Cubs interested in Matt Garza?

After taking one Ray out of the water in Tampa Bay, the Cubs might be adding another soon. According to reports, the Cubs are one of four teams interested in Rays right-handed starting pitcher Matt Garza in exchange for a package of prospects.

Garza, 27, posted a 3.91 ERA with 6.6 strikeouts per nine innings in 2010. Garza could earn over 6 million in arbitration for 2011, but is under team control through 2013. (mlbtraderumors.com)

Adam Burish still feels at home in Chicago

Despite playing for the Dallas Stars now, Adam Burish remains a believer - and fan - of the Chicago Blackhawks.

"To me, just watching the games, it's there," said Burish, who spent four seasons with the Blackhawks before signing with Dallas as a free agent this past summer. "They still have what it takes to win a bunch of games. It won't be long before they're back to where they expect to be and they'll start running again."

"I don't think it's true," he said. "I just think they've played so many games early on. I don't think it has any effect, what happened last year. I just think they have played a lot of games, and that's hard."

Also hard for Burish was heading to the visiting locker room at the United Center. In fact, when he arrived at the building Tuesday, Burish walked right into a Chicago meeting that was about to start and started chatting with his former teammates. (nhl.com)

D.J. Moore impressed by Tom Brady... at least off the field

Tom Brady has had an extremely successful career on the field, winning three Super Bowls already, but there's one thing that's caught the eye of cornerback D.J. Moore.

His choice in women, Moore said.

Brady dated and had a child with actress Bridget Moynahan and is now married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen, the highest-paid model in the world at one time. Moore, himself single, was informed that Bundchen has sisters (five, in fact). He declines the matchmaking assistance. (CSNChicago.com)
