D Lee Denies LA
Posted: July 29, 2010 in DailiesTags: 2010, Chicago Cubs, Cubs, Dawson, Hall of Fame, Lee, Lilly, MLB
Lee opted to stay with the Cubs instead of waive his no-trade clause to be sent to the Angels. As far as I’m concerned, he’s one of the best Cubs first basemen of all-time. If he wants to stay and…

Screw it.The MLB championship is out of our Cub reach for 2010. Time to accept that…but who cares. That trophy is overrated. Let’s be honest with ourselves…the Crosstown Cup is our coveted ark. If this season were an action film…
Hey Sammy, how much should Chicago care about the Crosstown Cup?

Yeah….I don’t even know if we should care about it even that much. Let’s get the W’s for sure. But keep our eyes focused on the only trophy that matters. This other thing is just a ridiculous knick-knack for the…

You just need to keep your mouth shut in this great game. You can’t mention anything about anything going great because as soon as you do…BOOM, gone.My last post was about Lou loving his decision to move Z to the…
