Wish I could feel that good about a #5 pitcher, with an era around 5. But what about Greg's wishes to play some meaningful games in his last, or second to last...
... I regret the loss of Greg Maddux...in 1993. Although I still have great respect and admiration for him as a player and leader, that is not enough to keep...
Speaking of roster moves I hated... Does anyone know off the top of their head the names of the outfielders who were needed so badly that we waived Sarge Jr.?...

But I think I read that internet reports are always correct. I'm pretty sure I read it on the internet. ... Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur [Non-text...
Middle of the seventh... rain delay... Maddux has a no-hitter going. How badly do you think the umpires want the skies to open wide and pour water like hell,...
... Thing is, it technically still wouldn't of been a no-hitter as far as baseball record books go. In 1991 Fay Vincent mandated that a pitcher must pitch a...
... pitcher ... Soch, or Smed, you will know the answer to this one, Frank will too. In 1959 while studying for a final in Income Tax, I was half listening to...

... Thank you. That is the game. I am sure that my listening to it while I studied had no effect on how I did on that final exam. If anything it inspired my...
I find it fascinating to read all of the speculation about Joe Girardi being fired and the possiblity of him coming to the Cubs. When I say "speculation" I...
you really have to admit that Hendry put together a less than mediocre team, and as the season has progressed he did nothing to improve it. Jacque Jones? His...

Real Cubs fans are filling up the seats. After a slow start, Jones has been very good. Nevin was the best hitter that was available at the time. Mabry is a...
In the first inning Clemmons hits Jacque Jones. Even though Jones comes back with a three run homer off Clemmons, rookie Juan Mateo drills Clemmons. I like...
Make that spelling "Clemens". It is a sign of my disrespect for Fat Roger that I didn't bother to learn how to spell his name. He got away with intentionally...
The Cubs traded Neifi Perez to the Tigers. Finally, they get rid of this bum. Ryan Theriot and/or Mike Fontenot are better players and cost a fraction of the...
It does sound like we got a good young player for Neifi. His role was going to be limited anyway since Izturis is a better defensive SS. Perez will be valuable...
