Matt Abbatacola
Matt Abbatacola has been the Executive Producer of “The Boers and Bernstein Show” since 2003. He joined the station as a production intern in 2001.
Abbatacola: Blame Tom Ricketts
Oh, poor Tom Ricketts. All he wants to do his fix his broken toy and the big bad politicians of Chicago won’t let him.
Abbatacola: God Favors The ‘Hawks
For my entire adult life, I believed God was too busy to be concerned with sports.
Abbatacola: The Hall Of Fame Sucks
I absolutely hate Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame voting.
Abbatacola: Penn State, Do The Right Thing
Penn State officials have the opportunity to speak for the victims of the Jerry Sandusky child-sex scandal. PSU must make the changes.
Abbatacola: Walk Away, Cubs Fans
I am giving you permission to “take a break” from your team. How long? You should walk away for as long as you need.
Abbatacola: Aramis Ramirez Deserved Better From Fans
When Aramis Ramirez came back to Chicago for the first time since leaving for the Milwaukee Brewers and a 3-year, $36 million contract, I expected him to receive a warm welcome from Cubs fans.
Abbatacola: Can Zambrano Come Back?
The topic of Carlos Zambrano came up during Mike Quade’s pre-game gab fest with the media.
Quade: ‘I’m Going To Be Back’
Mike Quade sat in the home dugout at Wrigley and met with the media for the last time in 2011 and maybe for the last time as the Cubs’ manager.
Abbatacola: Ramirez Out With Quad Strain
By Matt Abbatacola- CHICAGO (WSCR) – Aramis Ramirez left Tuesday night’s game in the sixth inning with a mile right quad strain. The Cubs’ third baseman hit a grounder to shortstop, Yuniesky Betancourt, and was [...]
Abbatacola: Good Times At The Old Ball Park
With the end of a 4th place season (thanks Pittsburgh) just around the corner, why is there a party going on at Wrigley?
Abbatacola: Cubs Wasting Away In Wrigleyville
The Cubs have six home games remaining in the 2011 season. If you plan on coming out to a game, don’t expect to see anything different from their first 75 contests at Wrigley Field – bad baseball, cold beer, and an overly optimistic manager who is still trying to win something this year.
Abbatacola: Don’t Expect Much From September Call-Ups
Mike Quade has a tough road ahead in trying to find the proper balance of winning and developing unproven talent that may affect the organization’s future.
Abbatacola: Quade Explains Cubs’ 2nd Half Success
The Cubs are 14-8 in August having won five of the six series that they have played. Today they go for the split against a 78-53 team, Atlanta.
Abbatacola: For Ramirez, It’s Business As Usual
Aramis Ramirez is the hottest hitter in baseball over the last 12 games – batting .563 with 14 RBI.
Abbatacola: Quade, One Year Later
It was one year ago when Mike Quade took control of the Cubs as they beat the Washington Nationals en route to a 24-13 record to finish the 2010 season.
Abbatacola: Castro Gets A ‘Mental Day’ Off
By Matt Abbatacola- CHICAGO (WSCR) – Chicago Cubs manager Mike Quade gave his star shortstop a ‘mental day’ off and kept him out of the lineup against the Atlanta Braves Monday. Despite Castro’s All-Star season and [...]
Abbatacola: Right Move, Wrong Time
Tom Ricketts confuses me. I want to believe that he is a smart business man and will grow into a great owner in baseball, but sometimes he makes decisions that raise more questions than provide answers.
Abbatacola: It’s All About The Pitching
By Matt Abbatacola- CHICAGO (CBS) Lately, the Cubs have looked like the team that Tom Ricketts, Jim Hendry, and Mike Quade envisioned when they began the 2011 season. They hit ten home runs in the final three [...]
Abbatacola: Zambrano Battles In Victory
The Cubs needed some help to win at home against Houston and thankfully, the Astros were happy to provide it. Zambrano earned his 7th win on the season as the Cubs defeated Houston 4-2.
Abbatacola: All Eyes On Wells
Randy Wells needs a strong outing when he takes the mound on Saturday against the Houston Astros.
