Hire Jim Essian

No matter how stupid I feel about rooting for the often ineptly-managed Cubs, there is always the Mets' management to make me feel better. THINGS OF NOTE: Kevin Burkhardt can barely hold back his laughter as he's introducing the clip. It's the laughter of a man wondering how the hell he ended up in this situation, when porn was a perfectly ... Read More

This afternoon Pre brought to my attention a little bit of oddness from Yahoo. In a post regarding the potential of a Matt Garza trade to the Cubs, "Louis" had some unkind words for Jim Hendry. I have said it before and I will say it again... Until Jim Hendry is fired and a real gm is hired the cubs ... Read More

Face facts. You're not doing anything tonight. So you should tune in to the MLB Network at 7:00 CT to watch Game Seven of the 1960 World Series between the Yankees and Pirates. (HT: Pre) I don't want to spoil the ending, but if you hate the Yankees, you MIGHT want to tune in. ... Read More

It blew my mind that Stone could prognosticate which pitch would be thrown in a certain situation or whether or not a batter would try to steal a base. ... Read More

Phil Rogers once again dabs the corners of his mouth with his drool bib, breaks out his box of 64 color crayons, and pens another installment of the consistently-pointless All-City Team. I know you're already aware that the only way Phil's columns are allowed to go outside is if they are attached by a leash to our good friend ... Read More

Oh, happy day! It's Crosstown Classic weekend! The weekend where two teams headed nowhere square off against one another and try to prove who cares less about playing one another. The answer? You fans. Also, me. I've been dealing with just the tips for the past two weeks, so we have some catching up ... Read More
