With the name Saloon included in our moniker, one could surmise that we here at TMS like to drinky drinky. One that would make such an assumption would be correct, thereby throwing out the whole, 'when you assume you make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me' bullshit. We also like to plagiarize each ...

Welcome to Link Bulimia, where purging never felt so good. This is your one stop shop for all the stupid, violent, and horrifying links that I stumble across during my weekly laps around the internets. If you happen to find something particularly jarring to where you'll never be able to ...

The 2008 NFL season is finally upon us and in the tradition of the Wrigley 7th inning stretch, TMS will bring in B-list celebrities none of you have heard of to provide NFL picks. Last week insane former newsman Dan Rather went 9-5. His folksly homespun charm did a nice job of sweeping John ...

We caught up with a drunken Ronald McDonald, makeup smeared and breath reeking of cheap gin, outside of a IHOP in Peoria. He was with a whore. We asked him if he would answer a few questions and handicap various competitions. He stuck with the script for a short time before derailing ...

Appaloosa I'm a big fan of Westerns and I had already read the book, so this was a no-brainer for me. I was further intrigued when I read that Ed Harris had fallen in love with the book while on vacation and had immediately purchased the rights. In my estimation, Ed Harris is one of the ...

In keeping with the dying dregs of the baseball talk around these parts, I thought it best to look one final time (at least I think it's the final time, depending on whatever posts follow this week) at our Cubs, in the hopes that I can bring myself some closure to the Summer of 2008. It had ...

We're back again with another TMS Bookworm. Every so often, we feel the need to flex our intellectual muscles and let you know that we still kick it old school by (gasp!) reading books. Today we're taking a look at sport-specific books, where the subjects deal with, uh...sports. Biographies ...

I'm not here to beat a dead horse. Yes, the Cubs got swept out of the playoffs for the second consecutive year. I'm not going to re-hash what should have happened, what could have been done differently, who came up short, etc. I'm not going to play the guessing game that is "Who Will/Won't ...

Most of us Cubs fans were pretty much
shellshocked once the final out of Game 3 came
down. This wasn't how it was supposed to end.
First, condolences. I have many friends and love ones who root for the Cubs and have no desire to see you go through this year in and year out. My own father is a long suffering Cubbie from the North Side. I had the advantage of growing up within ear shot of Vin Scully though, and if you can ...

Well, here we are again. Exactly where we were a year ago. Three and done to an NL West team. Once again, no offense does the Cubs in. So, we pack up our baseball dreams for another off-season and wonder just what the fuck went wrong. There's tears to be shed, teeth to gnash, and axes to ...
