Cubs Hub:
After posting my Top 20 draft prospects reports (1-10 & 11-20), I'll continue the process of the Top 50 over the next couple of days and cap it off with my own attempt at a Mock Draft. As far as the Cub's #19 pick, word on the street is that Wilken will be looking for and selecting the best athlete available at the time since the Cubs don't have any glaring need in their system. So odds are high that it'll be a high schooler who's shown solid all-around tools, maybe even as a two-way star. Some names that have recently been floating around are Casey Kelly, Brett Lawrie, Anthony Hewitt, Zach Collier and Jake Odorizza, they join the crowd of Gerritt Cole, Alex Meyer, Ethan Martin, and Aaron Hicks. Without further ado here's my 21-30 top talented prospects in the draft.

Ruth's Granddaughter Wants MLB to Retire the Babe's Number "3"
Linda Ruth Tosetti believes Babe Ruth's number three should be retired by MLB because, according to her, he single-handedly saved baseball. Tosetti did what any woman with a "Ruthian mug" would do: she created a website and started a petition.
The New Joba Rules - Good or Bad?
While I believe this is the right move overall and will work out in the end, I strongly feel that the Yankees should wait a little more time until Chamberlain is clearly ready to go 5 innings. At that time, the Yankee faithful can begin to get excited about Chamberlain's long term progression. However, until then, we will all be forced to hold our breathe that whatever reliever...
Yankees? In Joba I Trust
I am a diehard Yankee fan, remembering watching the 1996 team and getting goosebumps as I could feel the stadium shake through my TV. I lived vicariously through Scott Brosius–cuz on the field I am not a big talker yet always hoping to be a hero like he was in '98 Fall Classic.
Pay him to go Brian, please!
A desperate plea for the release of Kei Igawa...at this point the Yankees should just ask for Hideki Irabu back.
Live Blogging: Joba-Mania!
Listen, there was a lot of talk on the airwaves today about this start tonight, and a lot of people echoed a similar sentiment: Strikeout pitchers don't get a ton of ground outs - especially young ones - and a lot of missed bats also means a lot of pitches thrown. Joba complicated matters for himself tonight by missing bats and missing the strike zone as well, and as a result...

So was Joba Chamberlain's first start a success? He only lasted 2 1/3 innings and gave up two runs, one earned and four walks.

Forgiveness Please: The Alou-Bartman Story
Media outlets reported that Moises Alou forgave Steve Bartman for interfering in that fateful play during the 2003 NLCS. Of course, the Deuce was all over it like the best sports blogging team on the internet. We should just repeat that phrase in every post like a couple of insecure bloggers...but now things have changed...
Staying The Course, Starting With Joba
When it was announced that Joba Chamberlain would enter the starting rotation sooner than later, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. All I could think about was the big hole he was leaving in the bullpen. But after Ian Kennedy was placed on the DL, I didn't think there was any other choice:

Johnson to pass Clemens on all-time K list but who is better?
But who has had the better career?
When Diamondbacks' starter Randy Johnson strikes out his first Milwaukee Brewer tonight, the game will be stopped, flash bulbs will pop, and history will be made. With that first 'K', the Big Unit will pass Roger Clemens on Major League Baseball's all-time strikeout list, with 4,673, ranking him second only to the great Nolan...
