At this point in the season, the Cubs aren’t playing for much.  Being the consumate professionals that they are, they’ll still have an impact on who makes the playoffs by winning some games now and then.  And this week, the Cubs put a road block in front of the Astros and pushed them down a […]

The Phillies continue to struggle, and the more they drop in the standings, the more it looks like they should be sellers at the trade deadline and start over next year.  They’re now seven games below .500 and there’s only four teams worse in the National League.  They were 22-15 on May 15th and since […]

All good things come to an end, but boy did the Angels need that nice stretch.  The A’s won, so we’re now a game and a half back, tied with the Rangers.
On Monday, Dustin Moseley made his first career start and picked up the win.  He wasn’t particularly sharp, but the Angels brought their bats […]

My name is Aaron Maxwell, and yes, this is another Cubs blog.  There’s a lot of good ones out there, but I had to throw my hat in the mix for more reasons then just interest in the team.  I lived in Northern Michigan and we had a unique family.  My dad grew up in […]

Alright, the Phillies have now won two straight series but it could be too little too late.  The Braves have caught us and the Marlins are nipping at our heels.  It’s time to make a move or give things up.  And that would include ditching Charlie Manual.
On Friday, Ryan Howard had a nice game despite […]

Alright, the only thing that could have made this sweeter was if the Red Sox would have done a little better against the A’s.  The Angels moved up half a game in the AL West, and for the first time in a while, they’re above .500.  Things are looking up and to make it better, […]

As a regular buyer of Chicago Cubs tickets I am disappointed by the fact that we are ranked 5th in the NL central division. I was very happy to disappoint those with St Louis Cardinals tickets in our 4-0 home series victory in late July. It certainly made up for my buying Washington Nationals tickets […]

Not only are the Angels out of the cellar, but they’ve made up some ground.  They now stand only two games back of both the Athletics and the Rangers and they now sit only two games below .500.  They get an extra day off, and then Friday the Angels start a three game series with […]

The only thing that could have made this better would have been the Tigers sweeping Oakland.  Regardless, we’re back in the mix.  Jeff Weaver is out of picture, at least for the time being, and the rotation is where I like it.  The Angels have won five straight, but the big series is this weekend […]

I know they play in different cities, but at one time, they played in the same stadium.  Regardless, the Angels won the final two games of their series with the Dodgers and we now stand five games back of the first place A’s.  And we have some tough series coming up against some division opponents […]
