Is the WLW team really as bad as I've been seeing?

And who won the Big Ten Tournament?

Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.

Cubs on TV two days in row a treat

Announcers don’t matter…it’s actually interesting to get a non-Cubs perspective…If Hawk and Stoney say something positive about a Cub, it stands out.

Castro’s games never seen to get televised tho!!

Good outing by Marshall today, but can’t help but feel starting Gorzo and Silva, with Marshall and Shark in pen, is the preferred option (because latter two have shown they can adapt/excel in the pen, where we need help as much as bottom of rotation).
