Pursuit of Dopeness

To say the Cubs have been terrible is probably an understatement. They hold one of the worst records in the league and don’t seem to be doing anything right. The offense has struggled and the pitching has been horrible. I think we all expected the team to do bad, but this bad? The present looks ugly but the future looks good. While the Cubs organization has taken the first steps in preparation, the month of July can have a huge impact on the future of the organization. [...]

My personal opinions on the sport of Boxing and the events that occurred this past Saturday….

What the hell happened this Saturday? Did the judges really give Bradley the win over Pacquiao? [...]

Lets Vote Chicago!! It’s that time of the year again. The 2012 MLB All-Star game is a little over a month away and it is time to vote for your favorite players. Although Chicago is an enormous city, Chicago’s baseball players do not win the voting contest too often. This is a problem. As fans, Chicago needs to support its players. It is always great to see Chicago players in the starting line-up during the summer classic. [...]

Doesn’t matter whether you are a Cubs or Sox fan, when you tune in to the game, you are watching the same team. Thus far, both teams are playing below .500 baseball. Not that there was much hope for either team, but both teams seem destined to finish below or right around .500.  As a fan, it has already been a roller-coaster ride.  We see signs of hope for a few games, then all the sudden we are disgusted with our team.

Will we see a day in which every Chicago sports team will play during a postseason during the same year? It sure seems that way. Chicago fans will have a lot to cheer for in a few years. It doesn’t matter what sport you enjoy watching, there will be post season play in the near future. [...]

We are just about two weeks into the 2012 MLB baseball season and it is already a good season.  Thus far we have seen both the Yankees and Red Sox get swept, Detroit and Arizona were undefeated for the first few games, extra inning games, Ace pitchers get knocked around and much more.  It looks like 2012 will be a good season, but not for all teams. [...]

Opening Day is less than two weeks away. Soon we will all be in front of a t.v. or radio, or even at a stadium watching our favorite team. As a Cubs fan, I am really looking forward to this season. [...]

Really? There is an NBA Player that doesn’t want to play in Chicago? What is wrong with this guy?  You probably know who I’m talking about by now.  If not, I’m referring to D. Howard! I have the utmost respect for this man, but I can’t understand why he wouldn’t want to play in Chicago. Seriously?  [...]

 The MLB and Players Association have agreed to allow one extra team per league to make the playoffs every year. What does this mean for the MLB? How does it impact us as fans? Well, as fans, the chances of our team making the playoffs have now increased. As for the MLB, we will have to wait and see. [...]
