The Muskbox Unravels the Mystery of Gary Pressy’s Organ
You’re so predictable, Cubs fans. More predictable than the Cubs losing the first two games of every single series. More predictable than Randy Wells getting lit up in the first inning. More predictable than Ryan Theriot swinging at a first pitch. The five people who are still watching Cub baseball all wrote in to the [...]
Let’s Talk About How Much We Hate Steve Stone
When I was growing up watching Cubs games with Harry Caray and Steve Stone in the booth, I’m ashamed to admit that I honestly thought Stone was a baseball genius. It blew my mind that Stone could prognosticate which pitch would be thrown in a certain situation or whether or not a batter would try [...]
Is Anyone Still Watching?
I think I’m having a Cub mid-life crisis. I had no idea who the Cubs were playing last night until I logged on to MLB At-Bat to watch highlights from Stephen Strasburg’s debut. I wasn’t surprised to learn that the Cubs had suffered another one-run loss to another terrible team. I can’t remember the last [...]
Someone in the Muskbox is Inexplicably Mad that Castro has a 133 OPS+
Folks, we have reached a new low, even by Muskbox standards. Someone actually took the time to write in and complain about Starlin Castro. Starlin is currently sporting an excellent .328/.386/.469 line. As Dolan recently pointed out, he has reached base at least once in every single game he’s played. All seventeen of them. He [...]
The Muskbox Makes it Too Easy
I kid you not. The new Muskbox image was barely altered. Yes, there was a giant amount of white space where the HJE logo now sits. I like to imagine when Carrie saw it, she let out an exasperated sigh. Anyhow, I love it, I have adopted it, and I am embracing it. I completely [...]
The Muskbox Somehow Makes Tax Day Worse
It’s Tax Day, and I’m having a shitty one. What better time to turn my glower to this week’s Muskbox? None. None better time. Get your Tyler Colvin boners out, because they’re about to get a rubdown.
The Muskbox Is a Moving Target
Carrie is getting wilier as the eternal struggle between HJE and the Inbox rages on. Her latest ploy was to move the Muskbox to Thursday night. The only explanation that can possibly be is that she knows that Sweet Uncle Lou owns Friday’s at HJE. But fear not. For every one of Carrie’s thrusts, I [...]
Skip’s Comment of the Week: March 19, 2010
Another week, another twelve comments, and a new champion rises to the top of the heap! This week’s Comment of the Week came, as so many do, from the Muskbox. Waco Kid had this to say about Tyler Colvin: I’m just glad that Colvin decided to add the 25 lbs of “good” muscle instead of [...]
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 [...]
The Muskbox Has No Idea When to Fuld ‘Em
Has any player ever gotten more mileage out of a single catch than Sam Fuld has? I’ve heard Cubs fans speak less respectfully of Wilie Mays’ catch. Sam Fuld strives to be David Eckstein, only in a less-useful position. However, since Jim Hendry decided to spend $34M on an outfield of platoon players, each week [...]
