Ben Gordon is signing a five-year deal worth $55 million dollars to play for the hated Detroit Pistons. I'm a little saddened by this. Gordon's not a superstar, or even an All-Star. He can't play defense to save his life, and he's not...

Lots going on with the Cubs these days. It seems every day inspires another rant. I could probably go on for 10 pages on each of these topics, but in the interest of time I'll try to be brief. DeRosa Traded to St. Louis - Jim Hendry had a chance for...

With apologies to the real Mike & Mike , my friend Mike and I engaged in a little email exchange on the Cubs the last few days that sum up the feelings of typical Cubs fans. It started Monday (after the Cubs swept the Indians) with an email from MikeB...

Ok, it's been far too long and there's a lot on my mind. Man, do the 2009 Cubs suck. Yeah, they won today...yippee! But frankly, I'm more surprised that they scored 6 runs in a single game than I am that they beat the equally execrable White...

Randy Wells pitched BRILLIANTLY tonight. No hitter through 6 2/3, supremely efficient in getting outs, and he left in the 8th leading 5-1. A Marmol/Gregg meltdown later, it's 5-5 going into extras. I swear, I called the Gregg Meltdown before he even...

I probably shouldn't be writing this because, well, we have our Quarterback now. And as coach said, only cowards live in the past. But ultimately this post is more about our coaching staff than it is about Grossman, so here goes. Rex Grossman can't...

Well, this regular season ain't going exactly as expected, is it? I never thought they'd run away with it, of course, but its still a bit frustrating watching the team that won 97 games last year just tread water and look so...ordinary. Lets do...

Not really what I want to be writing about but it's been a rough coupla days. This time last week the Sox were in first, now they're sitting in 4th. Ouch. It's only two and a half games out as I type this and they are playing first place KC...

Game Seven ended a little over 24 hours ago, and I'm kind of sad that the Bulls season is over. It seems kind of weird to say that, considering how much I loathed the team back in December, but its true. After the big trade , they morphed into a genuinely...

Some days in April I felt like I didn't know what we had and others it seemed that things were starting to take shape (for good). I guess first place, even by a narrow margin, alleviates some of the worry. What I do like, beside the obvious, are the...

The Jay Cutler trade took a little fun out of this year's draft for Bears fans, but I don't hear many people complaining. We got our guy. Yeah, we gave up two number ones, a number three, and Orton. But that's not really that much, if you...

The Bulls and Hawks are looking good in the playoffs, the Cubs and Sox are both coming off playoff appearances and off to a decent start. Oh, and the Bears just traded for a franchise Quarterback, only two seasons removed from a Super Bowl appearance...

For the first time in MLB history two teammates have hit century milestones in the same game. Not only that but Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko did it hitting back-to-back in the second. That's the cool thing about baseball, this game is played over...

The Cubs wrapped up a 3-game series against the Brewers tonight, and all three games lived up to the hype. Some thoughts: Freaking Kevin Gregg. He's yet another in the long line of on-and-on-and-on crappy closer acquisitions for the Cubs. Antonio...

With the exception of my stomach turning every time I saw the red and blue #24 I was feeling OK about this game until about the 7th inning but before I go there I'll begin with what I thought would be the main focus of my thoughts tonight. I was at...
