Impressive road trip
No matter what kind of team Atlanta is fielding, going down there, and Florida as well, is never an easy trip. The Cubs have sucked ass in Florida for the last several years. In fact, they hadn't won in Miami since 2005. Coming of a 3-game sweep in Atlanta, the Cubs were riding an 8-game winning streak into Florida.
It looked like it would be snapped before Daryle Ward...

Reds Roster Taking Shape
In somewhat of a surprise, the Reds included power bat Daryle Ward in their latest round of cuts. This is actually a good thing, as Ward had been absolutely terrible with the Cubs the last couple of years, and the Reds already have plenty of terrible Cubs screwing up their team.

Reds Sign Jones, Ward
The Cincinnati Reds have agreed to minor league deals with OF Jacque Jones and 1B/OF Daryle Ward. It just so happens that both are former Cubs; however, only Jones played under Reds manager Dusty Baker. Ward has a good chance to make the club as a pinch hitter, while Jones might need to prove himself in Triple-A before getting the call up. This story was approved by MLB Rumors.

Boo You
In the third inning of last night's game, I heard something that I feel needs comment. The man leading off for the Cubs that inning was booed before he even approached the plate. At that moment, Fukudome was hadn't batted in game 2 and had recorded a putout in right field. True, he went 0 for 4 the night before, but outside of DeRo and The Riot, who exactly hit well in...

Ward-o-saurus Walks the Earth Again
In one of those magic moments that seem to happen during every team's playoff run, Daryle Ward went from one of the Cubs 2008 goats to Northside hero. His three-run homer in the top of the ninth was good for a .647 WPA, which seems to be the biggest hit of the Cubs season.
Before that astonishing at-bat, Ward was 0 for his last 10, 4 for his last 29, and 4 for 40...

Would The Mets Sign Pudge?
According to Mark Healy, the Mets would be smart to sign Ivan Rodriguez this offseason. Schneider hit .257 this season and did a pretty good job handling the staff. However, bringing in a veteran like Pudge would give the Mets a much needed leader, as well as someone who can handle the pitching staff. In a lineup like the Mets, you really don't need a catcher who is going to...
