Pitcher prospect?

Jeremy Papelbon is a pitcher for one of the Cubs minor league teams.  In this winter baseball season with the minor league’s Waikiki team, Papelbon struck out 15 in 10 1/3 innings of work.  He also had a 3.48 ERA.  Not bad for someone drafted in the 19th round a couple years ago.  His family […]

Chicago Cubs Convention Jan 16-18

It seems a little early, doesn’t it?  It hasn’t even been a month since the Cubs lost to the Dodgers in the first round of the playoffs.  And already we’re writing about the Cubs Convention?  As the saying goes, “There’s always next year.”  This is why I write about the convention before this year’s winner […]

Dempster is eligible for free agency this offseason and the trade talk has already started. Keep up with all the latest news and visit […]

Chicago Cubs Deal…

Mark Cuban might just become the next Chicago Cubs owner. Maybe he will even be dubbed “Mark the Cub.” But right now, the deal is being worked over. Cuban is saying the current economic turmoil is delaying, but not stopping, the deal process. Maybe with Cuban at the helm, the Cubs will be […]

Hard time to be a Cubbie fan

Seeing the Chicago Cubs in the playoffs was exciting. It was something to be proud of as a Cubs fans. And it was though that this might actually be the year. But seeing the Cubs play the L.A. Dodgers like they did was disappointing. It really looked like the Cubs had no heart, no intention […]

Cubs Falter in Post-Season

Chicago Cubs and October don’t seem to mix. Being a Cubs fan has proved to be difficult this post-season, especially with the last two games against the L.A. Dodgers. The Dodgers destroyed the Cubs on their own Field in front of their own fans. The worst part is that there is nothing to dispute here; […]
