Zuba: 2012? Somebody Make It Stop

Zuba: Rizzo’s Call Up The First Step In Long Journey

Instead of flying in as Superman, Rizzo understands his call up is just the first step of many in the master plans laid out by Epstein and Hoyer to turn the Cubs from laughable losers into perennial champions.

Zuba: This Wasn’t Supposed To Happen

It’s minutes after the Bulls defeated the 76ers, earning a win in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs, yet no one is smiling.

Zuba: Forte Saying All The Wrong Things

Forte’s downfall was when he let his internal frustrations become external outbursts. The backlash from that single Tweet has painted Forte as a greedy, selfish player, discontent with the roughly 1,400% raise he was offered.

Zuba: Do Whatever It Takes To Land Howard
