This showed up in my inbox today: Cubs sign Edmonds instead of dog sh-t by Mike Byrne The Cubs signed former Cardinals outfielder Jim Edmonds to a contract for the pro-rated MLB minimum for 2008 after a similar offer was refused by a steaming pile of...

Ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I thought it sounded kinda funny. Jim Edmonds, 37, was great four years ago. He was useful three years ago. Since then? Useless. But this isn't a terrible move for the Cubs because it's extremely low...

I've been wrapping some stuff up these past few days and as a result my posting has lagged. Typical. But I had to come out of the woodwork for this story. No, it's not about Brian Urlacher holding out, nor is it about how the White Sox can't...

I guess extending Tommie Harris and Devin Hester on top of placating Brian Urlacher weren't the top goals of the Bears this offseason, as they signed kicker Robbie Gould to a five-year, 15 million dollar deal today. His field goal percentage is awfully...

Pretty predictable headline, eh? The Cubs didn't quite get revenge on the Diamondbacks for last fall's playoff debacle by sweeping Arizona at Wrigley this weekend, but nevertheless it feels pretty good to sweep the team with the best record in...

I love my iPod. I held out for the longest time in getting one. I used to be an "early adopter" with new technology, but that sort of fell by the wayside as I moved into my late 20s. This also coincides with the time that iPods started taking...

What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't end the night with a quick few words on our starting running back, Cedric Benson. You see, Ced was out getting his drink on this weekend in Austin, Texas. This dude is living large on a 37 foot yacht. That's...

The White Sox are on a 6 game losing streak. We just the series to the Blue Jays in Toronto. I watched the majority of this game tonight and I am astonished to see how pathetic our hitters are. I can't even begin to explain it. It's not always...

The Cubs just lost 2 of 3 to the Cardinals, 7 of their last 10 overall, and now sit 1.5 games out of first in the NL Central. A few of those losses were excruciating, see Thursday and Friday , but really stretches like this hit every good team. With 162...

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/05/04/benson.bears.ap/index.html As if we needed any more proof. With the his limited production of on-field and has history of off field problems (though mostly in college), I think we all know where...

Today, Ryan Braun of the Brewers became the second guy within a month to rip Chicago Cubs fans. Two weeks ago, Marty Brennaman called us the "most obnoxious fans in baseball" when fifteen baseballs were thrown onto the field after a meaningless...

Negligent is a strong word. There was an article floating around from Peter King today that graded the Bears draft this past weekend. It pretty much summarized my angst towards this organization. Here is a snippet: The three teams I didn't like: 1...

I had over 100 emails before 11 am this morning. Ah yes, the Draft! I correctly predicted our first pick, Chris Williams. But then again, so did everyone else. No real surprise there. The second pick was predicted correctly by our sometimes-guest writer...

So the draft was this weekend and the Bears, I must admit, did OK where it matters most: the first three rounds. In general, though, the draft was a bit perplexing to this Bears fan. How can they not take a Quarterback? At all? But lets jump back a moment...

I have not been asleep at the wheel. I also haven't be hibernating. Unfortunately for all 2 of my avid readers, life sometimes throws you curveballs. I have missed, yet again, the opportunity to run a live mock draft. A true interactive blogger mock...
