It only took a 50 hour rain delay, but the Philadelphia Phillies - the only team in MLB history with over 10,000 losses - silenced their detractors and won it all. A packed house of screaming, cheering fans dressed more for an Eagles game than for baseball rocked the house from the first pitch of the...

Okay, so the Cubs couldn't make it to the World Series...again. Nothing new there folks, we haven't won it in 100 years, and haven't even been there in 63. But this year, the team with the worst franchise history in all of baseball is poised to win it all. Everyone thought they were finished...

Oh, man, if EVER a season cried out for a Yogi Berra quote, this one is it folks. It ain't over 'til it's over. The Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers have to make up an earlier Hurricane Ike rainout to see whether the ChiSox or Minnesota Twins makes it to the playoffs. Talk about nobody...

...is it next year yet, I have just one thing to say: "Lalala, I can't hear you!" Don't you know it's not something we talk about? Geez, Louise!!! So what if we have clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs. So what if we have clinched the division (2nd year in a row...

If you're a true, bleed Cubbie Blue, die-hard fan, you know what I'm talking about. This time, however, there is a major difference that is working in our favor. What's that you ask? Why, it's the Milwaukee Brewers! Unlike 1969, when the Mets went on a tear about the time the Cubs experienced...

It's May; the second month in the Major League Baseball season. But something is seriously amiss here, folks. Let's see, what could be the problem. Mid-May and still dealing with frost warnings? Check. Daily temps still lucky to make it to 50 degrees? Check. Mutant squirrels devastating every...

It's that time of year when three little words set my heart to fluttering. Yes, they are among the three most beautiful words in the world! No, not "I love you". Sheesh, I mean, those three words aren't just for this time of year. No, what gets my pulse racing right about now are the...
