Cubs and Sox Fans Mutually Exclusive?

By

By Sam Svoboda Before I even begin, I'd just like to say that I fully expect to catch some flak for this- too many people have their opinions on the Cubs and the Sox and refuse to even think about modifying them. But with the "Crosstown Classic" again this weekend, it's a perfect time to examine the possibility that maybe, just maybe, the city's two baseball teams are not … [Read more...] about Cubs and Sox Fans Mutually Exclusive?

Cubs-White Sox Exchange Part Deux: Weather Will Be Better!

By

By The Soxman and Paul Schmidt (Paul Schmidt) – It’s time for round two! The Red Line series shifts south to U.S. Cellular Field, where this Friday, Saturday and Sunday the Cubs and Sox will once again take each other on in a battle for city supremacy. Now, that really sounds like I’m fired up about these games, doesn’t it? However I’ve always, as a Cub fan, felt like … [Read more...] about Cubs-White Sox Exchange Part Deux: Weather Will Be Better!

Cubs-White Sox Exchange: Apathy Reigns!

By

By Paul M. Banks and David Kay (PMB)What a difference a year makes! Last season around this time, both Chicago teams were in first place and the Crosstown Classic actually came remotely close to living up to the absurd hype that accompanies it each year. It was so important that we actually ran two exchanges for each series, and broke comment records on all of them. (Those … [Read more...] about Cubs-White Sox Exchange: Apathy Reigns!

We Believe: The Movie: The Review

By

By Paul Schmidt      We Believe: The Movie is the story of the Chicago Cubs and in particular their 2008 season, but, as director John Scheinfeld said at the premiere of the movie on Friday, June 12th at the historic Chicago Theater in downtown Chicago, it was meant to be more, it was meant to be "a love letter to the city of Chicago."       And while Scheinfeld did a … [Read more...] about We Believe: The Movie: The Review

Cubs and Twins exchange: Whoever Sucks Less Wins!

By

  As the Twins head to Wrigley Field for an interleague series against the Cubs this weekend, TSB.net's David K. and Peter Christian are feeling very pessimistic about their team's outlook, even though David's Cubs are just 2.5 games out of first in the NL Central and Peter's Twins only 4.5 back in the AL Central.  That "glass half-empty" approach comes to light as the two … [Read more...] about Cubs and Twins exchange: Whoever Sucks Less Wins!

Cubbies are Consistently Inconsistent

By

By Paul Schmidt Nothing like an easy week or so of baseball to just get you relaxed. The Cubs have always given their fans something of a workout, pumping them waaaayyyy up, then bringing them waaaayyyy down.  I feel as though, personally, that they may actually make my head explode. Somehow, in their last 10 games, the Cubs are 6-4.  It seems ridiculous to see this in … [Read more...] about Cubbies are Consistently Inconsistent

What Milwaukee’s Brewing: 30 in 50, Raw Relief & Fountain vs. Fist

By

By: Melissa S. Wollering Thirty W’s in 50 games—the Milwaukee Brewers make club history with that number.  It’s also just the second time the Crew has won 30 prior to June 1.  Unfortunately, the next day, Jorge Julio throws raw steak at the Fish, single-handedly loses a game and prompts Ken Macha to rethink his entire bullpen. Now that’s more like the Brewers we know and … [Read more...] about What Milwaukee’s Brewing: 30 in 50, Raw Relief & Fountain vs. Fist

Catching Up with the Cubs

By

by: David K. Anytime I have written anything about Carlos Zambrano, I always half-jokingly mention his craziness and habit of taking out his anger out on helpless Gatorade jugs.  Now you know why. Big Z lost it Wednesday afternoon, throwing an impressive tantrum by bumping the home plate umpire then throwing HIM out of the game, whipping the ball into the outfield, … [Read more...] about Catching Up with the Cubs
