The National League MVP Award should come down to 2 players, Javy Baez and Christian Yelich. Oh, I’m sure the jackasses in St. Louis are going to vote for Matt Carpenter, but realistically its Baez vs Yelich. So who ya got? Let’s look at the tale of the tape and see which man was truly the MVP Christian Yelich. Yelich came …

Hard to believe it was 15 years ago today that the infamous “Bartman game” was played. We all remember it. We all know where we were at the time. I remember it like it was yesterday. A lot of Cubs fans I know still blame Steve Bartman for the Cubs not winning their first pennant since 1945 that day. Of …

Welp! So that happened. I’m not going to spend a lot of time talking about the end of the Cubs season. We all saw it. I know we all have varying opinions on it. A lot of people want to throw around blame. I’m not into that personally. I will say that as disappointing as it was, it still beats …

I’ve been hearing a lot of crying around baseball, and it’s time to stop. Stop it right now. You are in the position you’re in because you put yourself there. This includes the Cubs. They could have had this division wrapped up by now. Here are a few of the things, not only about the Cubs, but around baseball and …

That’s right. I said it. Crazy Joe should be the Manager of the year. What’s that? You say Maddon is overrated? He’s cost the Cubs games with his decisions? You want him fired? Well, as they say, everyone is entitled to their opinion. As I say, your opinion is wrong. Let’s think about this for a minute. Before the season …

I knew it as soon as it happened. I knew the pouncers would be ready to kill Joe Maddon for the Pedro Strop injury. In case you live in a cave and don’t know, Pedro Strop is out for the remainder of the regular season with a hamstring injury. He hurt himself running to first in the 10th inning of …

I know I have addressed this topic before, but clearly from the things I see on social media, hear on talk radio, and even conversations with my own friends, it needs to be repeated. Consider this an open letter to all of you armchair quarterbacks and couch managers out there. No, you are not smarter than Joe Maddon. I actually saw …

Whether you like President Donald Trump or you hate him, you have to acknowledge that he is relevant. He may not have coined the phrase “fake news”, but when you see it or hear it, you have to admit you think of him. Without getting too political, in my opinion, fake news is whatever President Trump doesn’t like. That doesn’t …

There have been many surprises, good and bad, in this roller coaster of a 2018 season on the north side of Chicago. One of the bad ones was the struggles of Kyle Hendricks. The Professor was slated in as the #2 starter, and why not? Two seasons ago he had a sub 3 ERA, and really made his mark in …

Four aces. Great poker hand. An ace represents 1 in a standard deck of playing cards. In some games it can be the highest card, in some the lowest. Unfortunately the Cubs drew four aces this past weekend in Pittsburgh. And by that I mean they managed to score 1 run in 4 consecutive games. Obviously, this isn’t the hand …
