The early-2000s Milwaukee Brewers teams were absolutely terrible. From 2000-2003, the Brewers went 265-383, with a 106-loss season thrown into the mix. That is an abysmal .409 winning percentage. If you're a Cubs fan, and that surprises you, it's because the Brewers managed to go 32-31 against the Chicago Cubs during that same time period. In fact, the only team against whom the Brewers performed better was the Cincinnati Reds, against whom they went 34-32. The Brewers dominated Wrigley Field, winning 18 of 33 games on the road. They were the team version of a Cub killer in the early 2000s. Much of that anomalous record against the Cubs could be attributed to one man. One enormous, spindly, hideous tree of a man. The 12th-biggest Cub Killer of My Time. Richie Sexson.

Where were you on June 17, 2011? Did you know it was a historic date? Not only did the Cubs manage to defeat the mighty New York Yankees at Wrigley Field, but somehow DOUG DAVIS managed to defeat the New York Yankees at Wrigley Field. Oh, also, it was the first time in the history of Major ... Read More
The Top 79 Cub Killers of My Time #31: Wily “Or Won’t He” Mo Pena
Posted On 08 Aug 2011 By Bad Kermit. Under: NL Central, The Top 79.
Way back in 2002, the Cincinnati Reds revealed a slugger who was supposed to be Sosa- McGwire- and Bonds-esque in his ability to hit home runs. Despite his inability to draw walks, catch and throw a baseball, or either spell or pronounce the name "Willy," Wily Mo Pena was going to team up with Austin Kearns and Adam Dunn ... Read More
Good Night, Sweet Prince

Add Seattle to the ever-growing list of cities that can't stand having Milton Bradley living there. In honor of the utter waste of oxygen that is Milton Bradley, here are a bunch of pictures of him acting like a total asshole.
Enjoy!

Thank you to everyone who let me know that CRIMINALLY MISUNDERSTOOD Milton Bradley was arrested for criminally misspeaking to a woman. It was probably that racist bitch of a kindergarten teacher his son had in Chicago.
Here is California Penal Code Section 422 concerning "criminal threats":
422. Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which will result in death ... Read More
Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Games Don’t Take Long ENOUGH” Edition
Posted On 16 Apr 2010 By Sweet Uncle Lou. Under: Lou's Friday Roundup.
Everyone's crying about the length of games, from Joe West to Bud Selig. Not me. I wish the MLB had longer commercial breaks and mound visits. That way, I wouldn't have to come running out to argue a call in mid-piss. Oh, well. I got a lot of great tips this week. Keep them ... Read More

Ed. Note: When I'm long gone from this world and tales are told of what I did to make a difference in this life, no one will have an answer that doesn't, at some point, use the phrase "dick joke." Whether I leave a legacy in the expanding world of penis jokes or not, though, I certainly don't ... Read More
The Only Reasons to Trade Milton Bradley, and Why They’re All Stupid
Posted On 21 Dec 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Cubs.
Did you spend your weekend the same way I did? Sitting in an empty white room, bouncing a tennis ball against a wall and thinking about the Milton Bradley-Carlos Silva trade? No? You went to an ugly Christmas sweater party? Oh. Why the hell are THOSE suddenly popular, by the way? Anyhow, I've come ... Read More

Still fuming over the Milton Bradley-for-Carlos Silva trade? Me TOO! I'm going to throw back a few beers and try to forget that today ever happened. But first, let's toss my two least-favorite people in the world into the HATEUDOME- er, Fukudome!

Skip’s Comment of the Week: December 18, 2009
Posted On 18 Dec 2009 By Skip. Under: Cubs, Skip's Comment of the Week.
Hello, gang! There were a lot of good comments this week, but today's news that Milton Bradley was traded to the Mariners for terrible pitcher Carlos Silva led to a bushel of good nuggets that trumped them all.
My favorite one of them all came from paintersix, who had this to say:
I think Ricketts is a dumbass as well. I ... Read More
