From Bunting to break up a No-Hitter, Showing
up pitchers, and Denying you threw at that batter
... some good takes on some of the rules you won't find in Baseball's Official Rule Book.
Johan Santana pitched amazing, and struckout 17 hitters
in eight total innings.
Last winter ESPN surveyed Hall of Fame voters
and found that only 20.4 percent would have voted

As he approaches career home run #600, Sammy
Sosa is up to his old slippery tactics. His

From "Three-Finger" to Sosa - this collection of
the all-time greatest Cubbie players by team position is
sure to entertain, impress and possibly annoy - but will surely spark many heated debates among devoted fans. Can't say I agree with all the choices, but they certainly did their homework. Lots of pictures and videos, too.
Finally, a Cubs fan makes piece with Sammy
Sosa.
This was supposed to be an issue covering
the 1990s, but it turns out that it just
covers the first five years of that span. I predicted a somewhat different take on this decade, and I was right about that. But I had not expected my excerpting and reflecting on my old scorebooks, to take up so much space. Rather than post a 30-page issue, I'll return to the Nineties in #447. ...
The classic Windy City debate, which franchise is
better? Not just this year, but of all time?
Whatifsports tries to settle the debate by simulating a 7-game series of all-time greats 1,000 times. Ernie Banks, Sosa, Sandberg, Maddux, Mordecai Brown, Sutter against Shoeless Joe, Big Hurt, Robin Ventura, Eddie Collins, Fisk...

Turns out Sammy Sosa wasn't the only Cub
that was using a corked bat in 2003.
Ichiro! With a nod of the cap to
"Nomah".
Sammy Sosa's 600th homer resembled so many that
came before -- except this time the Chicago Cubs
were on the other side. Playing for the Texas Rangers after a year out of baseball, Sosa became the fifth member of the 600-homer club Wednesday night when he connected against his former team.
Sammy Sosa, still without an offer to play
in the major leagues, will retire from baseball after

him. But he really did it to himself.
Towards the end of Bull Durham, Kevin Costner’s
