The Cublogoverse is Consolidating
Warning: This post is entirely meta. So, if you’re looking for a post involving actual Chicago Cubs-specific content, you may want to skip this one. There’ve been quite a few ripples in the Cublogoverse over the past few months, most of which have gone unreported by yours truly. Sorry about that. I’d always intended on [...]
New Cub Fernando Perez is Not Happy With Me, And He’s Probably Right
Sometimes the anonymity of the Internet creates a false sense of importance. Unfortunately for me, it also creates a false sense of unimportance.

The Cublogoverse is Tweeting Dawson to the Hall
The good guys at Cubscast have put together a Twitter campaign to show public support for Andre Dawson’s Hall of Fame candidacy. And hey, sports writers uses Twitter like whoa, so this is not one of those futile online petition things. So if you’re a Twitter user, tweet #Dawson4TheHall at 1:20CT repeatedly. Your country needs you. [...]
The Cublogoverse is Shrinking
The Cublogoverse has always been a fluid space – shrinking and expanding as new blogs pop up, and old blogs fade away. Usually, Cubs blogs drift out without much fanfare. A post every day becomes every other day. Then every other week. And then the weeks go by. And then, sadly, it’s RIP time. Blogging [...]
