The Cubs season has gone south, and dragged my interest in baseball down with it.  Thank god the Bears and Bulls are on the horizon, but for now we can take solace in this ridiculously awesome comment from Brandon Phillips of the Reds:
I hate the Cardinals. All they do is bitch and moan about everything, [...]

Monday Carlos Silva left the game in the first inning due to an abnormal heart beat. Reportedly, Lou Piniella noticed Silva’s heart was beating and immediately called the emergency medical team since the Zombie Cubs have a strict no show of life policy.
Ok, so that might be in bad taste (I sincerely hope Silva the [...]

Today two Chicago franchises continued to take small steps in opposite directions. No, I am not writing about the White Sox and the Cubs, but the Bulls and Cubs. The Chicago Bulls continued their summer of baby steps by adding C.J. Watson via a side-and-trade with the Golden State Warriors. The Chicago Cubs manager Lou [...]

The Chicago Cubs walked their way into relevancy at the 2010 MLB All Star game. Lone Cub representative Marlon Byrd began the seventh inning rally with a free pass. Scott Rolen and Matt Holliday followed with back-to-back singles and Braves catcher Brian McCann capped off the inning with a double off the White Sox reputed [...]

Say what you will about the FIFA World Cup or the sport of soccer, but their fans truly know how to motivate their favorite players and energize a nation. Recently two sexpots have offered their services if their team wins the World Cup.
Paraguayan Lingerie model Larissa Riquelme vowed to run naked through the streets if [...]

Ted Lilly began the season with a terrific 6-inning performance against the Milwaukee Brewers. He allowed zero runs and three hits while walking just two batters and striking out a respectable four. This past weekend he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning against White Sox. His stat line had him throwing eight innings with [...]

Maybe you haven’t heard or been paying attention, but apparently this professional baseball team has been playing games on the North Side of Chicago since April.  I haven’t heard much about it, but after doing some research, it appears these North Side “Cubs” have accumulated a 27-33 record and stand at 3rd place in a [...]

If the only division series the Cubs can win is a one-game make up series for a rained-out game with the Pirates, then I feel pretty confident in calling the season with more than 100 games left to be played. Still, this does not mean there is no reason to visit Wrigley Field. Here are [...]

Something seemed unusual when the Oakland Raiders conducted a reasoned, intelligent draft, selecting based on need rather than speed, even flipping the script and waiting to pick up a work out warrior after he had dropped a round or two. Most outlets gave the organization A’s and B’s for their effort. Many believed that Al [...]

I’m not sure what the guys over at Bleacher Nation were getting at with this goofy movie poster, but it made me laugh so here you go.  Go Cubbies!

The Cubs season has been trying to say the least. It is May and we are already oohing and aahing prospects being brought up to hem the bleeding that has the team in fifth place in the NL Central, behind the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Really, I get a little scared when the season has already boiled down [...]

By Paul M. Banks Founder/President of The Sports Bank.net,
The year 2008 truly solidified my theory: to be a fan of either the Chicago Cubs and University of Illinois football means you know a lot about soul-crushing defeats. You know more than losing, you know exactly what it’s like to have any [...]

So the first month of Chicago Cubs baseball has been less than stellar. We all thought that this team would at least be putting up a fight in the NL Central now that Milton is gone and the team’s sale is no longer a distraction. So when we are playing .500 baseball we are a [...]

When we signed Alfonso Soriano be a Cub for the next century, we were all pretty excited.  Skeptical maybe, but excited to see the Cubs go out and sign such a big talent.  Unfortunately some realities have become apparent a few years into the contract that may not have been so obvious at the time [...]

Frustrated with the Cubbies?  So am I.  Not quite as frustrated as Lou though.  Here’s a clip of his press conference after Wednesday’s 3-2 loss (They lost again last night 13-5 by the way).

The best part is how he asks the reporter “What kind of baseball do you play?” and then stares him down, waiting [...]
