| Manny Ramirez or Alfonso Soriano |
| 2008-10-17 08:00:42 |
If you were given the option right now to take Alfonso Soriano and his contract for the next 6 years or Manny Ramirez at his price for the next 6 years, which would you want? Why?
For me, it’s got to be Soriano for the simple reason that Manny is too much of a head case. [...]...

| ID this old Cub Autograph |
| 2008-10-14 06:20:00 |
A reader asked me to help with this awhile back and I completely forgot until now. Please help him ID this autographed ball. The bottom one is Paul Assenmacher, but who is the top one?
Also, don’t forget to listen to the most recent episode of The Pitch. We know this: The 2008 postseason won�??t be [...]...

| One Heck of a Year |
| 2008-10-13 10:39:49 |
As many of you know, I still play baseball. In fact, Jose and I play in the same league, on a National level.
This year, was nothing like the Cubs’ year, as our mighty Lobos struggled through the regular season, myself included. We managed to win our play-in game to get into [...]...

| It Happened |
| 2008-10-10 23:10:10 |
The weather was beautiful Thursday afternoon so I took the motorcycle out for a spin. I was kind of in the neighborhood so I decided to head over to Wrigley Field to check out the vibe.
I was northbound on Clark St. and caught a red light at Addison, which gave me time to admire [...]...

| The Big Plan |
| 2008-10-10 09:54:38 |
Let me start by saying this.
The 2008 Chicago Cubs team was very, very good. This team was one of the best Cubs teams in recent history, with a very good balanced offense, a good balanced pitching staff, and a good defense. They finished with the following National League rankings:
BA: 2nd
OBP: 1st
SLUG: [...]...

| Shame on me… |
| 2008-10-09 11:21:09 |
Why we need to do something…maybe even big:
The old saying goes “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me” though President Bush butchered it when he tried to use it. The gist being that when something catches you off guard twice then you have to look at yourself to blame. The sad [...]...

| Fool me once… |
| 2008-10-09 09:02:26 |
I will be writing a longer post about off season plans for next year in about an hour. However, I want to throw out a few questions to get things started this morning. Is this team still, even with the potential losses of Ryan Dempster and Kerry Wood and others, the best team by far [...]...

| Let It Roll or Matt’s Crazy Off Season Plan |
| 2008-10-08 04:00:50 |
The Chicago Tribune had a poll up Sunday asking which Cubs collapse broke your heart the most. Honestly, I’d have to rank it, and this is only in my lifetime, the 2003 team, the 1984 team, and then this 2008 team. After the 2003 meltdown, I was literally numb for about two weeks. Mountain Dew wasn’t as sweet, [...]...

| Morning Cuppa Joe: Carlos Marmol Injured |
| 2008-10-07 23:01:00 |
Carlos Marmol was injured in a car accident in the Dominican Republic (Source) - “Out of precaution they did different studies on my body, and I don’t have any kind of serious injury” Do you think that involved any kind of test on his shoulder after Lou pitched his arm off? I’m curious to see [...]...
