A FEW BRIEF BASEBALL NOTES

OK so it’s the 4th of July the Cubs once again got their clock cleaned. Nothing to see here but our usual ample supply of said clock polish.
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 [...]

CUBS FANS AND WHITE SOX FANS

 
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.
Lately I [...]

INSTANT REPLAY IN BASEBALL

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 [...]

THE CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

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 [...]

THE CRUSHING BLOW THAT IS HAVING NICE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT ALFONSO SORIANO (2010)

By Ryan Meehan

Just wanted to address that we ripped the Fonze pretty much all year last year. He wasn’t fielding well and his bat was pretty much on vacation when we needed to really make a playoff push.
But Soriano is hitting much better this year. He isn’t swinging at many of the “ground [...]

05/21/10: Cubs Jr. vs. Cardinals Jr. at Modern Woodmen Park

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 [...]

OPEN LETTER TO MILTON BRADLEY

Hello Milton,
I saw the story on Sportscenter this morning about how you have finally come to terms with the fact that you have serious personal issues and that you are taking time off from your daily schedule with the Seattle Mariners to do so.
And I have to admit, I am very proud of you. [...]

Why I Can’t Hate Albert Pujols

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 [...]

Looking forward to a great series

I just started watching game one of the Cubs/Phillies series. Since the Cubs have underperformed the first half of the season, I’ve had to remind myself that I still really like baseball, good baseball, and just enjoy watching the game without worrying about the standings. After a pretty weak first half the Cubs are just [...]
