You want a barometer reading on how bad the Cubs are right now? - Mr. Patience has taken to calling Cub fans “lemmings”, Mad-Lib style.  Pot, meet kettle.

There’s a Cubs roundtable discussion over at Beyond The Boxscore with everyone’s favorite bleacher bum/Director’s Guild member, Al Yellon, and one of the biggest outside insiders in baseball, Will Carrol. The disscusion covers everything from Big Z’s pitchcounts, to who might replace Dusty, to the current Savior of the Month, Aubrey Huff.

MLB.com is now promoting MLBlogs. You can get your own webspace and access to graphcis and pictures for $4.95 a month or $49.95 a year. Apparently, Tommy Lasorda already has a blog here (whether it’s actually him writing or not remains to be seen), as does Brooks Robinson and Daron Sutton.
Looks like MLB […]
