The Whole Delivery

(Mike Scioscia's photo from Charles Krupa/AP; Amramis Ramirez Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo of Chicago Tribune) Tomorrow on The Whole Delivery, a few perspective into the painful offseason that will be endured by both Cubs and Angles fans, as once again, the team with home field advantage going into postseason play in their leagues fails to capitalize on their tremendous regular season efforts, instead receiving humiliating first round exits. Plus, heading into tomorrow's second presidential debate, Tom Brokaw has been roundly criticized amongst the "left" community, and rightly so, for his disturbing bias towards the Republican Party in this election season, and in particular, John McCain. So with that, we will analyze whether Brokaw is setting himself to tarnish any legacy in the journalism world with an erratic performance as moderator in tomorrow's debate. In addition, we shall have, for the Boston Black Student Network folks, the recap of Holladay 2008 and highligh...

Sorry Cubs fans guess there will be one more "Wait Til next year" (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh) By James Eddy I am going to apologize to all Chicago Cubs fans, or maybe ESPN should apologize for making Cub fans everywhere believe there team was going to win the World Series.

When the Cubs did face adversity, they received help from the strangest places. When the Cubs were thin at outfield they got help from veteran outfielder Jim Edmonds who was released by the San Diego Padres (who missed the playoffs) earlier in the season. When it seemed that ace Carlos Zambrano was goi...

The polls sometimes don't lie. And thankfully, that seems to be the case right now (although we can never be too sure with these news organizations). The momentum of this election is shifting, and the ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden are on the verge of a landslide of things continue on their current form. And this turn of events, from a neck and neck race ("The polls are getting tight" was the tired cliche phrase you heard for the last three months) to now, isn't even primarily because of them. As we have highlighted all week, conservatives from the sad sight that is the John McCain/Sarah Plain ticket to right wing talking heads blaming Blacks and Latinos for the economy's horrible state that their corrupt policies have put us in, this is turning uglier and uglier as the lead grows wider and wider because of the SOP's obnoxious ways starting to fully be on display. And even both welcoming and alarming at the same time is the fact that the polls and the ne...
