According to Bruce Levine on ESPN 1000 ,
the Cubs are working on signing lefty reliever John
Grabow to a multi-year deal worth between $6.5 million and $7.5 million. Agent Paul Kinzer represents Grabow, who would be the team's left-handed set-up man and a possible back-up closer in the event ...

Hangovers...proof that there is a God, and he
hates fun. The only foolproof way to prevent a
hangover is to not drink in the first place. But "abstinence only" approaches are hardly realistic, and certainly aren't enjoyable. There are thousands of folk remedies out there. Some work better than ...

Some assorted thoughts on this fine Thursday: Through
a combination of extremely bad planning and wretched tiredness,
I missed the World Series opener. However, I guessed the outcome solely by noticing the lack of psychotically pro-Yankee facebook status updates from friends of mine who have no ...

Here at the saloon, I'm known as the
bartender most knowledgeable about horror movies. I'm sure this
is unrelated to me being also known as: 1) the only bartender without a wife/girlfriend, 2) the bartender who has been unemployed the longest, and 3) the bartender with the most serious drinking ...

Word on the street (aka. the sexy, swinging
offices of ESPN) is that Tony LaRussa will indeed
return as the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2010. The catch? Hal McRae, Cardinals hitting coach, has been fired. Replacing him? None other than Mr. Andro himself, Mark McGwire. I mean, when a ...

Well, yesterday was Wednesday, so that can mean
only one thing: time for the Cubs to hire
a new hitting coach. We could see it coming. Anemic bats and a lackluster offence piss a fan base off to no end, so Jim Hendry did the one thing a good GM does to revive flagging run production: through a ...

The Bears lost to the Falcons last night.
I'm still trying to come to terms with this.
Since each football team only plays 16 games in the regular season, my quick math skills tell me I should feel roughly 10x angrier at a Bears loss than a Cubs loss. Judging from the nausea I felt after the ...

There's a saying that a bye week always
seems to come around when your team needs it
the most. For the Bears, I couldn't agree more. Week five might seem like it's early but don't forget that these guys have been hitting since the middle of August. With injuries starting to pile up, this could ...

Last night a friend and I were having
a nice dinner before going to see a Yo
La Tengo show (excellent performance btw, check them out on You Tube if you get a chance). Discussing how our days went, she had brought up that she was having a business lunch with one of her clients and a couple ...

Has it really been over three weeks since
I last spoke on that most glorious of music
years, 1979? A quick look at the calendar says yes. But a quick look into my heart says I never really left. 1 And so, as promised back in the mythical era of late September, I now return to the Promised Land ...

Over the past few days, Bears fans have
been buzzing about the possibility of acquiring Terrell Owens
from the Bills before the NFL's October 20th trade deadline. For the most part, this has been nothing more than fan speculation. If it weren't a slow sports week, these rumors would have died ...

In case you missed it, (and judging from
the general apathy towards hockey in this country, you
probably did) the Blackhawks tied an NHL record for biggest comeback when they beat the Calgary Flames in overtime on Monday. Calgary scored 5 goals before the first period was barely past the ...

Put three influential axemen in a room and

Jim Hendry. His name alone feels me with
mixed feelings, not to mention a craving for Krispey
Kremes. One could argue that the Cubs have enjoyed one of their most successful runs during the Hendry years. One could also argue that some of Hendry's moves have hamstrung the team as well. If you ...

With the name Saloon included in our moniker,
one could surmise that we here at TMS like
to drinky drinky. One that would make such an assumption would be correct, thereby throwing out the whole, 'when you assume you make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me' bullshit. We also like to plagiarize each ...
