For the last two days, I’ve been looking at what the Cubs offseason will likely look like. In Part 1 I looked at the infield, Part 2 the outfield. Here’s where you can find those two posts: A Look At The Offseason (Part 1 – Infield) A Look At The Offseason (Part 2 – Outfield) Today, [...]

What If Milton Bradley Won’t Leave?
October 6, 2009 – 7:24 am
We’ve all been assuming that Milton Bradley is going to be traded in the offseason, but what if he’s not? What if no one wants him or what if the Cubs decide that they don’t want to or can’t afford to eat a large chunk of his contract? What then? Carrie Muskat from MLB.com broached [...]
Zambrano Threatens to Retire
September 29, 2009 – 7:36 am
Carlos Zambrano pitched a brilliant two-hit shutout against the Giants last Friday and was then asked why he can’t pitch like that all of the time. Zambrano’s answer was a little surprising. In an article written by Paul Sullivan of the Tribune, Zambrano explained that he doesn’t always feel the way he felt on Friday. [...]
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 [...]

The Cubs got down early in yesterday’s game thanks to three errors in the fourth inning. They came back to tied the game 5-5 in the 7th inning, only to have Carlos Marmol allow two runs in the 9th to hand the game to the Reds. If Marmol is the heir-apparent to the closers role [...]
Cubs Glad To Be In Pittsburgh
September 8, 2009 – 6:59 am
There’s nothing like beating a last place team to raise your spirits. The Cubs took care of business against the last place Pirates in Pittsburgh yesterday by a score of 4-2. Derrek Lee continued his hot hitting ways with two homeruns and three of the four Cubs RBI. Lee now has 31 homeruns on the [...]
Cubs Lose, Cards Win, Future Looks Bleak
August 18, 2009 – 7:44 am
It was bad enough that the Cubs lost and the Cardinals won. That was bad enough. But the way the Cubs lost was like being cut open and having salt poured into the wound. It was that painful. Ted Lilly returned from the DL to pitch 6.0 innings of four hit, no run baseball. It [...]
