So Wednesday night Nationals outfielder Nyjer Morgan seriously lost it and just like that, the whole country had a reason to be interested in the Nationals just like they did before Strasburg got hurt.
Here’s a brief overview of what happened. Tuesday night Morgan slammed into Marlins catcher Brett Hayes who ended up suffering a [...]

In this installment of our new series “Show Some Love” I’d like to talk about Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland. This is course comes to light every time he’s been thrown out of a game for arguing with the umpires, which has been a lot because Detroit hasn’t had a great year. Jim himself never played in [...]

Seeing as how I’ve managed to smear myself all over the internet, it should be no surprise that I’ve been assigned yet another gig writing for a website called Get Off My Mound.

It’s official. The Cubs have finally traded first baseman Derrek Lee to the Atlanta Braves for three pitching prospects. (The title of this post is supposed to be an Alice in Chains reference if you hadn’t caught that)

Now, I’ve been away from the site for a couple of weeks, but I had to come on here tonight and just talk a little about how much [...]

I’m a die hard Cubs fan and a proud member of the IvyEnvy podcast team.
One of the best rivalries in sports is the Cubs and Cardinals. Two working class cities with great fan bases that have a genuine competitive dislike for each other.

Text message from Paul – April 21st, 12:22pm
They should move Carlos to the pen when Lilly comes back.
I can’t hang with about 3/4 of what Paul says about the Cubs, but he has an incredible track record with this stuff. Last year, when I hadn’t heard a single person say anything about it (and [...]
