Tom Ricketts knows you’re special (just like Todd)

Rick Morrissey wants you all to calm down!
Apparently Rick Morrissey is still being paid to write sports columns for a Chicago newspaper–believe me, I’m as surprised as you are–and earlier this week he had a very important message for all of you Cubs fans getting excited about the debut of…
So it’s funny when the American forgets how many outs there are?
Just a couple of weeks ago in San Francisco, Starlin Castro thought there were two outs when there was only one, and he ate the ball and started to trot off the field when he should have tried (though it was unlikely to have worked) to turn a double play. Â A run…
Bill Murray’s Sally League Hall of Fame speech is must see for any Cubs fan
Renowned minor league baseball team owner, Cubs fan and sometime actor/comedian Bill Murray was inducted into the South Atlantic “Sally” League Hall of Fame. His speech was at times poignant, funny and rambling, but mostly it was awesome. And the part…
Who doesn’t love Phildo’s All-City teams?
Did you know that the Cubs and Sox start a three game series tonight? Â Apparently they do, and with the return of three more mildy interesting games comes a second chance for baseball genius Phil Rogers to pass on doing an All-City team, because nobody gives a shit….
Cubs Report: They’re bad

Philo’s Power Wankings — Gotta watch that headhunting!
When last we left our beloved national baseball writing dumbass he was trying to figure out why Joe Maddon can’t just pick a lineup and use it, his boner was only partly flaccid over the Conor Gillaspie era in San Francisco (alas, Conor lasted only six days and…
Kerry Wood has had enough of this bullshit
As retirements go, there have been more artfully executed ones. Â Sometime yesterday, Kerry Wood decided he was going to retire…tonight, AFTER the Cubs game with the White Sox. Â But he made the number one mistake you can make. Â He told his wife. Â So now…
Cubs Live? Cubs at Satanic Fowl, 12:45 pm

Phildo’s Power Wankings: Can’t stop that Braves offense!
Last time on Mild Retardation Theater, Phil waxed poetic about…Curtis Granderson…again (I know, right?), how Kenny Williams assraped Brad Eldred’s budding career four years ago and how Marlon Byrd’s mere presence had righted whatever was…
My new favorite picture, ever
Emasculating haircut? Â Check. Emasculating dog? Â Check. Comfy pants? Check. Orange running shoes that Steve Prefontaine likely tested in 1973? Â Check. Pink bag filled with rolled up dog shit retrieval bags? Â Check. Bemused look? Â Check. Giving the old fuck you to…
Phildo’s Power Wankings: The (not) putting Pujols into context edition
When last we heard from our ranking hero Phil Rogers he was trying to understand the Spinx that is Chad Billingsley, he was rewarding the Mets scrappy start by moving them down the rankings, and he wanted to rank the plucky Indians higher, but the feces throwing…
Terrible Cubs of Recent Vintage: 1997
The current edition of the Cubs is awful. They’ve won six of their first 18, which is awful. But the Cubs know awful better than anybody else. And so, here’s the start of a short series titled: Terrible Cubs of a Recent Vintage, a (fake) oral history of…
Somebody’s red ass is showing
Our good friend Paul Sullivan posted a shot of a horde of seagulls hanging out in the left field bleachers yesterday late in the Cubs-Cardinals game at Wrigley. The photo consisted of several seagulls, two drunk guys in Cubs jerseys and four people huddled up in the…
Phildo’s Power Wankings — Inanity run amok!
When last we left our fearless ranking hero, he was trying to rhyme Lewis and Holland with Spahn and Sain, and he was marveling at how normally docile Atlantonians could be so creatively vile towards Ryan Braun. Phil Rogers’ MLB power rankings Rangers hold…
