Congratulations to Jay of Bush League Times for hitting the big-time. In case you missed it, Bush League Times was featured on ESPN's Blog Buzz on Thursday. Here's his pithy comment that elevated him, like cream, to the top.
"Now Bradley would have us believe that the umpires get together to perfect their conspiracy of a .186 hitter? Has it occurred to Bradley that maybe, as a .186 hitter, he doesn't have the unparalleled knowledge of the strike zone that he thinks he has?"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Mark Buehrle & Derrek Lee Unveil Charity Wines
CROSSTOWN BASEBALL RIVALS TEAM UP FOR CHARITY
Two
local baseball heroes have teamed up with Charity Wines to raise some
big league dollars for some very worthy causes. The North Side will be
represented by slugging first baseman Derrek Lee while the South Side
will feature mainstay ace pitcher Mark Buehrle. These men join a strong
group of stand-up athletes across the country to launch wine labels in
the name of charity. 100% of their proceeds go directly to the charity
of the player's choosing.
- Derrek Lee's
CaberLee wine benefits his 1st Touch Foundation, which
creates opportunities, positive change, and hope for our youth striving
to overcome challenges beyond their control.
-
Mark Buehrle's Buerhlot wine benefits the Hope Rescues animal shelter
in Alton, Illinois. Mark has been active with organizations helping
animals for the majority of his career and has recently become more
involved with the Hope Rescues shelter.
The
names CaberLee and Buehrlot are word plays on varietals Cabernet
Sauvignon and Merlot, and are California appellations. They are
expected to retail for about $13 a bottle. Both went on sale to
retailers this week, and will be available to the general public
beginning in June throughout the Chicago area wherever wine is sold,
and online at www.charitywines.com.
We have a new Cubs blog that is going to be active during this upcoming season. Would appreciate a link or a review at Cubs Blog Army some point if you have a slot.
Thanks,
Knup

Here's another new blog that got going over the offseason. If you're new to the Cubs Blogging Scene for 2009, shoot me an email and I'll plug your site!
I wanted to let you know that I have started a new "serious" Cubs blog called Bleacher Nation (www.bleachernation.com). I really enjoy doing the parody article thing at The Cubs Brickyard, but at the same time, I'm itching to do some serious articles and try out some new things that just wouldn't work at The Brickyard.
So as for what Bleacher Nation is all about...
Bleacher Nation provides "insightful, analytical, and humorous Cubs commentary." Just kidding. Yes, in large part, it'll be like most of the other Cubs blogs out there: we'll report the news, give our thoughts, try to be funny and interesting while we do it, and then show unnecessary but lovely pictures of hot chicks. Though that will be the bulk of what we do, something a little different is that we plan on also covering the "Cublogoverse," itself. So not only is Bleacher Nation the place to find news, rumors and gossip about the Cubs, it's also the place to find news, rumors and gossip about the blogs that love them.
Thanks so much for considering Bleacher Nation for inclusion in the Army (and for including The Brickyard).

I want my blog to keep Cubs fans up to date each and every day throughout the year on all Cubs rumors, new, ect. I will write recaps of all radio interviews and talk about the Cubs such as Sports Central on WGN Radio and Talking Baseball on ESPN 1000. I will collect all Cubs rumors from different sources and present them in one spot. I'm new at blogging and would like to just work my way up. - Brandon
