April baseball is over and storylines are emerging.
Among these, Florida Marlins sit atop the National League

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.

up the middle, I said to Howard, "Man, he

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.

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.
