Lou Piniella was the topic of a short column in Friday's NY Daily News.  It touches on Lou's former, and hometown, team being in the World Series and his take on it. More interestingly, it talks...

Here's a link to the Trib's blog I'm a bit surprised that no surgery is needed, with the velocity down.  If he can pitch like he has in the past, this is obviously a good thing - but he's...

As has been mentioned several times this year, this is quite possibly the best Cubs overall team that anyone alive has witnessed.  I'm old enough to remember the early 1980's, and it's certainly...

Ok, the off day is almost over, but let's be honest.  We're all going to be stir-crazy waiting for 6:10 CDT Friday.  The Zambrano news is good, so we can turn our focus back to the on-field...
