Sosa to be a Cub? Again?

 
According to a Dominican newspaper, Sammy Sosa has expressed a desire to come back to the major leagues for the 2009 season. He hasn’t played for several years and has been out of the game for awhile. In his last few years in the major leagues, he was traded around several times, from Baltimore, to […]

Cubs World Standstill

 
Basing off of the Cubs’ official website, there’s not a whole lot going on in Cub Country. You can check out the site and be reminded of how they posted the best record and then got swept in the playoffs, or you can check out the much more interesting video of Zambrano throwing a no […]

A ticket you gotta have!

 
The Yankees are trying to confuse us!  They have decided to sell many of their home opener tickets at 1923 prices, as a way to harken back to the opening day of the first Yankee Stadium. Bleacher seats will cost 25 cents and grandstand seats will cost $1.10. The other tickets will cost roughly the […]

Wrigley Ice Arena

 
Despite problems with a zamboni (including frozen brakes, and the zamboni falling off the truck while unloading), the construction of the Winter Classic ice rink in Wrigley field is already 2 days ahead of schedule.

Although Kerry Wood was released from the Chicago Cubs roster weeks ago, he has finally been picked up by another team. The Cleveland Indians recently signed Wood to be their closer. Apparently Cleveland hasn’t watched any of his footage over the past few years and doesn’t realize that he’s as prone to injury as a […]

Cubs sale problems

Remember about a year ago when the Tribune Company wanted to sell the Cubs’ stadium, Wrigley Field? Well, this is where politics and sports come together. There was a raid on the house of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich in which he was arrested and then the state’s attorney’s office released a report about what the […]

Lefty Wanted

 
The big Winter meetings are approaching and Cubs GM Jim Hendry is looking to secure a left-handed hitter to add to the batting lineup. The preliminary ideas right now circling through the Cubs organization is to move Kosuke from right field into center, and fill his gap with a new left handed batter. A lefty […]

Buy some Cubs, save some bucks

Offers to buy up the Cubs were due yesterday. By the time the deadline came around, there were several more offers than we’d seen before. The original offer, by a man who has been rather strongly discredited in the last month or so, has been outbid by a whole bunch of other guys. Mark Cuban, […]
