Cubs claim scrub pitcher from Cardinals; SEASON SAVED!
The Chicago Cubs might lose 95 games this year. Who knows with this move today, maybe they’ll only lose 90. Or maybe not. The Cubs claimed right-handed pitcher Eduardo Sanchez off waivers from the first place St. Louis Cardinals. Getting a cast off from the front-running Cardinals has got to help, right?
To their credit, the Cubs aren’t in last place. They’re penultimate in...

Minor League Highlights: 03/17/2013
Here are yesterday’s minor league stats. 2 of the higher profile hitters in the low minors are starting off pretty well this spring – Breyvic Valeria and Charlie Tilson. Both had strong games again. Robert Stock pitched, giving up 1 run in 2+ innings; this will be a make or break season for Stock, who needs to show that he’s ready to take the next step as a hitter.

Trial and errors: Cardinals somehow win
In essence, the Cardinals beat the Miami Marlins, 8-7, in 10 innings Monday night both in spite of themselves and because of themselves. Home-plate umpire Bob Davidson had a little to do with it, too. But if the Cardinals' season amounts to anything, they may well look back at this game as a watershed moment.
In the seventh, after the Cardinals had cut Miami's lead to 2...
