Who wants to see Edward Mujica eat a booger?
Man, that kid will eat anything.
Two idiots, no waiting
So, on Saturday, the Phillies fired folksy old Charlie Manuel and replaced him as manager with Ryne Sandberg. Cubs fans had three reactions: That’s nice for Ryne. Who gives a shit? THE CUBS ARE SO STUPIDS! WHY DIDN’T THEY HIRE RYAN SANDBURG TO MANAGE THE…
Nobody did an interview like Harry
MLB.com unearthed this gem, it’s Harry Caray interviewing Bill Murray before the first attempted night game in Wrigley history, 25 years ago tonight. Nobody did an interview like Harry. Â He gave Bill a beer, asked about Bill’s mom, and yelled, “You…
Tom Emanski finally branches out
It’s about time Tom Emanski branched out, this time into the highly competitive world of kickball. Â I mean, the guy’s no Ron Stilanovich… And, whither the Crime Dog?
Podcast Ep 22 — Paul is dead?
The podcast is back after weeks off, and really, you’d think we’d have better stuff saved up. Â But, we do talk a lot of baseball for a change, I make some TV recommendations, Kermit apparently has played every video game ever and Warren’s big book…
Why trade Nate?
The trade deadline is fast approaching the Cubs have already done quite a bit of heavy lifting. Â Matt Garza is off to pie people in Texas in the face. Â Alfonso Soriano is the third youngest Yankee. Â Scott Hairston it…wait, was he ever really even on the team?…
Farewell, sweet prince
I got the word this afternoon that Paul Sullivan was no longer with us. Â It’s a sad day, gang. Â A sad, sad day. Bruce Miles doesn’t need this kind of pressure. Â He’s got to do all the work, and they only let him work half the time. So try to hold…
Exhaustive oral history of the Cubs switch to blue shoes
Over the weekend, Al at bleedcubbieblue.com really stepped up his game and wrote about 10,000 words on the different start times of Cubs games at Wrigley Field over the years. Â Now, everyone knows that Al and I are regular chums and I only pretend to give him a hard…
Farewell to the Albatross
Has it really been seven years? Â We were so young then, weren’t we? Â On that November Sunday when the Cubs threw silly money at the flawed, but best free agent on the market and brought Alfonso Soriano to town. Â The contract seemed way too long. Â Eight years…
Logjammin’ at third base
So the Matt Garza era is over in Chicago. Â The man good enough to be traded for Sam Fuld, has been shipped off to Arlington, Texas where he’ll join a really talented team with a batshit crazy (and likely coked up) manager. Â Garza will fit right in. Â Though at…
Podcast 21 – XBONEd
Virtually unlimited nonsense
This morning I got wind of a new Al Yellon article so poorly thought out, so unreasonably daffy and so incompetent that I cursed the Twitter Gods for suspending my account because I wanted to share some good old Steve Stone motherboy flesh with the world. It was going…
Steve Stone got me suspended by Twitter
If you’re wondering why the visibility of @desipiodotcom on Twitter is so poor right now, all you kids watching from home, it’s Steve Stone’s fault. Sort of. Yesterday Twitter got flooded with more annoying spam tweets than usual. Â And I got one…
Podcast ep 20 – The neverending podcast
We’re back, and longer than ever. Â We podcast during the first round of the MLB Draft and actually pay attention, for a while. Â We talk Cubs, as we are contractually obligated, defend out tweets and I spend a good 10 minutes breaking down the Liberace bio-pic…
2013 MLB Draft Preview
The night the Cubs have been waiting for, since this time last year is here. Â It’s the first day (night, actually) of the 2013 Major League Baseball Rule 4 Draft. Â The Cubs have the second pick in the draft thanks to being the second worst team in baseball…
Maybe Pythagoras is just full of shit
Dale Sveum is not a mathematician. Â In fact, he doesn’t seem to be much of a thinker. Â So it’s unlikely that he understands that his fourth place Cubs really shouldn’t be bad. Â They ought to be mediocre. Woo! Â Cubs fever. Â Catch it. Â And die….
One more Hanguk Safforn for breakfast
Check out this South Korean baseball player who is pretty sure he got ALL OF IT and just ended the game: Looks like he needed one more Hanguk Safforn for breakfast. (Todd Walker feels the bat flip needed much more disgust.)
So, this guy is the dumbest ever
We got the answer to an ages old question this morning. What does the Chicago Tribune do when it needs someone to write a column that is so awful, pointless and just, plain, wrong that even David Haugh won’t write it? Ladies and (oh, who are we kidding…)…
