The Cublogoverse Says Kosuke Fukudome is HAWT
Yeah, yeah. It’s April and Kosuke Fukudome is one of the hottest hitters in baseball. What else is new. But had to give a shout to Zoner Sports, if for no other reason than the excellent title: Fukudome is Fukidominating. Everyone left him for dead but Kosuke Fukudome is Fuki-dominating. To be sure, those same […]
Series Preview: Cubs v. Diamondbacks, April 27 – April 29
The Chicago Cubs head on down to Arizona to take on the Diamondbacks this week. And yes, I realize that’s the old logo.

The Cubs hope it doesn’t come to that. […]

On the Sports Reporters this morning, Mike Lupica used his parting thoughts to tear Chicago Cubs outfielder/bench sitter Milton Bradley a new one.

OMG Soriano Batted Third! OMG it Didn’t Last!
