NFL rules include (at the referee's discretion) flagging a 15 yard penalty for Taunting. MLB umps just give 'em the "yer outta here" thumb. Even Carlos Zambrano occasionally gets into the fun.
I received this e-mail today from Stubhub:
Where do you want to sit?
Hey Joseph,
Be there alongside your Chicago Cubs as they chase baseball immortality. Go to StubHub, where you’ll find a fantastic selection of tickets to every playoff game – so you experience the championship chase live and in person. Check it out. Go to StubHub and get the seats you want today.
Then a few hours later I got this apology:
Hi Joseph,
Earlier today, an email promoting Chicago Cubs postseason tickets was sent to you. This, unfortunately, was a mistake. We regret the error and apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.
Sincerely,
The StubHub Team
CONFUSION?
That's about the only thing regarding th...

An Interview With Bruce Miles
ACB- Obviously this season didn’t go the way anyone planned/wanted. What are 3 moves you would like to see the Cubs make and have you heard anything regarding the resources Hendry will have/not have to make moves this offseason?
Bruce Miles - It appears there will not be a lot of payroll flexibility this off-season, which may mean the Cubs go the trade route more than free...
A-Rod on why Cub fans are idiots
Sometimes Cub fans embarrass me. Actually this is pretty typical -- if you are a Cub fan, no matter how idiotic you may act, sooner or later you'll encounter some other Cub fan who makes your face burn an embarrassing shade of red, leaving you to apologize to the non-Cub-fans around you. "We're not all like that. That guy's nuts."

Going by the OPS+ statistic as an indicator of hitting productivity, do you know who was third on the team in 2009 (amongst players of 300+ ABs) in OPS+, after DLee and ARam?
No fair peeking at the tag. Of course it was Milton Bradley. He barely edged out Fooky in both OBP and SLG. Miltie's OPS+ was 104, which roughly means he was slightly above the average...

Johjima does honorable thing - will Fukudome be next?
Catcher Kenji Johjima of the Seattle Mariners opted out of the final two years of his contract so he could return to Japan, and play ball in what is, presumably, a more comfortable environment for him. I cannot pretend to imagine his thought process, having had a college course in Japanese culture. I know Japanese people are more honor-driven than we are. Johjima...
Rudy's a Cub
Saw on ESPN tonight that the Cubs are going to announce in the morning that they've hired Rudy Jaramillo to be their hitting coach.

One of the Cubs who could have used Rudy Jaramillo most in 2009 said he?s looking forward to celebrating the team?s hiring of the former Texas Rangers hitting coach. ??That?s going to be good news,?? said Alfonso Soriano, who averaged 32 home runs and 98 RBI with Jaramillo and the Rangers in 2004 and ?05. ??We had very good communication because he speaks Spanish.
