Interesting, the Cubs fight amongst themselves, and turn into the hottest team in baseball.

So, the Brewers are trying it:

I'm hoping the sequel is never as good as the original.

I was going to watch tapes of the White Sox/Yankees series to get pitching tips...

Here's a stat from yesterday's game that amazes me (not the stat itself, but the fact that someone knows this and has kept track of this): the second inning of yesterday's White Sox/Yankee game, where they both scored 8 runs in each half of the inning, is the highest scoring second inning in major league history.

Ok, carry on.

Nobody "give"? "Nobody" is singular; "give" is plural.

Baseball, obscure trivia, and annoying grammar corrections -- all in one post!!! I hit the trifecta!

This just in.......

Kerry Woods slipped on a Welcome mat entering the Chicago Cubs clubhouse this afternoon, and suffered what was described as a very mild sprain of his left ankle. He was immediately placed on the 730 day DL and is expected to return sometime in August, 2009.

It's true, it's true........

Just heard that the Sox have lost their last 8 games in Seattle, with a bullpen ERA over 6.50. Lester makes his 3rd start, and he's pitched really well in his first two starts. Unfortunately, I'll be asleep by the end of the third inning.

Came across this gem from the late 80s.
