Just a day before starting the playoffs, the Cubs picked up the option on Skipper Lou Piniella for the 2010 season.
Sure, all he did was bring back-to-back division titles to the Cubs immediately after the team went 66-96 in 2006.
It feels good to have Lou locked up for a couple more years after the turnaround [...]

Remember the Cubs? It seems like forever since they have played a game. It really hasn’t been long, just a little while since you cared what the outcome was. Plenty more Cubs content to come, but here’s a quick preview of the series. Check out some position match-ups over at Top [...]

This is great. The Twins and White Sox in baseball’s version of the play-in game. Time to see if the Sox can slam their way to another victory to grab the AL Central Championship and possibly build some momentum going into the playoffs. If you would have told me at the start [...]

That’s right. Hockey. Get used to it. The regular season opener for the Blackhawks is October 10th, so it’s time to remind you that hockey really does still exist, and that the Hawks are going to be pretty damn good this year. As these words are hitting the e-paper, the Blackhawks [...]

Did Penn State prove me and the rest of the doubters wrong Saturday night against Illinois? Yeah, mostly. Illinois did keep the game close, trailing 31-24 with about 13 minutes left in the game. Illinois lost their second game of the year, but both losses came to teams who now sit in [...]

Alexei Ramirez hits a grand slam to take the lead and the Sox beat the Tigers 8-2 to force a one game playoff with the Twins.
Sox want you to wear black to the Cell Tuesday. We’ll see whose funeral you’re attending.
Order accordingly. Wrigleyville bar owners agree to cut off alcohol sales early for [...]

This actually happened yesterday in the Raiders-Chargers game. Lane Kiffin ordered for a 76 yard field goal attempt. He is sooooo fired.

Thanks to Ethan for this wonderful photo. For those of you who don’t know what Bukakke is, it is what the Cubs did to the Brewers pretty much all seasson. Oh and its this too.

Apparently Ozzie has run out of things to break in his office. After Saturday night’s terrible loss to the Indians, Ozzie was angry. The Sun-Times reported:
There wasn’t much in the office left for Ozzie Guillen to break after the latest humiliation Saturday.
He took care of that after the embarrassment he witnessed Friday.
It [...]

There’s more White Sox baseball. After winning yesterday, they play the make-up game against Detroit, then a possible one game playoff against the Twins Tuesday.
Bear Down, Chicago Bears! Bears win a tight one against Philly and finally execute in the 4th quarter. What a goal line stand on 4th down!
Reasons for being [...]

A little roundup of the baseball in Chicago to date:
Chicago White Sox

I don’t want to be a dick about this, but the Sox completely shit the bed at the Metrodome this week. That is why the situation stands as it does and the Sox aren’t preparing for the playoffs right now.
The White Sox blew [...]

This story comes from Rumors and Rants about how great it is to live in the South. Especially this time of year, a lot of us like to use casual Fridays to support our favorite teams. We break out our Payton jersey, our old student section football tee, or Fukudome jersey tee.
Well, don’t even think [...]

Conference play has finally started in the Big Ten! Well, not until Saturday but still…!!! Two big games this weekend with Big Ten Championship implications.
The premier game of the weekend in the Big Ten is Illinois at Penn State. This is a night game in Beaver Stadium, so it won’t be easy [...]

Reverend Meeks protested funding disparity in schools by pulling thousands of kids out of school and making them go to Winnetka. Now he’s suggesting the same thing except this time 6,000 kids to surround Wrigley Field during the first playoff game? Come on guy, give it a rest.
Cubs lost, but Harden looked solid [...]

Wrigleyville23 comes up big again with a funny video. I’m not sure why it was made or what the point is. Enjoy.
