Cubs Fan Returns Miguel Tejada’s Home Run Ball
Hendry, sign this kid. Have to wonder if Soriano’s more than literally looking over his shoulder. (via MLB.com)

All is right in Cubs concession world once again.
Have to wonder what Wrigley management was thinking back in ‘82, when they dumped the Chicago-made wieners for Ball Park Franks, which come from Wisconsin.
Wisconsin. Really?

Unfortunately, the grass doesn’t grow until next year.
In the meantime, perhaps Scotts’ R&D Department can work on a new formula fortified with wins.
Sure, Hohokam’s where the action is for the next six weeks, but on April 13th it’s a whole new ballgame.
And what’s this shit about the Cubbies not visiting the Dodgers until August? They’re in San Diego twice before making it to LA. Thanks for the knuckler, MLB schedulers.
Barely a low simmer at the winter meetings. A lefty bat still seems to be on the shopping list, however.

Nice to see Woody land on his feet, on a cushion of green in Cleveland. Meanwhile, the post-season awards continue to trickle into Wrigley, as the Cubs training staff nabs best in the majors.


That’s consecutive champions. And so it begins…

Thank you, Pittsburgh! It was great sweeping you! So, what’s happened…? Oh, right. It’s almost September, and the Cubs are back at the MLB top of the heap. The NL Central lead keeps growing. The hits (and runs) keep coming (Swing away, Big Z!). And the pitching staff is throwing heat.
No more dreaming, folks. This is real. Bring it on, Philly…
A mechanical outdoor ad marvel near Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Hash Browns ‘Clogging Artery’ installation is still in the concept phase. Breakfast is served. (via)

Sweet Homestand, Chicago! 7-0! Soriano’s E count is on the upswing, Kosuke was quiet, but it appears Jim Edmonds isn’t quite ready to hang up his cleats: 5-7, 5 RBI, BB and 2 Runs in his last two games. And score a 14th save for Cary Wood.
Best Record in Baseball (36-21). That’s all of Baseball. Sounds weird, but it sounds good.
