TEAMS: Chicago Cubs,  Cleveland Indians
Ah, Wrigley!  Despite over a century of complete ineptitude for the Chicago Cubs, your fabled walls and ivy grass outfield are romanticized in a way almost unrivaled in all of sports.  Many fans have this on their “bucket list”, and with the amount of history and tradition associated with it, for good reason.  Just make [...]

The Children Are The Future-Cubs Minor League Update Sponsored by Samsung

Via Obstructed View  |  June 20, 2012
Iowa Josh Vitters hit his 10th HR of the year and is now slugging .468 on the year. Brett Jackson was 1-4 with a BB and a pair of strikeouts. His K rate as of his last 10 games is a smooth 50 %.  Daytona Alcantara is officially a prospect in my mind what he is doing in Daytona is a good job for a young middle infielder in the FSL. Last night he went 3-4 with a BB and stole his 20th...

Daytona Daytona returned from their ASB and Alcantara went 1-4 and stole his 19th base of the year. Whitenack continues to struggle a bit from this TJ return giving up 4 ER and 3 BB's in 3 IP. His velocity was fine just working on getting his command back. AJ MORRIS! the fellow K-State grad lowered his season ERA to 2.14. His fastball is in the mid 90's again and he has only...

Dodgers have interest in Cubs' RHPs Matt Garza and Ryan Dempster

Via Feelin' Kinda Blue  |  June 17, 2012
I wasn't intending to write a post about the Dodgers' interest in Ryan Dempster, but it goes hand-in-hand with the Dodgers' reported interest in Matt Garza. Nathan Eovaldi has filled in admirably in the absence of Ted Lilly. There's no timetable for his return. Everyone behind Clayton Kershaw is no better than a middle-of-the-rotation starting pitcher...

Indians fan goes nuts after missing home run ball (GIF)

Via Holdout Sports  |  June 20, 2012
A Cleveland Indians fan in the outfield stands went nuts after missing out on a home run ball during Tuesday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds. We don't have the full details about the home run itself (although we know it was one of the Indians that hit it), but this animated GIF was too good not to pass along. We will send out an update with more information as...

Game 68 Thread - T. Wood vs. Peavy

Via Cub Reporter  |  June 19, 2012
The Cubs set did something odd yesterday other than the obvious win. They managed 5 HR's but no other XBH's and apparently they've only done that 10 times in their entire franchise history. In other rare statistical oddities, Soriano is the franchise leader at home runs and RBI's for a designated hitter with 4 and 10. White Sox Cubs *De Aza, CF *DeJesus, CF...

Mat Latos implies Indians were relaying signs from second base

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  June 19, 2012
Pitchers Mat Latos and Derek Lowe opposed each other for the second time in a week, and much like their last game, a controversy ensued. The Indians beat the Reds 10-9 on Monday in the first of a three-game series in Cleveland, and Latos thinks some funny business was going on. The Reds starter got hammered for seven runs including three home runs over four innings, and he implied...

What follows is the the third installment of the New Era ballcaps ads featuring actors Nick Offerman and Craig Robinson sporting Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs caps. This one is the funniest by far; as it features Robinson in his Sox cap doing a lounge song version of “Take me out to the Ballgame.” It’s a viral vid sure to spice up the latest edition of the Red Line Series...
