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 [...]
Friday Night Fukudome: Hoffpauir vs. Pie vs. Ward
If my calculations are correct, there are going to be two roster slots available for the Cubs’ three left-handed hitting outfielders. Let’s let the Fukudome decide who should go to the NLDS (hint, look how happy Daryle looks, you heartless bastards!). You can select two of the three choices.

Yo, Jim! I Got Your “Two Significant Moves” Right Here!
[Gestures toward balls]
Nah, I’m just messing with you, Jim. Lou has balls enough for the whole team. Really, though, I’m going to freak you out with this one. Forget Erik Bedard. Forget him. I figured out how you can end your offseason as the top team in the National League [...]

I can’t tell you who, and I can’t tell you what, and I’m not really sure on why and how, but a source who asked to remain unnamed has suggested that the Brian Roberts hostage crisis has been delayed due to the inclusion of one Felix Pie and one Erik Bedard in the trade conversations [...]
