Instant Replay Is Fine, But Already Needs Fixing
I know your thoughts have already turned toward tomorrow night’s early evening’s late afternoon’s NLDS showdown between the Dodgers and the Cubs, but please permit me a brief rant about Bud Selig’s idiocy. I believe it was Sunday when I was listening to Pat and Ron on the radio, and Pat mentioned that on [...]
Start Some Chatter Out There
One more day until postseason baseball is back in Chicago.
Sveum Sets Postseason Pitching Rotation
Magic Number Countdown: 11
