Rosenbloom on the Cubs as they stand with just a handful of games left in 2012: The current bunch died at the trading deadline. After going 19-10 in July -- I believe Cooperstown asked for that calendar page -- the Cubs have gone 4-18 in their last 22. They’ve hit a robust .213 in that … Continue reading Wait ’til 2015?
Yeah, that really happened
The most disturbing thing I've read on the internet today: Harrelson is in his 28th season as a Sox broadcaster, serving since 1982 except for 1986 when he was the teams general manager. via Hawk Harrelson gets an earful from Bud Selig for tirade - Chicago Sun-Times. <shudder>

Ryno on The Simpsons?

Wood
Very excited to hear that Kerry Wood is coming back to the Cubs. Here's hoping this one-year deal turns into something long-term.

The man passed never having seen a Cubs World Series championship and never having gotten his much-deserved induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. If he was a believer in Christ Jesus as his savior, though, he's finally in the one club that matters. During the … Continue reading Ronnie
