I was watching the Arizona Diamondbacks-Chicago Cubs game this afternoon, and the commentators brought up a certain fun fact about Arizona rookie pitcher, Max Scherzer. Dude has a condition called heterochromia - he has a blue eye and a brown eye. I don't know what's scarier for a hitter - seeing a guy with different color eyes staring you down, or his 98 mph heater.

In an ironic twist of fate ESPN's Pedro Gomez, who has been shadowing Barry Bonds for the last two seasons, was not a witness to the historic event.

I believe I heard in the promo that on today's 30 Clubs in 30 Days show on MLB Network that covers the Chicago Cubs that they're going to announce their all-time greatest Cubs team. That seems pretty easy for the most part and I'm not sure of their criteria, but let's see if we can guess.

Posted by Lionel on March 12, 2009.Theodore Lilly got his first start for Team USA on Wednesday. He gave up 3 hits and 1 run over 3 innings pitched. He struck out 2 and didn't walk a batter. But, in my opinion, it was a disappointing outing. Why? Well, the one run he yielded was on a HR...to Henry Blanco. That's right, Hank White took Lilly yard on an 0-1 pitch. Maybe Hank...

So. Tribune Company's sale to Sam Zell is a done deal, and at least one of you yesterday wondered why I didn't mention it myself, didn't make a front page post, let it go unmentioned. Why did I do this? Because nothing happened to the Chicago Cubs yesterday. We all knew this deal was coming, and the ...

I don?t know if the Cub beat writers are in a dumbass contest or what, but it seems each day one of them writes something dumber than another of them wrote the day before. Today, Gordo?s got some questions:
