| Description: | Inspired by the Trib ads in the 80s featuring Mike Royko, called Tales from the Upper Deck. I spend a great deal of my time with other Cubs season ticket holders up in Aisle 424 of Wrigley Field. We mainly talk about the Cubs or baseball, but we will also diverge into other topics, so this blog will probably resemble the occasionally insightful and usually nonsensical rants of me and my summer family. But lets face it, it usually will come back around to the Cubs. |

A Vote You Can Believe In - Andre Dawson for HOF
Today, the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) released the names that are under consideration for election this year into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The player on the ballot who has come closest to induction without getting the 75% of the vote necessary is former Cub (and Expo and Marlin and Red Sox), Andre Dawson, who received 67% last year.

Cubs Hire Someone Else to Convince Us to Give Them More Money
I was wondering why I haven't received the annual letter from the Cubs that carefully explains why I should be happy with the team that excels at tearing the hearts out of its fans' chests and that I should hurry up and write them a check right f---ing now. But they have apparently been holding the letter back so that it could be crafted to fit i

No Third Year for Grabow
The Cubs got a bit of a jump on the official opening of the Hot Stove League by re-signing lefty reliever, John Grabow to a 2-year, $7.5 million deal. A lot of Cubs fans have greeted the news with the same amount of enthusiasm as one would expect from someone who won a dollar in the lottery. The consensus seems to be that we were all really hoping for the jackpot, but have to understand that getting that dollar back is better than nothing. I'm pretty pleased with the deal. First, decent lefty relievers aren't exactly easy to find on the market. Second, it is one less bullpen spot

Shock Jocks Are Apparently Unfunny in Any Language
This may be a bit confusing, but before we get to Sammy and the idiot radio-host, I want to make sure I credit everyone involved in bringing this story to my attention: First, I saw a tweet from the great Hugging Harold Reynolds blog, that was a re-tweet of The Big Lead, that led me to their blog post about Sammy. This post linked to a blog called Bob's B

Rex Grossman's Dad Has Stupid Advice For Bears
I'm not quite sure why we care anymore, but Rex Grossman's dad took a page out of Milton Bradley's mom's playbook and get into it with the city of Chicago via the media, but Fred Mitchell shares some thoughts by Dan Grossman as he rips on the Bears and their ability to develop a quarterback out of anyone including his son. "I believe that the NFL is a passing league,'' Dan Grossman said. "It has been for the last 20 years. Chicago continues to use the phrase, at least Lovie Smith co
