Free the Daily Herald two
It’s not exactly news to say that newspapers are in trouble. Within a 10 day span last month, three papers that had each been in business for more than 130 years all went belly up. Papers are trying to cut costs as much as possible. Some are doing it more…

2009 Cubs Preview
Last summer we watched what we figured was the best Cubs team of our lifetimes. They could pitch, they could hit and they could actually field the baseball (well, not Theriot, but…). They won 97 games. They blew away the NL Central (which, everyone says is…
An open letter to Tom Ricketts (and family)
Dear Tom Ricketts (and your dad and your sister and whoever else is going to own the Cubs in a month or so), I see from credible reports (wait, Carrie wrote that? Oops.) that you and the Tribune Company are getting close to completing the first part of the sale of…
The all-steroid podcast
With everything going on in baseball, Andy and Kerm focus on the important things, like who played centerfield for the Astros in the Kerry Wood 20 strikeout game, which 2001 Diamondbacks are still getting paid by the team and how A-Rod was a quitter for stopping…

Podcast: Geovany, Jake and a slew of bad free agents
The offseason is really here and the podcast rolls on. Andy and Kerm fill the void with news of Geovany Soto’s rookie of the yearedness, the Cubs ill-fated attempt to trade for Jake Peavy and, they run down the long, sad list of free agents and try to figure…
Podcast: Somewhere in there is an NBA preview
This week’s edition of the podcast includes special guest, Yahoo! Sports NBA columnist Kelly Dwyer. Kelly and the guys were supposed to do an NBA season preview. Instead it’s basically 86 minutes of stories about Stacy King, Herm Winningham, Bob…
Podcast: World Series preview
Another exciting edition of the Podcast is in the books and this time we discuss Jim Hendry’s contract extension, break down the World Series and promote next week’s podcast when we actually have a guest who will talk about something other than baseball….
An open letter to TBS Sports
Dear TBS Sports, Why do you hate sports so much? What did it ever do to you? Did the Rafael Ramirez/Bruce Benedict Braves teams of the ’80s sour you so much on sports that you have to try to torture innocent baseball fans all over America? Because, to put it…
Podcast: Reliving the unbearable
As much fun as the podcasts have been this year, this one? Not so much. We got to pick through the wreckage that was the Cubs brief and spectacularly incompetent playoff run. So come on, enjoy it with us! Who wouldn’t want to spend 80 minutes of their…
