Unless you have been living under a rock for the 2009 MLB season, you know that the Chicago Cubs have failed miserably to live up to expectations. If you ARE living under that rock, you have probably still heard Milton Bradley’s constant complaining and overall bad attitude that has done anything but help the team’s situation.
Bradley signed a three year, $30 million deal this off-season after completing one of the best seasons of his ten year career in Texas the season before. The switch-hitter batted .321, got on base at a career-best .421 clip, hit 22 home runs, and drove ...
Even I, a die-hard Brewers fan, have to admit that I had a hard time watching Kevin Gregg’s last performance on Monday against the Padres. Sitting with three Cubs fans and watching Gregg give up the game-tying and game-winning runs was just too much to bear, so I decided to look ahead and give the North Siders some hope for next year.
Gregg is set to become a free agent, and the only way I can see the Cubs re-signing him is if he stays in the closer role and the Cubs make the playoffs. Even then, it will be a ...

7:10: I have to say it was pretty cool watching President Obama talk to all of the players in the clubhouse. Pretty amazing when you think of the spectrum all of those guys are on. Players are being introduced right now. Biggest cheer of the night easily goes to Pujols, while ...
As I sat at my computer anxiously awaiting Charlie Manuel's decisions on this year's National League pitching staff, I wondered whether or not the Phillies' skipper thought Josh Johnson would make the team.
Would Javier Vazquez sneak in? Who would he choose as the last relief pitcher? One wonder that I did not think I had to consider was whether or not Yovani Gallardo, Milwaukee's ace, would be on this year's team.
After all, he has one of the most impressive resumes of any pitcher in the National League, has his team in first place, and has done it all under the ...
