Rejuvenatin' Sammy
— 424tales.blogspot.com — You know it is the baseball off-season when Sammy Sosa's skin color becomes a major topic of conversation. It seems that Sammy showed up at an awards show in Vegas and he had his photo taken with his wife on the way in.  The photos, originally run on SI.com , showed Sammy a good five ...

Towel Drill!!!
— 424tales.blogspot.com — The Cubs announced that Ted Lilly had arthroscopic surgery on his left (throwing) shoulder and that he should be ready in April.

Some Nonsensical Ramblings from the Hot Zone
— 424tales.blogspot.com — I have been laid up with some sort of illness that may or may not have been swine related, but was nonetheless extremely annoying and exhausting.  You know you have no energy when the thought of logging on to a laptop that is sitting five feet away from you seems like an ungodly chore.  ...

Wrigley + Tribune = 1908
— 424tales.blogspot.com — My first memory of the Cubs being sold when I was nine years old was that I thought it was strange that the Tribune Tower was right across the street from the Wrigley Building.  In fact, I remember often not being sure which building was which.

McGwire to Not Talk About the Past On Cards' Bench
— 424tales.blogspot.com — I'm a little late to the party in posting about Mark McGwire joining Tony LaRussa's coaching staff in St. Louis as the hitting instructor, so most of the jokes about juicing the offense and injecting life into the lineup have already been used.  So, I thought I would take a look around the ...

There is No Way the Yankees Can Lose, Right?
— 424tales.blogspot.com — I've been talking to a few Yankee fans about how Game 5 went, and if they might be a little worried that the Yankees missed an opportunity to close out the Angels in their ALCS matchup. The answer I get back is invariably, no, we're not worried about it.  Afterall, the Yankees are coming ... (more) There is No Way the Yankees Can Lose, Right?

Kaplan Explains How to be Classy
— 424tales.blogspot.com — My Sunday was spent watching some football, keeping an eye on my fantasy teams, and getting ready for the big Bears/Atlanta game in the evening.  My thoughts about David Kaplan and our stupid little argument about Rudy Jaramillo's qualifications was fading into the background.  I was ...

Dave Kaplan Thinks I'm Stupid
— 424tales.blogspot.com — So the other day I went to Dave Kaplan's blog and read his take on Rudy Jaramillo potentially/probably coming to the Cubs: "GM Jim Hendry has been super aggressive since Jaramillo made it known that he would be leaving the Rangers and most baseball executives expect Jaramillo to choose the ...

Guesses, Assumptions, and Some Actual Facts About PSLs
— 424tales.blogspot.com — The Cubs' bankruptcy process appears to be turning around faster than Kosuke Fukudome swinging at a breaking ball in the dirt, so the TRANSFER of control of the Cubs from the Tribune is nearing completion.  This process has been a wonderful learning experience for many of us about the ...
