Random Fire For July 9th
The Cubs have signed their 1st round draft pick, Albert Almora, along with almost all of their draft picks, at least through the 1st 20 rounds or so. I think it is safe to say that the arrow is finally pointing up for the Cubs after a few down years lately. Anthony Rizzo, Starlin Castro,…

2012 National League All Stars?
Since Bud Selig allowed the Fox executives to strong arm him into making the All Star Game count for something, the fans should no longer have the right to vote. Why should people that might have seen 2 games so far this season have a voice in choosing the lineups that will determine home field…

Kerry Wood’s Place in Cubs history?
