There’s always hope for the Cubbies

By Mark Myre/WJEZ Sports Being a lifetime Cubs fan, this series doesn’t surprise me. Playoff baseball is simple – it’s all about pitching. The series shows great New York arms, with young Cubs making a lot of mistakes. It’s not over until it’s over, but it doesn’t look good for the Cubs. I would hope…MORE

Legendary tailgating

Mark Myre/WJEZ Sports I have heard about the world famous tailgating at Miller Park, but now I have experienced it.
