chicago cubs

I can recall a number of things from my childhood, growing up as an avid sports fan, notably for the New York Yankees. I remember "The Flip Play" by Derek Jeter in the 2001 MLB Playoffs against Oakland, the Yankee Stadium heroics during the 2001 World Series Scott Brosius hitting a big homer off Trevor Hoffman in Game 3 the 1998 World Series against the San Diego Padres and Carl Everett

After this season, the Yankees have a decision to make in terms of Phil Hughes, the guy once designated for pinstripe greatness and ace-type status.  Hughes' contract (third year, arbitration eligible, one-year, $7.15 million) is up this year.  Here are the three options for the Yanks as far as Hughes goes after 2013:

When the Chicago Cubs signed Cuban outfielder Jorge Soler to a $30 million contract last year, they knew he'd be dangerous with a bat in his hands. They didn't realize how right they were.

Adam Greenberg is a baseball player and he fulfilled his dream back in 2005 when he got his first shot in the big leagues. Sadly though, Greenberg's dream became his nightmare when in his first at bat for the Chicago Cubs, on the first pitch thrown his way by Florida Marlins pitcher Valerio Del Los Santos, he was hit in the head and knocked out of the game and the major leagues...

A man named Tom Willis was born with no arms.  He recently threw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs' game.

Matt Holliday hit an absolute moon shot off of Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Ryan Dempster on Friday night.

America’s pastime — the yawn-enducing sport of baseball —  has finally figured out a way to make the batting lineup announcements anything but horribly dreadful. Recently, comedians Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis were present at a Chicago Cubs home game, where they not only hilariously delivered the team’s introductions, but also tossed out some pitches.

A stunner, folks. "Journalists" were wrong again. I use emphasis on "journalists" because frankly, they don't exist. No such thing. Save for maybe 5% of the so-called "journalists", the rest are hacks, liars and those that want the protection of the word journalist- but really are no different than you or I...

Any baseball fan will be happy to see Magic Johnson in the game. The Magic smile and magnetic personality are just as welcome as the bankroll. We will see, after prices are adjusted to help the new owners pay for their investment, how happy Dodgers fans are...

The New York Yankees have yet to make a big move this offseason and were looking at Cubs pitcher Matt Garza, but apparently the asking price is a bit to high.

How would you like to be Dale Sveum. Published reports have him as the front runner for both the managerial jobs of the Redsox and the Cubs so let's roll with that and believe that's true. Which job do you take if you are Sveum? For me the decision is easy-a no brainer...

The news that Mike Quade is out of a job as the manager of the Chicago Cubs was not entirely unexpected after a record of 95-104 since taking over for Lou Piniella in August of 2010. Official word of Quade’s firing came down Wednesday. While Quade is out, many are surprised that Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg — who was up for the position last year before Quade won it — won’t be considered to replace h
