The 2013 Major League Baseball season is officially underway, and the last round of Home Openers will be played today. However, we all know the season doesn’t really heat up until the end of May or so. That means you’ve still got plenty of time to plan some summer road trips to some of the [...]

The 9 Worst Performances of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at Wrigley Field
The Chicago Cubs recently announced that they have decided to pull the plug on a Wrigley Field tradition: celebrity guests singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the 7th inning stretch. The reason? Well, I think ostensibly it’s to return to the more old-fashioned ballpark traditions and make the games less about out-of-town [...]

Tom Willis, a Man Born with No Arms, Threw the First Pitch at Wrigley Field Yesterday (Video)
Man, the Chicago Cubs are on a roll these days. Not only has the team won 14 of their last 19 games to climb into…well, second-to-last place, but they’ve also had a number of interesting things happening at the beautiful (but crumbling) Wrigley Field. Last week, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler stopped by to sing [...]

With a 38-53 record on the season, the Chicago Cubs find themselves 13.5 games out in the race for top spot in the NL Central, and 12 games out of an NL Wild Card spot. Needless to say, their play on the field hasn’t been giving Cubs fan much, if anything, to get excited about, [...]

Jay Cutler Sings “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” At Wrigley Field (Video)
The Chicago sports scene is kind of weird. Fans will put up with a hundred years of futility and heartbreak from the Cubs, but they absolutely will not tolerate bad quarterbacks. Just ask Jay Cutler.

Animal Interference: 11 Critters Who Interrupted Sporting Events
Ever since that squirrel ran across home plate just as Philadelphia’s Roy Oswalt was delivering a pitch in Game 4 of the NLDS between the Phillies and Cardinals (a game which St. Louis went on to win), people in St. Louis have been going nuts for the Busch Stadium Rally Squirrel. It’s become a symbol [...]

Female Cubs Fan Gets A Beer Shower (Video)
Throwing an opposing team’s home run ball back onto the field is a great way to gain the respect of your fellow fans, but in the case of this Cubs fan, it was also a great way to lose a souvenir, a beer, and a chance at a lovely lady’s number. The incident took place [...]

10 Must-See Venues for a Diehard Sports Fan
The nice thing about compiling a list like this is that it’s likely to be just as relevant in 20 years as it is now. Good teams of course come and go, but few places can be regarded as true sports Meccas. Once that distinction is earned, it isn’t quick to go. The best part [...]

Picture Of The Day: Does This Cubs Shirt Get These Kids Laid?
Good old Wrigley Field. The place where Chicago’s oddities seem to gather every afternoon to take in a ball game, and amaze us in the process. Whether it is a couple of shirtless teens showing off their matching tattoos (as moronic as they are), or a fan who has yet to figure out the proper [...]

Milton Bradley Has Had Enough With America’s Racism
Total Pro Sports – We have all likely become accustomed to hearing Milton Bradley rant and whine, but this time he may actually be onto something. Bradley has not had the best of years, batting an unimpressive .259 and tallying only 11 homer runs and 35 RBIs. That is enough to get almost any $10-million-a-year [...]
