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!

Spring training is coming to a close, and although we haven’t been covering it in detail this year, suffice it to say that I’m excited as hell for the season to begin.  A new year, new hopes, and new delusions of grandeur.  March is historically a great month to be a Cubs fan.  Until Derrek [...]

I don’t even know what to say about this, I guess I just felt the need to share the sad sad state of affairs.  As the Cubs try to go 7-3 down the stretch to avoid a sub-.500 decade (h/t: @NearlyNextYear), things just continue to unravel.  Derrek Lee scored the game-tying run ahead of Jeff [...]

All things considered, the Cubs are lucky to have the record they do going into the All-Star break, but how have individual players and parts on this team rate so far?  Here’s a take on their performance thus far by position.
1st Base (Derrek Lee, Micah Hoffpauir): Derrek Lee started slow but has come on extremely [...]

I remember a guy named Derrek Lee.  From 2001-2003, he averaged about 26 home runs, 35 doubles and 80 walks a season, while winning a Gold Glove at first base in 2003.  He was just on the cusp of being a perennial all-star.  The Cubs at the time had a young Korean with a lot [...]

I have been busy as hell with studying for the Bar lately, so I haven’t had a whole lot of time to comment on the Cubs current situation.  It’s not that the 8-game losing streak isn’t a big deal, but how they’ve lost has been painful to watch.  Here are a few thoughts regarding the [...]

Jake Peavy says no to the White Sox.  How embarassing. [Smells Like Mascot]
As embarassing as a 20-0 loss?  I don’t know for sure, but the Sox had a BAD day yesterday. [Deadspin]
The Bulls have a new GM, sort of, even though Pax is still kind of running things.  Either way, the new guy wants to [...]

Big Baby Davis pushes a little kid after his game winner.  The Celtics are such bitches. [Docksquad]
The Cubs finally won one yesterday.  Finally something went right. [Sun-Times]
So at first they said he would be okay, then they said 4-6 weeks, but now it looks like Ramirez is going to miss about 2 months.  Oh and [...]

The Cubs beat the A’s 20-5 yesterday in spring training.  Paul Bako had four hits and three RBIs even though he entered the game in the sixth inning.  Clutch! [Sun-Times]
This is always fun.  The Wonderlic scores got leaked again this year, so we get to know who is smart and who won the Vince Young [...]
