- Cactus, that was actually the guy who was arrested at a Sox-Royals game after he and his son ran onto the field to try to beat up the Royals' ancient first base coach.
- Dear Slaky, Yes, I know, it's sad when the fans of your team decide to do the wave when your team is at bat in your home stadium. Aside from that, it's treated by many as a place to...
- I saw a game at Petco last year. We saw Giants-Pads and besides the times Bonds came up to hit, the fans there were so sterile and mindless I could hardly stand it. Aesthetics aside, that place is...

Into The Mind Of A White Sox Fan; Or, “Staring Into the Abyss” started by BadKermit
For those of you outside the Chicago area, the crosstown rivalry between the Cubs and White Sox may be a little difficult to understand. The roots of the rivalry essentially follow generationally inherited interests that fall along geographic lines. There have always been exceptions, of course, but for the most part, Cubs […]

Okay, Ryan, I’m Taking Back One Thing started by BadKermit
Okay, Ryan Dempster. I’m a big man. If I were to give you the beat-downs you so often deserve without ever stopping to give you a deserved thumbs-up, well, I’d probably be Chuck. But you know what? As PenFoe attested in this thread, you actually did something kind of cool during […]

Apparently, Chicago Does NOT Have A Monopoly On Lousy Sportswriting started by BadKermit
With all of the time we spend here pointing and laughing at Dusty Baker, one might come to the conclusion that we harbor an unhealthy obsession with the man. I suppose this may be true. Considering his tenure here, where he fooled us all with that […]

Trying To Look Forward, But I Can’t Help Looking Back started by BadKermit
So Felix Pie appears to be proving that he’s up to the challenge of playing centerfield every day in the bigs. Having been a believer of Pie’s since last season–when his numbers may not have warranted it but his presence seemed to–I’m happy about this. Of course, even if you weren’t a […]

Friday Night Fukudome: Ohman vs. Barrett started by BadKermit
With the idiotic comments by Jason Marquis last weekend, I began thinking about ex-Cubs who have crossed paths with Lou and lost. Two of the more notorious imbeciles were Michael Barrett and Will Ohman. Which one did Lou want gone more, though?

Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “At Least My Video Game Team is Good” Edition started by BadKermit
Okay, wankers, I stayed up until 3:00 a.m. trying to get someone in that video game to take Marquis off my hands, so I’m tired, and you’re in for a short, harsh, and probably unfunny Roundup. Don’t bitch. It’s free.
Good news. Soon, Soriano should be back dancing around the outfield like a […]

Rick Ankiel Online. Seriously. started by BadKermit
So, Section 242 emailed me this link quite a while ago, and I think it deserves its own mockery. That link leads you right to “Rick Ankiel Online.” Holy shit. The front page has the words, “Those Who Endure…Conquer,” written in old timey font. Like I’m reading a Bible. “In […]

Sweet Uncle Lou’s Reviews: MLB 2K8 started by BadKermit
So, Kermit convinced me to do a review of some new video baseball game, MLB 2K8. I put the thing in my VCR, and nothing happened. I called Kermit, and he said I needed some sort of Sex Box. Pervert. I went to Best Buy, and they told me I could […]

#90: Chad Hermansen “Munster” started by BadKermit
Was there ever a bigger waste of time than Chad Hermansen packing up his possessions in Pittsburgh to leave for Chicago? Ever? Wait, I know. It was probably a bigger waste of time for Hermansen to bother bringing his bat.

INT.–JIM HENDRY’S OFFICE–DAY
Cubs manager LOU PINIELLA and general manager JIM HENDRY sit around a desk in Hendry’s office. Lou’s Cubs have just dropped another game to the Diamondbacks, their Lou breathes slowly into a paper bag as Jim throws pencils at the ceiling, trying to get them to stick.
