I think Bruce Miles has grown tired of the rumors that say that Rudy Jaramillo’s hiring as hitting coach is an indication that Milton Bradley is going to be back with the Cubs in 2010. Miles says, “Not tue.” Actually, I’m putting those words in his mouth, but in a recent post on his blog, he [...]

Cubs Discussing Trade With Tampa Bay
October 9, 2009 – 6:51 am
Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that the Cubs are trying to put together a “quick deal” with the Tampa Bay Rays that would send troubled outfielder Milton Bradley to Tampa Bay in exchange for OF/DH Pat Burrell. Tampa Bay had an interest in signing Bradley last offseason, but were not willing [...]
Cubs Fire Hitting Coach
October 5, 2009 – 8:17 am
As soon as the final out of the final game was recorded (a loss to the D-Backs), the Cubs fired their hitting coach, Von Joshua. Joshua had been brought in mid-year to replace Gerald Perry. In an article by Phil Rogers of the Chicago Tribune, Jim Hendry is quoted as saying Joshua didn’t do anything [...]
A Bittersweet Time of Year
October 4, 2009 – 9:25 am
A love fall. I really enjoy summer, but I think the fall is my favorite season of the year. The temperatures are still comfortable, but the summer humidity is gone out of the air. It’s a great time to be outside, whether attending a baseball or football game, or just doing yard work. One of [...]
What To Do With Milton Bradley?
September 26, 2009 – 3:09 pm
With Milton Bradley suspended for the remainder of the season, the question now becomes, what can the Cubs do with him? They obviously would like to trade the troubled outfielder, but who would be willing to take him and the $21 million he is still owed? And if they trade him, who can the Cubs [...]
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 [...]
Are The Cubs Falling Out of Contention?
August 13, 2009 – 7:21 am
There is no joy in Mudville this morning. The Cubs were beaten to a bloody pulp last night by the Phillies 12-5. Honestly, the game wasn’t as close as the score would indicate. You can read Carrie Muskat’s recap of the game from MLB.com. I’d just as soon not talk about it. ********** As upset [...]
Zambrano Added to Cubs Disabled List
August 9, 2009 – 10:04 am
The Cubs beat the Rockies Saturday night to tie the series with Colorado at one game apiece. But the biggest news was the addition of Carlos Zambrano to the 15-day disabled list for the Cubs. As you may recall, Zambrano came out early in his last start against Cincinnati with back spasms, but blamed the [...]
Cubs Offense Takes The Night Off
August 6, 2009 – 10:24 am
The Cubs offense decided to take a break last night as they lost to the Cincinnati Reds 4-0. The offense made journeyman Reds pitcher Justin Lehr look like a potential Cy Young candidate. The 32-year old right hander got his first major league victory since 2006 by pitching a complete game, four hit shutout. Rich [...]
