Thirty-three games left. Can the Cubs win 100 games for the first time since ‘35? I think it is well within the realm of possibility. We still aren’t out of the woods yet as far as the NL Central race is concerned, but every day the promised land gets closer and closer. In my opinion, [...]

Since I can’t seem to embed this crap, here is a link: Asshat of the Week.
I think that every sports team has its share of embarassing fans. We find ourselves wishing that these people would show some maturity, respect, and moderation. Cards fans everywhere should be wishing that this guy

It was mentioned quite during the Cubs playoff games last year that Mark DeRosa has a blog. I’ve recently re-discovered it
