In a recent interview, ESPN Chicago’s Bruce Levine admitted that he may have “jumped the gun” when he said that a Milton Bradley trade would be announced in three or four days (a week or two ago). But it does seem that the chatter is picking up concerning a Bradley trade, and the potential trade [...]

Bruce Miles Looks At the Cubs Pitchers
October 8, 2009 – 8:59 am
Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald is looking at the Cubs current roster to see what we might expect for next year. He looked at the position players previously. Today he looks at the pitchers. The Cubs pitching staff is in pretty good shape for next year. Starter Carlos Zambrano, Ted Lilly, Ryan Dempster, and [...]
Cubs Lose Heartbreaker to Cardinals
September 19, 2009 – 7:58 am
The Cubs game against the Cardinals started out good, but ended horribly for the northsiders. In the first inning, the Cubs scored two runs off of John Smoltz on consecutive doubles by Kosuke Fukudome, Derrek Lee, and Aramis Ramirez. Unfortunately, that was all of the offense the Cubs could muster all night. The Cardinals tied [...]
Cubs Wild Card Hopes Stay Alive
August 31, 2009 – 8:00 am
The Cubs are 10.0 games behind the Cardinals in the NL Central and all but mathematically eliminated. However, there is still a glimmer of hope in the Wildcard race. The Cubs are currently 5.5 games behind Colorado, who has lost five games in a row, and San Francisco, who swept the Rockies over the weekend. [...]
Cubs Lose 10-1 to Phillies
July 21, 2009 – 7:39 am
My hope was that the Cubs would cruise into Philly riding high on their four game sweep of the Nationals and promptly sweep the World Champion Phillies. Instead, they swaggered into Philly and promptly got thumped 10-1. It was an ugly game, from Ted Lilly giving up seven earned runs in four innings (maybe his knee [...]
More Injuries For The Cubs
July 18, 2009 – 8:05 am
The Cubs beat the Nationals last night 3-1 behind the pitching of Carlos Zambrano and a surpringly effective bullpen. Zambrano went five innings scattering four hits, allowed one run, struck out six and walked four. He was effective, but had he been facing a team other than Washington, the results may have been different. Beginning [...]
Cubs Score Two!…But Still Lose
May 25, 2009 – 8:21 am
The Cubs offense really came alive on Sunday in San Diego by doubling their output from the previous day. By scoring two runs (yeah, that’s all) in a 7-2 lose to the Padres, the Cubs raised their run production to five runs during their seven game road trip. Certainly not a good performance for one [...]
Cubs Get Lucky
May 17, 2009 – 10:08 am
The Cubs got lucky on Saturday. Going in to the ninth inning, the Cubs had a 4-0 lead over Roy Oswalt and the Houston Astros. In his second Major League start, Randy Wells pitched six strong (albeit adventurous) innings and had shut-out the Astros to that point. Micah Hoffpauir led the way offensively with a 2-run [...]
