Pie to Have Testicular Surgery

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 01:04:03 +1900

Just a day after it looked like Felix Pie had the center field job locked up for the Cubs, he's about to undergo testicular surgery. Yeah, that doesn't sound comfortable to me either.

Would Your GM Do This?

Thu, 7 Feb 2008 17:12:32 +1800

I've been going back and forth on this Shaq to Phoenix trade and it's driving me crazy. One minute it looks OK, the next minute it looks horrendous....it's kind of beginning to bother me since I really don't follow the Suns and probably shouldn't care as to what's going on with their team

The Cavalier is going Philly on YAYsports!

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 20:07:53 +1800

Okay…we’re done with leg one of our December journey. What this means is we’ve been able to read back through the past week or so, and even made sure we set aside time to have one of those “look in the mirror and wonder what you’ve done” moments. We’re not going to sit here and call people out publically, but let’s go ahead and allude to a ...

Sampson Fired?????

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 05:14:20 +1800

First things first......this post is completely speculative. I'm not here to give Kirk Herbstreit type scoops that are completely inaccurate and say they are the word of God himself, only to play them off until I can not possibly defend myself any longer. However, if this is true.....it is very big news, Godzirra like news. If it is not true, our lives will continue on as normal. I heard

Ankle sprain...why do you hurt me so?

One of the big concerns however was what in the hell is a "high ankle sprain," and I will address this too...so sit back, enjoy the ride and come with me as we enter the world of the lower leg and foot... If you have ever participated in an athletic

Colts beat the SH!T out of Baltimore.

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 17:47:49 +1800

At first glance, I wasn't sure what was happening. The Baltimore squad seemed game enough in their front 7, which played the run intelligently and tackled swiftly and with authority. But then Manning throws a strike against a young secondary (McAllister and Rolle are injured) and we blow up for a big touchdown. Then the Colts' D comes up with a big pick-6 and it seems like

Cubs Going After Brian Roberts

Thu, 6 Dec 2007 12:42:41 +1800

The Cubs are in talks with the Baltimore Orioles to bring 2b Brian Roberts to Wrigley Field next season. Roberts, a switch hitting speedster, bats lead-off and plays a pretty good second base defensively. Trading for Roberts would give the Cubs another left handed bat in the lineup and allow them to move OF Alfonso Soriano down in the lineup. Roberts would also allow the Cubs to move Mark ...

Signing Fukudome is the Wrong Move

Wed, 5 Dec 2007 16:53:13 +1800

Apparently the #1 name on GM Jim Hendry's wish list this off-season is indeed, Kosuke Fukudome ....it hurts me just to write that. They'll sign this guy, have a big press conference for him, probably throw him in at the Cubs Convention and somehow convince everyone that this is a great deal for the Cubs. But it's not.

Diamondbacks Look at Interesting First Base Option

Wed, 5 Dec 2007 16:48:59 +1800

The Arizona Diamondbacks are following an interesting train of thought when it comes to who will platoon at first base next season with Conor Jackson....pitcher Micah Owings, who the Cubs drafted in 2004 but he went back to school, could see some time at first base

Much like Houston saved the Cubs , Washington has gone and saved Oakland. What a wonderful baseball winter so far! I just heard a report that the New York Mets have traded outfield prospect Lastings Milledge to the Washington Nationals for outfielder Ryan Church and catcher Brian Schneider

Would This Scare You? When Jack Nicholson Attacks

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 17:55:53 +1800

So you are sitting on the bench minding your own business after your coach has pulled you from the game. Maybe you are watching the game, trying to figure out how the other team is being so successful and what you can do to change that. Maybe you are watching the cheerleaders perform their routines. Maybe you are checking out the hot blonde in the second row in the hopes that you'll make

Earning my stripes

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:07:30 +1900

Who is better, Manning or Brady? Its a question that really doesn't need an answer. These guys are both great, will both be remembered as two of the best if not the two best. How can a fella say one is better than the other? Both are great leaders with great work ethic. People love one guy because he is all clean cut and nice to kids and....

Is Dusty Baker Breaking Rules Already?

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 17:54:22 +1900

As we all know from the Alex Rodriguez situation, teams can not talk to pending free agents until they are actually free agents. Has Dusty Baker decided to not pay attention to that rule like he used to ignore pitch counts?

Looks Like Thomas To Start at Power Forward for Bulls

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 12:42:46 +1900

For all of you that are following the ongoing 'who will start for the Bulls' saga this pre-season, it looks like Tyrus Thomas is going to get the nod . If Scott Skiles is serious about wanting to start his season-opening lineup in Thursday's final exhibition against the Bucks, here is the first unit for Oct. 31 in New Jersey: Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordon at guard, Luol Deng and Tyrus Thomas ...

Is Skiles Doing It Again?

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:50:02 +1900

At the beginning of the 2004-2005 NBA Season the Bulls had Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon and Chris Duhon on the depth chart in their backcourt. All three players had recently been drafted and all had certain expectations coming into the league. Hinrich was going to be the floor leader who lead the Bulls to victory. Gordon was going to be the scorer the Bulls lacked since Michael Jordan retired ...

Josh Beckett Fears No Man

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 13:56:35 +1900

It was 2003 when I came to realize that Josh Beckett wasn't a normal major leaguer. At the time he was a young, good pitcher who had some issues with blisters. He had a lot of talent and an aggressive nature, but he never seemed able to put it all together for an extended period of time because of blisters and/or immaturity.....and then he went out and pretty much carried the Marlins to ...

Should the Bulls Trade for Kobe?

Just when you think everything is all packed up and ready to go in the NBA, this happens . There are rumors flying around about whether or not Kobe Bryant cleaned out his locker the other day and whether or not he will be traded before the regular season starts. Drama. Since the Bulls seem to be Kobe's preferred landing spot, people are throwing out prospective trades that might, or might ...

Cubs Off-Season Questions - Carlos Zambrano/Ted Lilly Pitch Counts for '08?

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 13:49:18 +1900

Over the past few seasons Cubs fans have come to know just how important healthy starting pitchers are to the success of a team. If you look at the playoff teams of '84, '89, '98, '03 and '07 you see starting staffs with very few injuries and a lot of consistency. Unfortunately, the following season after those playoff runs the starting pitching staffs took a collective crap....mostly because ...

Cubs Off-Season Questions - Is Felix Pie the Center Fielder for '08?

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 13:04:56 +1900

If baseball was only about defense then Pie would already be a star. He has above average skills for an outfielder with his range, throwing arm and the routes he runs. Since he is so young (22), there are times when his lack of experience catches up with him, but he is already an above average major league outfielder. Baseball isn't only about defense though and that has been proven by Pie's lack
