The start of 2012 has been anything but glorious for the Chicago Cubs, but on Monday, everything seemed alright as Joe Mather knocked in the game winning runs against the St. Louis Cardinals. Check the video out here. Center fielder Marlon Byrd was traded to the Boston Red Sox over the weekend in the team’s most recent shakeup. I’m all in favor of dealing Byrd. He was...

Joe Mather Is The Story Of The Cubs’ Spring Training

There was obviously plenty to watch with the Chicago Cubs this spring. You had a new manager, in Dale Sveum, working under a new front office regime led by Theo Epstein, and more bounce back candidates than any other team in the league.
