New Owner…Same Results?
The last three years have seen the Chicago Cubs ascend from laughingstock to “relatively good” baseball team. Even in last year’s disappointing finish, they still finished above .500 for the third straight season. Of course, in true Cubs fashion, that’s resulted in a whopping zero playoff wins. Now with a new owner running the show in the North Side, will anything change for the Cubbies moving forward?

Tap the keg on another foamy mediocre season. The Milwaukee Brewers are the perennial middle of the road team in the National League Central.

Yo Ho Yo Ho, a last place life for me. There are a few things in baseball that go under appreciated; the Pittsburgh Pirates 17 year losing streak is one of them.
