Here’s a great idea. How about I buy the jersey of a Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer (Ron Santo) and to be cooler than Stuart Scott I go ahead and change the name on the back of the jersey to “Marks”. AWESOME!!!!! That must have been the thought process of this Cubs fans who decided that it just wasn’t good enough to be walking around with an authentic Ron Santo jersey. He needed more. I’m not a fan of personalized jersey but if that’s your thing so be it. If you are going to do it then choose some random number that no player who actually matters wears and definitely not a Hall of Famer. It just makes you look like a douche. The other option is to just choose #69, put something like “Blackout” on the back, and be “that guy”.

In Thursday's Cubs-Nationals game, benches cleared in the sixth inning after Cubs reliever Lendy Castillo threw inside at Bryce Harper. Both benches cleared and the bullpens emptied onto the field. There was an incident at first base between Cubs reliever Manuel Corpas and Nationals reliever Mike Gonzalez led to both of their ejections, and Cubs catcher Steve Clevenger was also...

Cubs' Clevenger suspended one game
Chicago Cubs catcher Steve Clevenger has been suspended for one game by Major League Baseball for his role in a benches-clearing incident against the Nationals.
Clevenger, who also was fined, did not appeal the penalty and was set to sit out Saturday night at Pittsburgh.
During the sixth inning of the Cubs' 9-2 loss to Washington on Thursday night, a pitch from Chicago'...

As you’re aware, there was little dust-up between the Nats and Cubs on Thursday night after Chicago tried to bean Bryce Harper. Back-up catcher Steve Clevenger explained why after the game:
“You’re up 7-2 … you don’t swing 3-0 in that situation.”
Mind you, this occurred in the FIFTH INNING.
Clevenger’s ridiculously stupid notion got us thinking about what other “unwritten...

Hardball Times: Soriano is not overpaid

September 07, 2012
This study leans a little more heavily on defensive metrics (and one in particular) than I'd like, though at least we have many seasons of data. It's otherwise a great look at the constantly maligned Alfonso Soriano.

Alfonso Soriano, Gold Glover?

September 06, 2012
Everyone has been focusing on Darwin Barney's record breaking errorless streak, but yesterday was the first that I had heard of Soriano's. He hasn't made a single error all season and even noted Soriano critic Bob Brenly has praised his defense this year. So does he really have a shot? The thing that helps him the most is that the GG rules have changed to be position...

OPS Fantasy Leagues: Oh My, Starlin-Eyed Surprise

September 06, 2012
Starlin Castro – In the crazy town of Chicago, this 22-year-old shortstop certainly has the gift of game. He has been approaching the level of top tier at his position, but this has as much to do with his upside as the general lack of talent among other shortstops in the league. Looking at his 2012 season, it could very well be interpreted as a disappointment due to his drop in...

Cubs Nationals on Field Melee (video)
The Chicago Cubs seemingly took out most of their losing frustration on the first place Nationals last night because Jayson Werth supposedly broke an unwritten rule by swinging at 3-0 count with the bases loaded in the 5th inning with his team leading 7-2. The very next batter was Bryce Harper who was on the wrong side of Cubs reliever Lendy Castillo throwing inside at him. Here...

Back on Thursday night, things got heated between the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs in the 6th inning when Cubs pitcher Lendy Castillo nearly hit Nationals star Bryce Harper with a pitch.
Harper who was not too pleased with the location of the ball went out to confront Castillo but before that happened, both teams cleared the benches for what would appear to be a brawl...

The Cubs beat the Pirates 12-2 for the irony alone, a day after declaring a five-run lead "piling on." But we've probably beat that dead horse enough.

Brett "Ghost of Reed Johnson" Jackson didn't adjust his competitive settings to autopilot just because the Cubs had a ridiculous lead (die, dead horse, die more!). He went after this ball...

Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson doesn't believe in the notion that a team with a big lead should ease off the gas pedal. The Chicago Cubs beg to differ. Therein lies the reason for two near brawls Thursday night in the Nationals' 9-2 rout of the Cubs, which completed a four-game sweep. First, Cubs bench coach Jamie Quirk began yelling at Nationals third base...
