Sammy Sosa spoke with ESPN Deportes and said that he will finally call it a career. He remains under the impression that he is on his way to the Hall of Fame, and he serves the Dominican government as something titled “Special Ambassador For Investment Opportunities”. To...
Blog Wars and Booing

Zoner Sports

I think I like a good Blog War as long as I am not a participating combatant. A blog war, for those who don’t know, is when one blogger pens a post and then another blogger takes umbrage with it. Soon after, comments and subsequent posts are flying around until there is a winner. If [...]

This Cubs team has an entirely different feel to it compared to last year's. Here's a quick rundown of what’s wrong with the Cubs.
Last night Geovany Soto was replaced for a pinch-hitter. The hitter was Bobby Scales and he was trying to lay down a sacrifice bunt. The...

It’s hard not to be absolutely livid about what happened with the Cubs last night. I don’t usually do game recaps, but here is a brief one: Cubs take a 5-0 lead into the bottom of the 8th behind another fine performance by Randy Wells.

Strange day. Interwebs down for most of it. Tech told me squirrels had been chewing through the lines. Then I saw a kindergarten kid at my son’s school with a Metallica “Ride the Lightning” shirt on. Wonder what shows he watches when he gets home? Here’s some...

Rex Grossman barely played for the Bears last season. He’s not even on the team anymore, and says he might try out for the UFL. Yet fans still remember “Bad Rex”, as evidenced on a recent episode of “Pros vs. Joes”.
This was a football episode and the...

“It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them,” he said. “I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense...

The other day InGameNow had a list of the top managerial meltdowns. It was great stuff, but no list is complete without Hal McRae's freakout from when he was managing the Royals. That escalated quickly.
Peter King: Bears Are #4 In NFL
May 29, 2009 by

I was surprised to see that in Peter King’s latest NFL rankings he has New England at #1 and my beloved Bears at #4 behind Pittsburgh and the Giants.
I love the Bears as much as anyone, but I’m not sure they should be ranked that high. Teams 5-1o are Indy, Philly, San Diego...

Zoner Sports
| Comments
I remember a few things from school. Adam Smith was the father of economics. The disjunctive syllogism is a valid form of argument. Mitosis is where one cell divides into two, and it was more fun to call it My Toe-zees. And of course, binomial logistic regression.
OK, I didn’...

At this point Randy Wells might want to go back to Iowa. He won 3 games there earlier this year and 10 more in 2008. Since coming up to the Cubs he’s given up just 5 runs in 4 starts and hasn’t allowed a long ball. He’s averaging almost a K an inning and has [...]

“RealScouts” has posted their inside linebacker rankings over at Sporting News. I’m going to go ahead and guess that they didn’t see too many Bears games last year. They have Brian Urlacher ranked as their #1 inside linebacker. Here is their blurb on him:

Fran Tarkenton is hoping that Brett Favre comes back and plays for the Vikings. So he can fail. In an interview with 790 The Zone in Atlanta, Tarkenton had some choice words about Favre’s retired-not retired cycle: “I think it’s despicable. What he put the Packers through last...

Saw this tweet from SI’s Jon Heyman and as much as I wanted to I could not disagree:
The Cubs have dumped 8 straight and are having all kinds of trouble scoring runs. Lou Piniella is starting to unravel. He also batted Reed Johnson 5th and Soriano leadoff the other night. Do...

Something tells me the Cubs ain’t living right. Big Z is back but now Harden heads to the DL. And the Cubs were shut down by Jake Peavy last night. Big Lou, from the Trib:
