Boxing Match

Well, Michael Barrett over the weekend sucker punched AJ Pierzynski in the face, uniting the whole Cubs team and completely turning our season around. Right? Not so much. It was an overreaction on Barrett’s part, and he should clearly be suspended, thereby removing one of the only solid hitters on the Cubs and replacing him …

I Knew It!!

Would only be a matter of time before we got to hear the Cubs management or press say “We’re not out of it yet, just look at what happened with the Astros last year.”  This time it was Carrie Muskat who said it.  I used to really like Carrie, but she has totally turned into …

The Tourney Begins

… and I couldn’t be more excited. I may have mentioned this last year, but it especially occurred to me last year that March Madness really is the greatest sporting event to watch. It really is. It has more action than 24 and more drama than any courtroom show out there, and so much pride …

Quick Bears Thought

Jerry Angelo, get off your ass!!!
