Honestly, I would appreciate it if you would enlighten me as to what in the name of Pinella you are thinking. Let’s stop the sale of alcohol from the end of the seventh inning until the end of the game at bars around the stadium. Why? What what will this accomplish? If you want to [...]

I’m not sure to what extent this story is reliable, but in light of the debate here on NQTC about the way the Brewers organization treats its employees, I am reprinting the whole thing from Wrigleyville23: WASHINGTON – Federal officials confirmed late Wednesday that the Occupation Safety & Health Administration is launching an investigation into [...]

Is Dusty Baker’s daughter sleeping with Corey Patterson? Why else would Dusty have a guy that can’t bat his weight leading off? Oh right, because he is an idiot. “Air” McNabb will be throwing all night next Sunday against the Bears, especially with Westbrook on the shelf. Is this Lou’s last year managing? Whether he [...]

Thanks to Big Bri for bringing this to my attention. I noted in the links the other day that the City was asking Wrigleyville bars to stop serving alcohol after the 7th inning in clinching games. It appears Mayor Daley has taken the fight to Wrigleyville. I’m not sure how this is justified and definitely [...]

The Chicagoist dug this up on youtube. It is hilarious. Trust me you want to watch until the end. There is something about Ozzie’s style that is endearing, and then there’s the larger part of his style that is just obnoxious. Watch the whole thing, it’s pretty funny.

Do you sense the sarcasm in this little post from a Brewers blog? I don’t think we should let CC Sabathia pitch anymore guys. He’s really throwing way to many pitches. I mean…it’s just not that nice. You guys should really think about his future…I mean…we are MAIMING him. The Brewers should be ashamed of [...]

After presiding over one of the most embarrassing and futile eras in professional sports, Fox Sports is reporting that Detroit Lions President/GM Matt Millen is out in Motown. Since Millen was hired in 2001, the Lions limped to a 31-84 record and I don’t think more than one or two of those wins were on [...]

Thanks to Deez Nuts for this list of pitchers with the highest pitch counts on the year. This was from September 11, and apparently C.C. is up to 3471 now. The guys with the most pitches from last year were invariably hurt this year… The Marcus Bradley Era in Chicago ends quietly. This guy seemed [...]

The Brewers might have to go to a5-sausage rotation if they keep over-working their pitchers Well some discussion in the War Room of late has been about whether the Brewers use of C.C. Sabathia this year has been ethical. They are purposely making him pitch extremely high pitch counts in their push for the playoffs, [...]

Thanks to Ethan for the link. You know that addicting photo hunt game on the machine at a lot of bars? Well now the game is on ESPN with NFL pictures. It’s addicting, and if I flunk out I’m blaming you Ethan.

This picture is posted on Luol’s Dong with some whining about the Sox not getting any love. Boo hoo. Go Cubs.

Take a moment and thank God, Allah, Vishnu, Ditka, or whomever you pray to, that the out of conference schedule is over for the Big Ten. Everyone pretty much went with cupcakes to start the year, except for Ohio State, who got frosted by USC. Ohio State decided to sandwich their match-up with USC with [...]

I don’t know if anyone remembers this, but I found this video via BDL. I would say that Barney’s defense is a bit suspect, but that’s just me.

According to this memorial he was “potent” and“agile”, but no mention of his boner anywhere… I consider myself a huge Cubs fan but I have never heard of “Merkle’s Boner”. Apparently in 1908, some guy named Merkle dicked up a September game for the Giants which led to the Cubs winning the World Series: Tuesday [...]

Sex Cannon’s sister robbed at gunpoint in Lincoln Park. Any ideas who might have been trying to hurt the Sex Cannon (or his sister?) Some crazy Carl Lewis music video he made from the 80s. His voice isn’t bad, but I think he’s gay. Who knows, the 80s were a weird time. Top ten Cubs [...]
