Currently, the Cubs are mired in a 7-game losing streak. Last night’s loss to the lowly Houston Astros was an eyesore if there ever was one. Starter and ace Matt Garza was absolutely terrible, and admitted afterwards to trying to do a little too much to pull the Cubs out of their crappy ways. [...]

Cubs Through 31: Maybe Not Quite As Crappy As We Originally Thought? (13-18) Leave a comment
It wasn’t a World Series title, but almost the next best thing for Cubs fans about 5 days ago: Carlos Marmol was removed from the position of closer. It only took two blown saves in just four opportunities, Marmol showing the body language of a wounded puppy and an ERA of 329 for skip Dale [...]
Bulls on the brink, Bryce ain’t nice (and the squares hate it), and Luol Deng’s vanishing act. Leave a comment
Oy vey. Well, haven’t things for the Bulls certainly gotten…ugly? After losing PG Derrick Rose to a torn ACL near the end of a Game 1 win and Joakim Noah to a sprained ankle in the second half of a Game 3 loss, the Bulls find themselves facing elimination at the hands of the 8th-seeded [...]
Cubs Through 20: Still Pretty Crappy (7-13) Leave a comment
One half of the dry-hitting duo of catcher Geovany Soto and center fielder Marlon Byrd was traded to the Boston Red Sox for righty reliever Michael Bowden, cash and allegedly, bubble gum. It was Byrd who was moved, he of some of the ugliest swings known to mankind. Some think the trade means young center [...]
2012 NBA Playoffs: No, we can’t skip to the Finals. Leave a comment
It really wasn’t that long ago when many of us felt a 2011-12 NBA season was out of the question. The owners decided they wanted more of the pie and obviously the players felt otherwise. NBA commish David Stern’s ugly mug was on my television far too many times, expressing to NBA fans that he [...]

Cubs Through 10: Pretty Crappy (3-7) Leave a comment
When I first saw the Cubs’ 2012 schedule, I winced at every April opponent. The Washington Nationals, Prince-less Milwaukee Brewers, Pujols-less St. Louis Cardinals, Miami Marlins, Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies with a second series against the Cards between the Reds and Phils. Loss, loss, loss, loss…you get the point. 9-14 if things go the [...]

2012 Cubs: Feel The…Um…Baseball Leave a comment
Today, the 2012 Chicago Cubs regular season begins at Wrigley Field, against the Washington Nationals. Ryan Dempster (10-14, 4.80 ERA in 2011) takes the bump against the Nationals’ Stephen Strasburg (1-1, 1.50 ERA), who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2010 and made five starts last September. No, Dempster’s ERA is not a typo, but when [...]
