Shhhhhh Sherrill's available...

There's no way, anyone going to the opening day at Citi Field is going to hear Bobby Parnell or Eddie Kunz announced as the opening day closer ( that's not to say they wont be on the roster). Despite all the posturing there's no doubt that Omar Minaya will acquire a closer...

Game 90 Open Thread - Rays (49-41) at Royals (37-52)

Mlb_may_26_0e13
Greinke's damn close to being the only guy left on this team I care about. I can only credit Dayton Moore for drafting him, and Trey Hillman being the guy who guided him back to the starting rotation. These guys are good. Current Series 3 game series vs Rays...

If I had a Time Machine . . .

Mlb_jun_14_579d
As an über loser, not surprisingly, I'm a big science fiction fan. One of the tried and true science fiction plot devices is time travel. Lord only knows why, but I started thinking about what I would do if I had a time machine. Would I travel back to the past to avert wrongs...

Royals on the Farm 7/18

Mlb_jun_14_579d
What a sparkling start to the "second half" -- three games with the Rays, three leads and games blown in the 8th. It's disappointing that Juan Cruz blows Friday's game, but to put him back out on Saturday in the same situation? I disagree. Stinks for Greinke and Hochevar...

Cubs vs. Sox: How's about you do my job?

Mlb_jun_02_8465
So I'm going to attempt a little experiment over here at COI. I love our little site, and amazingly we actually have some regular readers, and some that pass through from time to time. One thing I do wish our site had though, like many other great Cub blogs, was readership participation...
