A New Sports Bloggin’ Day
Why hullo there. I’m Mickey, the younger brother of the dude who will bring you a weekly peek inside the hilarious and passionate sports zeitgeist. We’re new to the CubicleGM team and damn glad to meet you.
Back in the sports blogging earlier times (read: 2007), Smokey and I founded a blog called the Sports Brethren, [...]
This Week on the Internets (for 22 June 2009)
I was told recently by my grandmother that “who needs the Internets, all that’s on there is porn and jokes”. Although this may far and away be the case – and quite the statement from a woman who doesn’t own a computer – I will attempt to politely differ and provide below what else worthwhile [...]
A Farewell to Mike Brown
Chicago fans are a special breed. They’ll welcome players with open arms, cheer them when they perform, and turn on them in an instant when things go sour. Fans in the Windy City won’t hesitate to tell and show their players exactly how they really feel.
There are a few select players, however, who become fan [...]
New to the Neighborhood
Oh, hello there, I didn’t see you come in. I’m Walker, the latest addition to CubicleGM (CGM – can I take that liberty, CAPS LOCK?) and the resident college sports aficionado. I’ll admit that unlike my CGM colleagues, I’m rather new to this whole posting on the Internet machine thing; my previous medium of choice [...]
Changes Underway
Just a quick reminder that you are experiencing significant change here at CubicleGM. Whilst (note this is the 13th post to include ‘Whilst’ – a strong 16% usage factor) sitting in your cube, you are smack dab in the middle of a revolution, an epic revolution. Originally introduced here, I wanted to provide a summary [...]
Smokey’s Potpourri
Salutations, internet. I planned on doing this big ol’ piece comparing my rise through the ranks of life and Hollywood with that of Adam Morrison, but life throws a wikid curveball sometimes and you, dear reader, get to be the lucky recipient of my mind drivel. Without further ado, here be a potpourri of the [...]
Minor League Update – June
The time has come for our June Minor League update. A few of our little fellas are growing up right before our eyes, while a few struggle to find their way in the minors. The previous monthly updates can be found here: April, May. Let’s dive into it:
Madison Bumgarner
The huge early career that Madison has [...]
Glad to be Here… Now Let’s Get Down to Business
Hi, my name is Jacob…and I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. (Crowd: “Hi Jacob”)
I’ve been a fan for almost 20 years, ever since I had the opportunity to go onto Wrigley Field when I was younger. I’ve tried my best to quit, and just when I thought I had hit rock bottom (2006), the team manages [...]
The Six Man Starting Pitching Rotation? For Real?
In a story very much related to the recent discussion of about the next member of the 300 Win Club, twice this week we see stories about teams considering switching to 6 man starting pitching rotations. Teams have been using the 5 man rotation since the Dodgers introduced the idea in 1971. Is it possible [...]
