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 [...]

In the last week or 10 days, I have nearly lost all interest in the Cubs. On Friday, Andy and I spent the afternoon at a bar in LeClaire, IA to watch the Cubs/Sox game and a World Cup match. I have little interest in soccer, though I do dabble in it during [...]

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 [...]

As a Chicago sports site, we’re kind of tied to everything that goes on in professional sports in the windy city. (With the exception of MLS) So I feel we’d be way out of line if we didn’t mention the fact that tonight the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 this evening, going up [...]

Ok, so I’m still completely out of the loop, with the exception of my 10 minutes I get to watch sportscenter on silent every morning while I eat breakfast. And every so often, I get some random tidbit of information where I sit back and say.. What the hell? There are a lot of things [...]

I suppose it’s because we were too busy watching 18 innings of knock down drag out rivalry baseball yesterday.. but somehow, none of us gave a shout out to the saddest day in Chicago baseball.. Obviously, it happened on the South Side.. but it still needs to be mentioned. Clearly, I’m referring to Disco Demolition [...]

I’ve been putting off this post for a few days, but a Monday night with no Cubs game and a wife that wants to watch The Bachelorette is giving me the 20 minutes it takes for me to construct a post and then go back and attempt to fix all my grammatical errors.
During Lou’s presser [...]

Conditions for viewing last night’s game outside of the Chicagoland area were not good. Even people who ponied up the near $200 for the MLB package on DirecTV (Corey) couldn’t get it. I’ll stay away from satellite/cable bashing since I’m sure there are blogs devoted entirely to doing just that, but it seems pretty ridiculous [...]

Bob Brenly made a trip to the Quad Cities. I’m sure Paul is heartbroken that he missed him. It’s not huge news, but it did make the paper thanks to our good friend Matt Veto. With the Cubs on FOX and a rare weekend day off, Brenly took in the Peoria Chiefs v. QC River [...]

This is the last day of my summer vacation. I’m a little disappointed that the Cubs don’t have a game today that I can savor as my last of the summer. These days off help a pitching staff, though. I suppose the health of the Cubs are more important than me having the luxury of [...]
