Come Out To Mesa And Cheer On The Cubs!
The Mesa Cubs are one of the Chicago Cubs' minor league teams, playing in Fitch Park, which is just south of HoHoKam Park in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix. The Cubs have trained in Mesa for the last 10 years, so they've got a ton of fans over there. Perhaps more than the Diamondbacks do....

TNT Is Thinking Ahead
In about two-and-a-half hours, the 2007 Major League Baseball postseason will begin. As you know, all games will be on TBS, which is why we have strange start times like 3 p.m. ET and 6:30 p.m. ET. We thought this would be a problem. But TBS is off to a good start....
