In 2018, right-hander Lucas Giolito was the worst starting pitcher in MLB. He was dead last with a 6.13 ERA and a -0.7 fWAR. It’s not just that he was the worst, there was quite some space between Giolito and the second worse starting pitcher. It was his first full year in the majors and […]

So, it was made public today that the reason Ben Zobrist has been given an indefinite leave of absence from the Cubs is because he’s dealing with a pending divorce. His wife Julianna filed for divorce in Cook County a few days ago. And according to The Tennessean, Ben Zobrist filed for legal separation in […]

One of the unsung heroes of the Chicago Bears and their rise from the ashes of the past five years is Champ Kelly. GM Ryan Pace brought him over from Denver in 2015 to become their Director of Pro Scouting. A job he excelled at, helping them to secure names like Akiem Hicks and Danny […]

Kyle Hendricks was pretty bad in April, posting a 5.33 ERA in five starts. His sluggish start to 2019 was capped off by allowing 10 hits and seven earned runs to the Diamondbacks on April 26. But since then Hendricks has pitched the best three starts of his career. In 25 innings, Hendricks has only […]

The annual “Anthony Rizzo has back tightness” has arrived as the Cubs first baseman has missed the past couple games. He’s hoping to be back in the next few days, but in the meantime Kris Bryant is filling in at first base and the Cubs won’t stop messing with Rizzo. Apparently Jon Lester always yells […]

Chicago Bulls fans are in a state of absolute misery these day. Not only has the team been terrible for years now, but they can’t even seem to better their fortunes in the NBA draft lottery either. For the third-straight year they watched their bad luck strike again, gaining just the 7th pick in the […]

The Cubs placed Ben Zobrist on the restricted list last week and there were no specifics on why Zobrist was going to be away from the team and for how long. Well, you can end all the speculation because we now know why Zobrist is gone indefinitely. According to court records, Zobrist is dealing with […]

The Khalil Mack trade was a landmark moment not just in Chicago Bears history, but NFL history. It was the latest and perhaps biggest sign that the league had changed. Teams were far more open to dealing superstar players in the name of obtaining large amounts of draft capital and saving money. This despite a […]

Stephen Denmark was an unheralded name when the Chicago Bears drafted him in the 7th round back in April. He went to tiny Valdosta State in Division II and had only played his position of cornerback for a year. Yet that didn’t stop him from producing three interceptions and helping his team win a national […]

The Bulls struck out on Tuesday night, landing the 7th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. What's next?

The Chicago Bears starting lineup is probably among the most boring in the NFL. Mostly because expectations are there will be few changes to it. A total of 19 of the original 22 starters from last season are back in 2019 with safety Adrian Amos, cornerback Bryce Callahan, and running back Jordan Howard being the […]

This didn’t take long and both Joe Maddon and Theo Epstein were pretty direct on the intentions of the Cubs moving forward with Addison Russell. Or what they won’t be doing with him. On Monday, ESPN’s Karl Ravech was on the Waddly And Silvy Show on ESPN 1000 in Chicago. During the radio segment Ravech […]

The White Sox have already dealt with Lucas Giolito being on the injured list this year for a few weeks and on Monday the team announced that left-hander Carlos Rodon will have Tommy John surgery ending his 2019 season. Ervin Santana made three starts for the White Sox and was then DFA’d. Now, Manny Bañuelos […]

When the Chicago Bears drafted running back Kerrith Whyte in the 7th round, everybody said it was for one reason. He’s fast. Really fast. The kid had been clocked at a 4.38 in the 40-yard dash. For somebody that is over 200 lbs, that is impressive. His value both as a runner and as a […]

ESPN and the media has been giving subtle hints of Zion coming to Chicago.
