Curse of the Cubbies Continues at Wrigley
October 3, 2008 - No Comments A quote from my friend Morgan, a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan: “I don’t understand how they can come in here, in the playoffs, so unprepared. At home even, its a disgrace!” A disgrace indeed Morgan, a disgrace Cubs fans are all too familiar with — losing in the playoffs. The Chicago Cubs finished this season with the best record in the National league, yet all of that seems like a distant memory now, as the 0-2 deficit they find.... Read More

MLB Playoffs Roundup: Brewers in, White Sox/Twins TBD
September 29, 2008 - No Comments In what was a devastating day for me personally, the Milwaukee Brewers clinched the National League Wild Card with a late-inning two-run blast from Ryan Braun, while the New York Mets bullpen collapsed once again, giving up back-to-back home runs in the top of the eighth inning in what was a tie ballgame. At around 3 p.m. yesterday all seemed positive in “Mets land” as the Amazins’ were tied with the Florida Marlins at 2-2 in the.... Read More
MLB Opts to Implement Instant Replay
August 26, 2008 - No Comments After weeks of speculation, Major League Baseball has opted to officially implement an instant replay system starting for series beginning this Thursday. The MLB’s opposition to instant replay has been longstanding; however, a recent rash of incorrectly called home runs has sparked an interest in resurrecting the discussion.

Fragile Harden to Cursed Cubbies
July 9, 2008 - No Comments For any of you that think fragile, but dominant when healthy, pitcher Rich Harden to the Cubs is a roll of the dice for the lovable losers, think again. As I see it, this is a win-win situation for the Cubs, who also acquired surprisingly good Chad Gaudin in the deal. If Harden stays healthy, he will be dominant and very well may lead the Cubs to the World Series this season. However, if Harden gets injured, the Cubs get to continue to embrace.... Read More
