As of today, the team batting average is a paltry .224. Only Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are worse. That ain't gonna get it done. Earlier this season, in a three game series at Pittsburgh, the Cubs scored 18 runs. So far in this three game series at Pittsburgh, they've scored 8 and that...

Being a Cub fan this year is quickly becoming a two edged sword. On one hand, they have led their division the entire season and should make the playoffs. On the other hand, they are the most anemic hitting team I've seen in a long time, getting shut out on a regular basis and seemingly leaving...

Lester obviously isn't what he was at his peak, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Cubs retain him. He is a tough minded individual and every team needs those

No problem. I didn't get a chance to watch all of his last start. Were the broadcasters saying he was retiring or just that his tenure with Cubs was over? I thought he had been pitching pretty well since he made some "adjustments."

Are you saying his "last" game at Wrigley? Maybe so. He won 76 games with the Cubs. Back when it seemed as though every move Epstein made for the Cubs turned out well, obtaining Lester was probably the best (with Arrieta being second). Ah, the good old days!

It really wasn't Warren's decision. If I remember correctly, the university presidents voted 11-3 to not have the college football season. Now I understand they will allow it to begin October 23rd-24th. Meanwhile, most other conferences are playing games. Pretty shortsighted, but university...

Don't mean to pile on Joe W., but wasn't he projected to be on the B1G First Team in the preseason vote? Most improved player would definitely be the award I would like to see him win after this upcoming season.

A walk-off hit batsman victory!.....What's next?

Their only hope is that Darvish and Hendricks continue to excel and they can get a few decent starts from Lester, Mills, and a cast of 100's. Maybe Alzolay will provide some help. It would also help if Bryant returned to some semblance of the perennial All-Star player we were so excited about...

I admit to not following the Cubs as closely this season as I normally do. I have watched a handful of games, but when they ran out to a 13-3 start and the announcers kept talking about history, I knew they were playing with fool's gold. They've hung on to first place all season but now, when...

The kid would have to be deaf, dumb and blind to be unaware of all the baggage surrounding Pitino. Obviously it's his choice, but if you're that good, why bury your talent at Iona instead of on the national stage that is the B1G?

Just another body blow to Iowa. Expecting a worst one tomorrow.

We older Hawkeye fans have been waiting since 1979 for a team to actually win a B1G Basketball Championship (not a BTT Championship). I thought this team had an outside chance. Now, it looks as though we won't even get a shot.

Won't make much difference if other teams don't and we continue to have this happen over and over before the season even begins. Doesn't fare well for even having a college BB season this year. BTW, the '87 team, as good as they were, finished third in the conference that season. The 2015 and...

Didn't Lute's second wife take him to the cleaners in their divorce?

If nothing else, hopefully this repair will eliminate any pain he's experiencing and boost his confidence even further that the foot is sound and he's ready to go full speed ahead.

All of us older fans remember that great game he had against Kansas in Lawrence (ending their 62 game home winning streak) his senior year. Iowa got down by 18 in the second half and Kent pretty much shot us to victory, hitting four 3-pointers in the second half, including two down the stretch...

The 2001-02 Hawkeye team finished 19-16 and 8th (out of 11) in the conference. We wound up in the NIT losing to LSU in the first round. You're right. They had potential with Recker, Evans, Worley, Pierce, etc, but I always think of them as just another one of Alford's underperforming squads...

Just another negative result of having an administration that was too incompetent to protect it's population. And I don't want to hear about who else is to blame. Pretty much every country with intelligent leadership went through this same pandemic and have already come out the other side and...

Northside, really not trying to get into an argument with you, but the only skill set Kingsbury shared with Maravich was being a 6'5" SG. You are comparing an average college player with an honest to god basketball legend and Hall of Famer. Maravich averaged (!) 44 pts/game at LSU and still...
