Not being from Chicago, the Cubs/Sox rivalry somewhat eludes me in significance. In central Illinois I can’t remember meeting more than one White Sox fan in my whole life, because those who aren’t Cubs fans are most certainly Cardinals fans.

Anyone feeling a little different about Corey Patterson lately? It seems like he’s making contact in clutch situations a little more often and not chasing the ball out of the strike zone like we all know he can.

Its been obvious that we haven’t had much time to update the site lately, and the “Old Style Cubs - Updated Daily” tagline in the upper left-hand corner has been, quite literally, a bold-faced lie for a good three weeks now. All that’s behind us, though, as the other Mike and myself are quite free […]
