The 2011 Cubs are the 2010-11 Chicago Bears

The 2011 Cubs are the 2010-11 Chicago Bears
I am not saying that the Cubs will make the playoffs. I am not claiming that the Cubs will be a winning team during the upcoming season. I am most certainly not claiming that the Cubs will lose the NL Championship to the Green Bay Packers. What I am saying is that this team can... Read more »

Carlos Marmol: The Devin Hester of the Chicago Cubs signs a new 3-year contract

Carlos Marmol: The Devin Hester of the Chicago Cubs signs a new 3-year contract
With pitchers and cathers reporting to the Cubs’ camp in Mesa, Arizona yesterday, the long wait inbetween baseball seasons is rapidly closing. The team has been fairly active during the offseason; bringing back Kerry Wood to sure-up the bullpen, and adding former Tampa Bay teammates Matt Garza (starting pitcher) and Carlos Pena (first base) to the...

The Chicago Cubs 2010: Let's Root for Early Disaster!

Chicago Cubs Ruin Blackhawks 2010 Season

That’s right. Instead of getting on the Hawks about looking like crap essentially since the Olympic break, and especially for losing two consecutive games to the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets, I have found a therapeutic outlet for any suicidal or homicidal thoughts that may have been entering my head: BLAME THE CUBS INSTEAD.

Spring Training Baseball sucks worse than Olympic Hockey

Recently I complained about the entertaining, yet somewhat disappointing, stint of Olympic Hockey. While I did stress that overall I enjoyed watching the Olympic ice battles, and that I simply would have prefered an NHL All-Star break and game, I found emotional investment in the bouts to be rather unfruitful. That being said, there may... Read more »
