I may be in the minority here, but I will always appreciate everything Sammy did for the Cubs and will cherish the bunny hop after hitting another homer. He...
Jim Hendry was a guest of Mike North on WSCR radio this morning in Chicago. Nothing shocking. Among his comments: 1) He is not ready to assign outfield...

Gary, Thanks much for filling us in on Hendry's comments from the Score. I don't believe Marquis will give us many quality innings this season. But I do...

Sounds like a little too many maybes there. But hope springs eternal and I, for one, will be hoping Hill will come through big time and another pitcher deal...
I don't like the pitching staff after Zambrano. Hill has had just part of a good year and still is a question mark as a regular. Proir is as good as is health,...
I actually think you should add Aramis Ramirez to the list of players with good plate discipline. He only struck out 63 times in 594 official appearances last...
I see this as a very good team, actually. Certainly good enough to challenge for the division title. I like the pitching staff, especially the bullpen. I...

Bob, I couldn't agree with you more regarding our pitching staff. We still need at least one more quality starter even if Wade Miller stays healthy. I am not...

Debbie, I feel the Cards will be weaker than they were last season. I think our division in general will be a weak division and that it won't take many wins...
