Eloy Jimenez should be Cubs RF in 2014

In Commentary And Analysis by dmick8918 Comments

Why? Because it seems like it's the thing to do with some people. Just throw out a name of some prospect who is doing well and say, for god knows why, that he should be with the Cubs in 2014. At least two idiots have suggested Kris Bryant open the 2014 season with the Cubs. This idiotic idea was brought …

Chicago 17, Carolina 24

The Bears had their first preseason game. Honestly, I'm calling it a win, because no one really got injured. Henry Melton had a concussion, but he's just day to day.
