Mark Grace has always been my favorite player of all time.  Most hits in the 90’s, always seemed to come through in the clutch, funny as hell, party guy and of course, the slumpbuster legend.  Well my boy weighed in on the steroid issue and offered this reason for why he never took PEDs:
“I like [...]

This was one of the greatest baseball commercials of all-time.  I remember when it came out I couldn’t stop laughing at it.  Maddux and Glavine are flat out funny.  If only they knew that all that working out was useless and they could have just injected some HGH.  I bet they’re feeling pretty stupid now, [...]

I know its January and you are probably still trying to forget about the awful 2009 Cubs season.  I have tried to avoid following the trade rumors and other nonsense surrounding the Cubs for a few months just to recover from that disaster.  While all the rumors have really only culminated in 2 additions — [...]

Michael Barrett: animated cubs catcher.  Fought A.J. Pierzynski.  Fought Carlos Zambrano.  Now, pleads guilty to shadily videotaping Erin Andrews nude?  Yikes, glad the Cubs shipped this guy out of town!  Ok, so the guy who videotaped the hot broadcaster isn’t the same Michael Barrett who played in Chicago, but I don’t think either guy is happy to [...]

PhillyBurbs.com is reporting that Pat Burrell has been traded from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Cubs, who then dealt him to the Mets:

Former Phillies outfielder Pat Burrell has reportedly been swapped twice this morning, eventually landing with Phils division rival the New York Mets.
The Tampa Bay Rays traded the slugging left fielder to the [...]

My dad sent this to me this morning, obviously perturbed about the Twins great lack of respect for the mighty White Sox (sarcasm).  Anyways, enjoy the goofy commercial:

I waited to weigh in on the most recent news involving the White Sox organization until it was official. Mark Teahen is coming to the South Side while Chris Getz and Josh Fields pack their bags for Kansas City.  The White Sox wanted the versatile Teahen to add youth to an aging outfield or add [...]

I don’t know guys, you tell me.  If anyone thinks this isn’t a spitball, thats fine.  The bottom line is that he looks around to see if anyone is watching, then he spits on the ball.  See for yourselves:

I don’t think it would tarnish his legacy or anything, but it would throw into doubt a [...]

While Chicago tries to forget the 2009 season, some people are still analyzing it.  One such person, Wayne Winston the noted statistician, has been using a different statistic to measure a player’s value (I think its been around for a while, but no one ever listens to it because its not one of baseball’s “traditional” [...]

It’s a beautiful picture, isn’t it?  I mean its just amazing.  Sure everyone is blaming Holliday for the loss, but let’s be honest: there’s enough blame to go around.  Colby Rasmus trying to stretch a double to a triple and getting thrown out, Franklin melting down after the error, and LaRussa watching it all happen [...]

I’ve always heard about players stealing signs from 2nd base, but it’s usually very difficult for us fans to see it from the stands or even on TV.  Until now that is.  Check out Mauer clearly stealing signs in the Twins-Tigers game from Monday night.  It’s subtle, but it’s definitely happening.

I was less eager to write the obituary for the 2009 White Sox than Stormin Norman was when he gleefully leapt off the Cubs bandwagon earlier this month.  There was nothing cathartic for me in coming to grips with the Sox demise. Stormin Norman’s at least freed his mind from caring for a team that [...]

Okay here’s the deal, although I would argue that most Cubs fans are as good of fans as any White Sox fan, there are definitely some that only go to the games to get drunk and pick up chicks (or dudes, I’m not judging).  Even if that is the case however, the remaining real Cubs [...]

Bitternutz, an avid NQTC reader and commenter, sent me this little rant about his beloved White Sox today.  I’m reposting it here for any Sox fans who wish to read it (or any Cubs fans who enjoy sharing the misery of the 2009 season with our south side brethren).  Enjoy!

Listen guys, I know you all hate Milton Bradley.  Even I have piled on from time to time.  The thing is, I believe there is enough blame to share for the whole team: Jim Hendry, the bullpen, Lou, injuries, Lee’s slow start, Soto’s sophomore slump, etc.  As a fan, you are entitled to be upset [...]
