Write a Ridiculous Letter, Get Published in the Chicago Tribune

Write a Ridiculous Letter, Get Published in the Chicago Tribune

By Brett on March 20, 2011

I will be the first to admit that I don’t know how a newsroom works. I don’t know how story ideas are created, vetted, and assigned. I don’t know the process of writing a news article. I don’t know the pressures of a deadline. And I also don’t know how letters to the editor are [...]

Cubs Clearly Want Jeff Samardzija to Succeed

Cubs Clearly Want Jeff Samardzija to Succeed

By Brett on March 13, 2011

Not that the Cubs would wish failure on any of their players, but the team’s effort to push Jeff Samardzija to success this Spring has been obvious and, at times, painful. He regularly pitches the 9th inning of Spring Training games, where he faces a cadre of minor leaguers, and is subjected to little criticism when he [...]

Obsessive Pujols Watch: White Sox Won’t Sign Him, Kenny Williams Wants a Salary Cap

By Brett on February 22, 2011

White Sox general manager Kenny Williams, speaking from his team’s Spring Training location in Glendale, yesterday said the Sox won’t be in on Pujols, should he actually reach free agency after this season.

The White Sox Are the Only Relevant Baseball Team in Chicago

The White Sox Are the Only Relevant Baseball Team in Chicago

By Brett on February 12, 2011

Few articles require no introduction, and indeed – where ridiculous enough – no fisking. To wit: Beginning next week and playing out all summer long, the only relevant baseball team in New Gotham is at 35th and Shields. Yes, for the first time in decades, this town belongs to the White Sox. Stop right here [...]

Hold on to Your Butts: The White Sox Have Made an Offer to Kerry Wood

By Brett on December 15, 2010

Sit down and grab a paper bag. We hear from very good baseball sources that the White Sox have made a two-year offer to free agent pitcher Kerry Wood. Wood played 10 years with the Cubs and pitched last season for the Yankees, who reportedly are interested in bringing him back. Wood has said he [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Javier Vazquez Wants to Pitch in Miami

Lukewarm Stove: Javier Vazquez Wants to Pitch in Miami

By Brett on November 19, 2010

Like LeBron James and Chris Bosh before him, free agent starter Javier Vazquez wants to take his talents to Miami. The 34-year-old starter, coming off a down year, has been connected to the Chicago Cubs’ search for a middle-of-the-rotation type, but there are now two significant hurdles to him becoming a Cub. In addition to [...]
