Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “Guzman is Injured and Theriot Isn’t? Great.” Edition

Friday, February 26, 2010

1 Comment

Well, you can tell it’s almost spring. Guzman is already hurt, I’ve already mistaken Theriot for the batboy, and Dempster and Millar are already annoying the shit out of me. I guess it’s nice to be back, but if they change this clown suits we have to wear in the spring one more [...]

Congratulations to Tom Ricketts for finally getting control of the Cubs.

The further removed we get from the Milton Bradley suspension, the angrier I get at both sides. Milton Bradley is a raging asshole who brought all of his made-up woe upon himself.

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.

Did people seriously miss the Muskbag so much that it’s back? And did they really think they’d fool us by changing the name from “Mailbag” to “Inbox”? All it takes is a simple name change, Carrie. Your old Muskbag is now the Muskbox. And that is worse. So, here we [...]

Thanks to everyone who has pointed out that the Muskbag is back. I promise I’ll get to work on it as soon as possible. In the meantime, we haven’t officially welcomed Tom Ricketts into the Cub family by putting him into embarrassing situations via Photoshop. When posting your work, the “img src” [...]
