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 [...]

If you attempted to follow the live blogging for yesterday’s game, you noticed that:
1. If you get up early enough on a Saturday morning, time plays tricks on you and you you head out the door 5 hours before you wake up.
2. Live-blogging didn’t work. I don’t know care why. But since [...]

Cubs vs. Cardinals. I believe it’s one of the best rivalries in baseball. My feelings may be biased though, as I grew up in the heart of Cubs vs. Cardinals territory. I draw the Mason-Dixon line of these two clubs at Galesburg, Illinois. The Quad Cities Area is 45 minutes north [...]

I just got back from our IvyEnvy Cubs Jr. / Cardinals Jr. meet-up at Modern Woodmen Park.
We all had a great time tonight. If you’ve never been to MWP, I can tell you that it is an excellent experience. We watched the Peoria Chiefs get completely crushed by the Quad City [...]

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.
During last night’s broadcast, Corey had mentioned that Paul predicted Albert Pujols [...]

I recently decided that I will not be purchasing the MLB Extra Innings package. Last year, I didn’t use it nearly as much as I expected that I would. A few times, we’d be out in the backyard on the weekend and a game from the NL or AL Central would finish and we would [...]

Major League Baseball threw a big party today with signings all over the place. I’m assuming it was to celebrate the 24th Anniversary of the Bears winning the Super Bowl.
The Cubs finally named their 4th outfielder – Xavier Nady. I’m sure Cubs fans are already brainstorming nicknames based around the letter “X”. [...]

I’d like to give a shout-out to regular Ivy Envy podcast guest and Dispatch-Argus sportswriter, Matt Veto. Veto has the unfortunate responsibility of covering the Cardinals and their Single-A affiliate here in the Quad Cities. With the Cardinals Caravan rolling into town yesterday, I expected today’s Sports Page to be dominated by Cardinals. I was [...]

* Randy Johnson has retired after 22 seasons.
I have always liked Randy Johnson. He’s a sure-bet for the Hall of Fame and it’s pretty safe to say that in my lifetime, he’s dominated the world of pitching and mullets. He was a 10-time All Star, 5-time Cy Young Winner (won in both NL and AL) [...]
