“Because I’m easy come, easy go; little high, little low. Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me.” – Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen It’s a minor miracle that the Cubs continue to play winning baseball despite their season-long rotation issues.

“I’m all lost in the supermarket, I can no longer shop happily. I came here for the special offer…guaranteed personality.” — Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash We’ve reached Deadline Day and Major League Baseball is about to become one gigantic public market clearing house.

We love to romanticize baseball, don’t we? The truth is, today’s baseball isn’t the “game of base” once played in 1846 in a sprawling park in Hoboken, NJ. From its onset, the sport oozed myth, just as the park that derived its name from a fabled afterlife paradise reserved for heroes, demigods, and the exceptionally …

“How do you think he does it? (I don’t know). What makes him so good?” – Pinball Wizard by Elton John with The Who (from the movie Tommy) That’s a sweep, my friends and esteemed colleagues, and I love it. The Cubs have looked like a pinball machine on permanent multi-ball play since Jed Hoyer …
