How to report the news
The BBC’s Newswipe with an explanation of how to report the news. It’s pretty much exactly right. The only thing they’re missing is a segment on how to be like Chris Hansen and convince a pederast he can leave the house only to have him tackled by nine angry sheriff’s deputies. Share on Facebook

Cubs 2012? God help us all
Since I was a kid I’ve always looked forward to picking up The Sporting News baseball preview magazine. There’s a lot wrong with it, of course, it’s written way too early in the offseason to catch all of the transactions, their predictions suffer as a result, and well, it’s The Sporting News. But it’s always been–along [...]

Chicago Now 185, Readers 0
When the Tribune Company launched Chicago Now last spring, they did so to great fanfare. People said that it was going to revolutionize how people in Chicago shared ideas and information. Wait, there wasn’t any fanfare. Nobody even cared they were doing it. The only reason we even knew they were launching was because they’d convinced [...]

Guest column: Theriot’s pretty good!
Dear people of the Internet, I’m Andy’s Uncle Marty and after arguing with him on the telephone last night for a good ten minutes about the merits of Cubs shortstop Ryan Theriot, he called me a smart guy and dared me to write down some of my thoughts on the matter, and he said he would [...]

Cubs sign Nady; assign Sheets to AAA Oakland
The Cubs got good news twice today. First, they beat out all the other teams just clamoring to sign two-time Tommy John Disease survivor Xavier Nady to share bunk beds in right field with Kosuke Fukudome. Then, they convinced Billy Beane and the A’s to get Ben Sheets in shape so they can trade for him [...]

Did Bud pick the Cubs spring training home?
Posted on 24 January 2010
A lot of us raised eyebrows (well, not Mike Quade, he doesn’t have any to raise) when as kind of a footnote to the Cubs announcement that they were going to stay in Mesa, Arizona for the next 25 years, we learned that Interim Commissioner of Baseball For Life Bud Selig “encouraged” the Cubs to [...] Continue Reading

Cubs Report: Wait, is this the roster?
Posted on 22 January 2010
In less than a month the Cubs will commune in the desert to prepare for the 2010 season. I’m not sure if you’ve heard but it apparently has been 102 years now since they last won the World Series. Who knew? Somebody should make a big deal out of this. It [...] Continue Reading

Just how dumb do they think we are?
Posted on 12 January 2010
Since it shocked no one, and I got in plenty of cheap shots yesterday, I wasn’t going to write again about Mark McGwire’s half-assed admission that he used steroids during his playing days in Oakland and St. Louis. But given the Ari Fleischer-fueled spin machine (seriously, that’s who he hired) that keeps foisting miserable Tony LaRussa [...] Continue Reading

Wow! What’ll we learn next, that Willie Wilson used coke?
Posted on 11 January 2010
Well here’s stunning news, gigantism survivor and former baseball slugger Mark McGwire has admitted to something everybody in the world already knew he did. Except for Tony LaRussa. In a statement to the Associated Press, McGwire admitted that he used steroids, HGH, Darvon, Vagisil, Ben Gay and in a pinch he’d rub a little jalapeno in [...] Continue Reading

A Byrd in the hand is worth…oh, screw it
Posted on 31 December 2009
Last year, I was driving in my car on New Year’s Eve when I heard that the Cubs had signed Aaron Miles to a two-year contract. This year, I was in the car again, when I heard that the Cubs had signed Marlon Byrd to a three-year contract. Clearly, I need to stop driving. In the end [...] Continue Reading

The Oughts – Killers and Thrillers – 2003
Posted on 29 December 2009
Our look back at the fourth bestest decade in Cubs history continues with the yin, the yang and the up your yingyang of the seasons when the Cubs at least sort of contended. Those would be the 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Cubs. Each season included a win that made you believe that “it” was [...] Continue Reading

Maude loves those cat jugglers
Posted on 27 December 2009
We interrupt our review of the fourth most awesomest decade in Cubs history…because Phil Rogers has done it again. Does the man have a copy editor? Does he own a Google machine? You remember earlier this year when he confused Giants first baseman Pablo Sandoval with former Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. And, you probably remember when he [...] Continue Reading

The Oughts: Remember these bums
Posted on 23 December 2009
Now that we’ve figured out who had the best seasons at each position this decade for the Cubs, how about we take a tour around the great Cubs teams of the last ten years and reminisce about some of the truly awful players they actually paid to play for them. Pitchers Daniel Garibay, 2000 This wispy-mustachioed lefty reliever [...] Continue Reading

The Oughts: Best seasons of the ’00s
Posted on 21 December 2009
With just eleven days left in the decade (yes, it ends after December 31, 2009, not 2010–stop trying to be difficult), it’s time to take a look back at the ’00s, or oughts, and re-live the good and the bad as pertains to the Cubs. We’re going to look at the turning point games for good…and [...] Continue Reading
