I know that everyone’s probably already talked this to death.. but here at Camp Shelby, I’m a few weeks behind the real world.. I know what’s going on in the real world, but my reaction time is a little slow.. That said, this is why I think the Cubs need Mr. Sandberg.
1. We need a [...]

So Manny Ramirez has agreed to sign with the Chicago White Sox after being claimed off of waivers. Fantastic.
You’d think I’d be a big fan of Manny since he does his own thing and doesn’t take any grief from anyone. I’m actually not: I think he’s a buffoon. First off, he used the stuff [...]

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)
In the deal, the Cubs received two right handers, Robinson Lopez, 19, and Tyrelle Harris, 23, and one left hander, Jeffrey [...]

I never really minded the Reds. When I was 13, I put a Reds sticker on my dirt-bike to support them in their 1990 playoff run and World Series battle with the Bash Brothers and the rest of the Oakland A’s. They haven’t really been terribly relevant, and so I’ve had pretty impartial feelings towards [...]

So the Cubs have lost five in a row. We did a really good piece on last night’s episode with Matt Swain from Wrigleybound about the Cubs minor league system and the prospects acquired in the Lilly trade. This is going to be important information for any Cubs fan because our future is pretty much [...]

The fact that the Cubs will not have to face Ubaldo Jimenez in this series in Denver does not really matter. When your pitching staff gives up 17 runs on 21 hits, it doesn’t really matter who you are facing. You’re not going to win that game. I was thinking that the [...]

Vicente Padilla is a decent pitcher, and he definitely made the Cubs look terrible on Sunday night. During that game, he threw 75 out of 106 pitches for strikes. One of the 31 pitches that was out of the strike zone struck Marlon Byrd on the back. So was it intentional? Marlon Byrd thought it [...]

While most sports fans generally support every team that lives within the city limits it seems that in Chitown this is not the case. In Chicago, you’re either a north sider or a south sider and very rarely do you see a lot of love for the other team once you’ve chosen a side.

It’s been a few days since Armando Galarraga threw his near perfect game. He was robbed of being a part of baseball history.
So on the podcast Saturday, the guys discussed the idea of the possible expansion of instant replay in baseball. Most of you know that baseball is a very traditionalist game. This of course [...]
