Reports in Chicago are that Chicago Cubs left fielder Alfonso Soriano will have an MRI on his ailing knee on Saturday.
There have been whispers all season that Soriano's knee was an issue, but he has refused to deal with the issue because of other injury issues on the team. Now it appears the discomfort he's feeling is significant enough that he's going to have the knee examined.
Cubs' Manager Lou Piniella had indicated that some of the problems Soriano has had in left field this year defensively have been a result of the knee issues. Unfortunately for Soriano, unless his knee has ...
On Thursday afternoon, the significant news on the waiver wire in Major League Baseball was that claims had been made on the Brewers' Trevor Hoffman and the Cubs' Aaron Heilman and Rich Harden.
While Heilman is garbage and Hoffman wasn't likely to leave Milwaukee, the thought of Harden leaving Chicago sparked instant debate. With the right-hander's contract expiring in five weeks, the temptation for the Cubs to acquire depth for their farm system would have to be strong.
There was a lot of speculation about which team made the claim on Harden, with the Minnesota Twins eventually being identified as the team ...
Is Milton Bradley a jerk? Well, it's probably safe to say that not many baseball (especially Cubs) fans would invite him to be a FriendFace buddy.
But back to the question—yes, Bradley is a jerk. Big time.
However, anyone who has watched or heard of his odd moods and violent behavior should be asking, "What in the hell would drive someone to be such a lunatic?"
For a psychiatrist or any student who has paid attention through an abnormal psychology course, the diagnosis is glaringly obvious.
Bradley has all the symptoms of a Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
Yes, that does sound like a lame excuse...and ...
Ever knew the guy in high school who had all the talent, all the girls, and scholarships from all corners of the country, yet he blows it by doing something stupid?
In high school, I remember a couple of those guys, one was a guy by the name of Gary DeBerry, who at last check was working in the Wal-Mart in Whitehaven on Highway 51 and Holmes Road, who had God-given talent but screwed it up by being a douchebag.
Maybe Milton Bradley was one of those guys in high school that had an inferiority complex because he shared his name with ...
It's a sad truth, but inordinate fascination with oneself is hardly reason to single out a professional athlete or high-paid coach. You could make a pretty safe argument that egocentricity has become the rule rather than the exception amongst those two groups.
Nevertheless, individuals come and go who distinguish themselves even from the swell-headed pack. Sometimes, a dynamic duo wrangled for the self-love spotlight.
Thanks to Milton Bradley and Rick Pitino, we have such a scenario on our hands.
Though, in truth, it's not much of a fight—the Louisville Cardinals' head coach has Uncle Miltie walloped since his transgression is far worse and ...
Someone, somewhere, placed a waiver claim on Chicago Cubs starter Rich Harden today.
Who could it be?
There are so many teams involved in the pennant chases in both leagues right now (the Cubs not being among them) that there are lots of options for a potential landing spot for Harden.
Let's take a look at six options, three from each league, for Harden to land with and what they might give up to acquire the starter for five weeks.Begin Slideshow
“I’m talking about hatred, period. I’m talking about when I go to eat at a restaurant. I’ve got to listen to the waiters badmouthing me at another table, sitting in a restaurant. That’s what I’m talking about. Everything.”
You are a tool, Milton Bradley. Fans aren't booing you because you are black; they are booing you because you are BAD. And not bad as in "baaaaad," but bad as in you suck.
Sure, you're starting to hit now, but it's too little, too late.
When you combine the lousy first half of the season with his crazy antics and his vitriol toward fans, ...
In news that can be described as nothing short of depressing to those of us with common sense and eyes that can see, a team claimed Aaron Heilman off waivers from the Chicago Cubs.
What makes that news depressing to those of us who can see and think is that the claim means someone wants Heilman on their baseball team, and that person is getting paid a lot of money to be a general manager.
Where do I sign up to replace that moron?
Heilman, who the Mets shipped out of town last winter on the first and fastest vehicle leaving New York, ...

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is reporting that Chicago Cubs pitchers Rich Harden and Aaron Heilman have been claim off of waivers by a National League team.
Placing players on waivers is not a strange occurrence in baseball, but it is interesting that both players might have been claimed by the same team.
Rich Harden has pitched very well as of late and would seemingly have very high value. Heilman, on the other hand, would seem to have little if any value to a contending team as he has been a blown save machine with the Cubs.
Teams who might have put ...
