Apparently, this is the USA jersey for the WBC.  What is with the retarded looking “S”?  It would look so much nicer with an “S” that matches the other letters.
The nicest looking one is the Venezuela jersey.  Maybe I’ll get a Zambrano.

Happy Birthday to Ernie Banks, 75 years young!

It seems that the Cubs have picked up another outfielder with the slightly ironic name of Angel Pagan.  He’s 24, is a switch hitter, and has hit .282 so far in the minors.  The article says he will be added to the 40-man.  Could this be a platoon possiblity for right?

The Trib has some new ariel views of the wrigley bleacher expansion.

Here’s something interesting that I ran across while googling a subject that had nothing to do with baseball or politics.  CampaignMoney.com is a website that follow campaign contributions and lists who is giving what to whom.  Among the notables featured on their sidebar are the Cubs, Yankees, and Red Sox.  It’s also interesting to note […]

First, the Tejada drama finally went away, now, so does the Patterson one.
It’s no surprise that the Cubs dumped Corey this off-season - it was just a matter of when and what would we get for him.  I’m sure that the Cubs wanted to seal the deal before they would have to start answering questions […]

Augie’s Back!

I still remember how pumped the crowd was the last game of the regular season in 2003 when the Cubs were down 3-2 and Augie led off the bottom of the ninth. He singled and the crowd went nuts. He ended up being stranded at second as the Cubs lost the game, […]
