3-0? PFFFFFFTTTTT.
So, Mike Quade is off to a pretty good start as interim manager. He’s won three games in a row and swept the mighty Nationals. Wow! I’m sooooooo impressed. What were the Nationals? 53-71 going into Monday night’s game? And they had to face whom? Livan Hernandez? Hell, that guy was practically around when I [...]
Sweet Uncle Lou Rounds Up
In a move which will almost certainly pave the way for the Ryne Sandberg Era, Lou Piniella announced today that he will retire after this season. Selfishly, I am less devastated about losing one of the most-successful managers in Cub history than I am about the death of Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup. DAMN YOU, [...]
Millar Hired as Roving Hitting Instructor, Seltzer Squirter
Just when you think the Cubs have wised up and are going to start making good decisions, such as the one to release Kevin Millar and keep Chad Tracy, they do something stupid. For example, hire Millar to be their roving minor league hitting coach.
A Double Shot of Muskbox
I didn’t get around to the Muskbox last week because of the emotional and mental toll from ripping Milton Bradley. I could- nay, should allow myself a break from the Muskbox madness. But that wouldn’t be fair to you. Instead, you get a double shot of Muskbox with a chaser of failure. And I die [...]
Google Mining the Cubs
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 not [...]
The Muskbox Blows Us Off at Kitty O’Shea’s
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
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 our job still be [...]
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.”
Saving Grace
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 stupidity.” But I [...]
