link it, the writing must be worse than normal. So when I saw a link to the hilariously stupid “Building A Cubs Champion: Introducing Your 2009 Chicago Cubs” I had to click it. [...]
