Hey man

Would really appreciate it if you could take the time to read my latest article. I think that while we live in the FA craze, sometimes it is easy to forget that re-building from within is a very real possibility and sometimes preferable. Here are some of the guys the Cubs fans should be paying attention to:

New Chicago Sports site ....www.chicitysports.com...is looking for writers. Dedicated writers who want their work to be featured on our site need to check this out. The site features news/updates for all Chicago area teams. So far we're looking for writers for the Bears, Cubs, White Sox, Bulls, and Blackhawks. Your work is good so I hope you decide to give it a look....if you are a die-hard fan of any chicago team...you'll dig this.

With each big name that is leaked to steroid use, America's most hated player is slowly becoming its most trusted. The biggest names in baseball are falling subject to steroid use.

My latest article is about the evolution of a quiet kid from Spokane to a man on a mission in the Cubs minor league system. I hope you enjoy reading it as much I did writing it.

This is a piece that I'm really quite happy with. A lot of people know a lot about the Chicago Cubs, sometimes the early history does not game as much publicity as it perhaps should. In the first of a four part series, i take a look at the very early stages of Chicago Cubs history, from it's establishment in 1870. Would greatly appreciate feedback on this particular piece of work:

Hey,

After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!
