Congratulations, St. Louis Cardinals, on winning the pennant with 83 wins on the season!

It's a good thing that the Cubs didn't try to sign upgrade their pitching staff going into the season or try to find a replacement for Derrek Lee once he was injured.  The Ronny Cedeno experiment was marvelous -- I look forward to the Cesar Izturis shittiness redux next year!  

And I'm glad they followed this sites's advice and didn't make any changes in the front office or, really, to the team until the season was over.  Then they didn't make enough changes.  

GO CUBBIES!  Wait, what's the phone number for ticket sales for next year?  I don't want to miss out on paying through the nose!

The first of many tests for the Cubs off-season has arrived.  Will the Cubs submit a bid?

Or is Hendry too busy wining and dining his 52 managerial candidates?

STAY TUNED!!!

Daisuke Matsuzaka Article

Highly regarded pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka was given permission by the Seibu Lions on Tuesday to pursue a career in the major leagues, according to local media reports.

Matsuzaka is still one year away from becoming a free agent but Seibu is expected to use the posting system in which major league teams present bids for Japanese players with the highest bidder winning negotiating rights, Kyodo News agency reported Tuesday.
