Chance to win $200 gift card at The Outside Corner on Bloguin

We're glad that we're among your go to destinations for Cubs blogs. Despite my occasional attempts to cover MLB more thoroughly, it ends up failing. Since we don't cover MLB thoroughly, we wanted to suggest you spend some time over at The Outside Corner every now and again. They're in our 5 site rotation of daily national reads and have taken it upon themselves to try to solve a problem many of us wrestle with: How to efficiently find good baseball content? You'll recall that Berselius published a pre-season analysis of the Cubs over at The Outside Corner.

Below is a look at The Outside Corner Newsletter that will be going out 1-2x a week starting tomorrow. Obviously they'll promote their own content, but it will be similar to the Awful Announcing Newsletter (recommended as well), in which they'll promote the must reads of the week from all around the web as well as tweets and photos you may have missed. Basically, if you signup you can read more quality baseball content since we're too lazy to provide non-Cubs news.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! If you sign up here, you'll be entered for a $200 Vivid Seats Gift Card drawing they'll do at the end of the month.

Yes they paid us to post this, but we wouldn't have done so if we didn't think this was a worthy cause so sign up before they cancel the check.

Now back to your regular programming.

i wonder how much better sports would be if athletes were allowed to spend four years formally studying things like kinesiology and strategy.

Speaking of spreading the word, I saw Book of Mormon over the weekend and I can’t recommend it enough. If you have the opportunity to go see it, you absolutely have to. It is hysterical with a sometimes very poignant story driving it. I’m sure the other casts are great as well, but the Chicago cast is fantastic. The female lead is tremendous and has some amazing pipes. I saw her posing for pictures on our way out of the theater and she is the tiniest little pixie. I can’t believe a voice that strong came out of such a small person.

I’m assuming that people reading this are not easily offended because you are here and reading the comments, but I will throw out the requisite warning that this is not for children. One of the main characters is named General Butt Fucking Naked if that gives you any idea.

It is expensive, but it is totally worth it. Best show I have seen in a long time and I’m considering going again before it leaves Chicago in September.
