April baseball is over and storylines are emerging.
Among these, Florida Marlins sit atop the National League
East; the Chicago Cubs, on the brink of their 100th seasons without a World Series, are looking poised to make a run; and the Colorado Rockies are looking lost despite winning the NL pennant in 2007. Here are ten things to look for in May.

Ryan Dempster ''likes'' both starting and closing, but
the change in roles clearly has been to his
liking even more.
Ever since there was discussion of the State
of Illinois purchasing historic Wrigley Field from the Tribune
Co. and renovating it, the question has been, “How would the State fund the renovation?” As we outlined yesterday, the Cubs (ergo, Tribune) see a complex deal with several moving funding parts (read Kenney Outlines Funding for Wrigley Field, Renovation ). One thing that ..

Ted Lilly (P), Chicago Cubs, seems to have
turned it around. Breaking down some of his last
2 starts and starts from earlier in the year he really has changed his approach recently with great effects. Looking at his Pitch F/X data from MLB, his release point and command have improved greatly. Also his other stats such as QuickERA and BABIP also show that his stat line could be much better.
Just before Ted Lilly stroked his RBI single
up the middle, I said to Howard, "Man, he
has about the worst swing I've ever seen." Howard agreed. Lilly had fouled a couple of balls off and flailed rather wildly at the pitches, looking like he had ...
Matt Wieters homered twice tonight, drove in three
runs and scored three more for Single-A Frederick, He
has an eight-game hitting streak.I still don't see him rising above Double-A Bowie this year, but the temptation to reward him with a ...
The long-range plans are evolving for the Cubs'
pitching staff, and they include left-hander Sean Marshall joining
lefty Rich Hill and right-hander Kevin Hart as starters on the horizon.
Crane Kenney, the Chairman of the Chicago Cubs
outlined how the sale of Wrigley Field and its
renovations would be paid for. Speaking in an interview on WSCR-AM670, Kennedy outlined the complex structure being proposed by which the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority would purchase Wrigley separately from the Cubs and other baseball related assets that the Tribune Co. currently owns. The ...
Foley was promoted to the big-league Cubs for
the 1994 season but was let go after a
disappointing, strike-shortened season, which the Cubs went 49-64 in. So in 1995, Foley, given his success at the Triple-A level, was hired by the Baltimore Orioles to manage their affiliate in Rochester.
I thought the Cubs had picked some random
woman out of a bar to sing the National
Anthem. They may as well have.
Not only is Joey Votto adorable, he can
also hit bombs.

Cubs probable pitcher Ted Lilly Cubs: Lilly isn't
worried about his arm strength after his last outing.
The lefty seems to be picking up velocity, and he has confidence that he can get batters out without throwing hard. In his last start, a 9-3 win ...

It's over. Done. Finished. Stick the proverbial fork

Gordon Wittenmyer: What would you trade for Brian

We all know if you're a Mets fan
you hate the Phillies. Well That got me to
thinking. Do you dislike the Phillies fans, or just the Phillies? As for me I just dislike the Phillies. In a lot of ways Phillies fans are just like Mets fans accept for rooting for the Phillies. I mean Phillies fans are just as critical and hard on their team as Mets fans are. Any player ...
The sale of the Chicago Cubs will move
beyond pure discussion when Sam Zell and the Tribune
Co. deliver the financial “book” to the six prospective bidding groups sometime this week. The “book” is a financial assessment of all the holdings being sold by Tribune in association with the storied franchise, including the team, Wrigley Field, Comcast SportsNet Chicago, and ...
Big Winners: Edinson Volquez, Joey Votto, and the
Cincinnati Reds: Votto had his best game as a
major leaguer after belting 3 of the Reds 7 homeruns against the Cubs, and Volquez improved to 5-1 with a miniscule 1.06 ERA, and leads all of baseball with 52 strikeouts. Dusty Baker could also be called a big winner as his club took 2 of 3 from the team that most recently fired him.......
Overpaid veterans? Check. No real help in the
minors? Check. Revolving door on the bench? Check. Brainwashed
fans convince next year is the year? Check. Firing Paul Maurice wasn't the answer. Buying a keg of dynamite would be a more sound decision.
Joey Votto hit three home runs yesterday in
Cincinnati’s 9-0 win over the Chicago Cubs.
CINCINNATI -- Derrek Lee is looking in the
mirror when it comes to what went wrong on
the Cubs' 2-4 trip to St. Louis and Cincinnati. But it's a group picture that's staring back out.
And the White Sox thought they needed slump-busting
help. The way the Cubs are going now, the
most strategic place they're placing any bats is the bat rack. And if you think the hitters aren't getting it done, you should see some of the pitching ...
