Yes, it is in fact that time of year when Friday's slate of afternoon baseball features only one contest, and it's between somebody and the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

I plan on seeing...

Number 44 in Atlanta is synonymous with Hank Aaron. And in New York, well…in New York, the Yankees have too many to mention.On May 3, the Chicago Cubs will be adding a new number to their team’s historic legacy.

Alarming trends are beginning to develop with this team. Yes, we've seen the cracks from the outset, but I'm starting to get the feeling that they can't be fixed.
