The C stands for Choke

There's no other way to say it, they friggin' choked. The Cubs dropped a giant turd in the 2008 punch bowl, and all memories of this "magical" season have pretty much gone right down the crapper. It's so pathetic that I don't...

Baseball, Attendance and the Economy

You want to know what I'm starting to get sick of? Big-city media criticizing towns for not selling out their games during the stretch run. Last week, Mike & Mike were ragging on the Tampa Bay fans for not selling out their stadium for the Boston...

7/31/2008: Quick hits on MLB, the NFL and the NBA

Ain't nothing like random thoughts by a faceless dude on the internets, so here goes: Today was the MLB Trade Deadline, and this might have been the most active trade deadline in terms of star power ever. Three first ballot hall of famers (Pudge,...

Playoffs!? How the Chicago teams stack up

As much as I enjoy interleague play, and the Cubs-Sox series in particular, I'm happy its over. After the uber-intense crosstown classic, it's kind of nice to get back to the "normal grind" of the regular season. Where you don't...

Sox Even the Series with Sweep over Cubs

What is this, soccer? The Sox, having been swept by the Cubs at Wrigley last weekend, got their revenge and swept the Cubs this at the Cell weekend. The season series ends up tied, 3-3, and you know what they say about ties, right? It's like kissing...

Cubs Sweep Sox

The Cubs brought out the brooms this weekend on the North Side, pretty much destroying the White Sox. If you're a Cubs fan, there was a lot to like about this series. To note: Back-to-back jacks in the 7th on Friday by Aramis and Lee, followed by...

Cubs Swept by Tampa

I forgot what it feels like to watch your team get swept. After all, the Cubs hadn't lost three games in a row all year. You know, it's exactly how I remembered it. It pretty much sucks. I don't want to read too much into it because, after...

Pods to the Cubs? Why Bother?

I don't really understand why the Cubs are attempting to acquire Scott Podsednik from the White Sox. He's not very good and he's fragile. He was pretty good during the Sox championship run in 2005, but now he's basically Angel Pagan with no arm. Do the...

Cubs Bring Brooms to South Side

Despite some legitimate beefs by Perry , I'm a big fan of the Crosstown Classic. The atmosphere in the ballpark is always electric, and it's the topic of conversation for baseball fans across the city for the entire week. I was at the Cubs-Sox game a...

Checking in on...Sammy Sosa and the Texas Rangers

After losing 2 of 3 to the Padres, in spectacular fashion I might add, the Cubs have a day off tomorrow before heading to Arlington to face the Texas Rangers. Have I mentioned that I love interleague play? There's some definite flaws with the current...

Cubs take two of three from Sox

With the Bulls playoffs and Bears draft, I haven't had a chance to write about the Cubs lately. They haven't really been bad, but they had lost their last three series heading into the Crosstown Classic. The bullpen has received the brunt of the blame...

Cubs Acquire Cotts from Sox

The Cubs traded David Aardsma and a minor leaguer to the White Sox for Neil Cotts today. On paper, I can't say that I'm a big fan of this move. I can't say that I hate it either. I'm sort of in between. Neil Cotts, a lefty middle reliever, was dominant...

Labor Day Potpourri

Today was Labor Day and I just got back from a nice weekend with the family, which of course means it's time to catch up on weekend sports. The Bears made final cuts. Nothing surprising and the most notable name cut was former first rounder Michael Haynes...

Cubs-Sox: 2nd Verse, Same as First

As is the case when the two Chicago baseball franchises met back in May, the White Sox outclassed the Cubs in the first two games of the series before the Cubs salvaged some credibility by taking the third game. But really, the teams aren't nearly that...

Sox take Cubs around Wood shed

In the first two games of this series, the White Sox laid the smackdown on the Cubs. The Cubs salvaged the third game of the set, but had the Sox been able to turn a double play in the 8th, the Cubs very well may have been swept. This series really showed...
