Theriot talking some trash
Former Cubs infielder Ryan Theriot has been traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the St. Louis Cardinals, the Cubs' most hated rivals. As if that wasn't enough, Theriot, who was a fan favorite when he was here in Chicago, commented that he was "finally on the right side of the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry." (CSNChicago.com)

Dwight Howard mocks Cardinals QB Derek Anderson

The video of Derek Anderson's meltdown following the team's loss to the 49ers on Monday night has gone viral on the internet and now a fellow pro athlete is mocking the Cardinals QB.

Bears to face third-string QB Sunday

The Detroit Lions, already down starting quarterback Matthew Stafford who is out with a shoulder injury, just got news Tuesday that they will also be without backup QB Shaun Hill for Sunday and possibly even for the remainder of the year. Hill has a broken index finger on his throwing hand, leaving third-string signal-caller Drew Stanton as the de facto starter Sunday against the Bears. It marks the second time in the past three weeks that Chicago will face a third-string QB, after having already shut out Miami and No. 3 QB Tyler Thigpen on Thursday night football two weeks ago.

However, it's still not impossible for Putz to come back to the South Side. (CSNChicago.com)

Dunn seeking 4-year, 60 million deal

Free agent first baseman Adam Dunn's agent announced Tuesday that bidding for the power hitter's services will start at four years for 60 million. Both the Cubs and Sox currently need a first baseman, and both squads are looking for more pop from the left side of the plate. Unfortunately, both teams are also trying to budget their money, so Dunn's announcement may take Chicago out of the running in the sweepstakes. (Chicago Tribune)

Greinke to the Yankees?

The White Sox would love that, as they wouldn't have to worry about potentially facing Kansas City's ace hurler six times a year. However, it is just a rumor at this point. Though Greinke has a no-trade clause, a source close to the young ace said he would happily pitch for any winning team.

I wouldnt put it past him to go to New York, the source said. I dont think hed rule out anybody. He says he likes New York. Especially because theyre winners. He wants to go to a team that wins." (Yahoo! Sports)
