Bako is Backo

Paul Bako, who played catcher for the Cubs a few years ago, is back with the team! He has signed with the team for 750,000 dollars plus up to 300,000 in bonuses based on the number of games that he plays in. The main reason for him to join was that he has a left […]

Not So Fast

The sale of the Cubs isn’t way off target. It’s also not final yet. Apparently, the sale will have to be reviewed by a bankruptcy judge before it will be able to go through. This is part of the Cubs’ bankruptcy filing that happened several months ago and they want to check it out, just […]

Chicago Cubs: Bought

The Chicago Cubs have reportedly been bought out, as expected. The Ricketts Family has apparently purchased the team for $900 million, which is an amazing amount of money. Just thinking of how long it would take the normal person, even in a normal economy, to make this amount, is hard to fathom. Many many years, […]

Easy as Pie

Felix Pie is gone. He used to be the best prospect in the Chicago Cubs’ farm system, a couple years ago anyway, but he never really made an impact on the team. Pie was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for pitchers Garrett Olson and Henry Williamson, Williamson coming from the minor leagues. Now that we’re […]

Marshall, Number 5

 
Cubs reliever Sean Marshall is aiming his prospects at becoming the number 5 pitcher in the starting rotation. However, the Cubs management feels he may be too valuable as a reliever to give up. Additionally, he will hve some heavy competition at that number 5 spot, with regards to Chad Gaudin, Jeff Samardzija and Angel […]

Cubs Convention Etc

The Cubs Convention will be starting soon and it’s always a lot of fun to get back into the feel of the baseball season with the team meeting up again. It’s hard to believe we’ve almost come all the way around again to another MLB season. A secondary note that I have here is that […]

They’ve Found A Lefty…and Righty

 
The Cubs may have found the balance they need in the middle of the order when they recently signed switch hitter Milton Bradley to a 3-year, $30 million contract. Bradley is expected to be a much better hitter than Fukudome, who struggled in his first year with the Cubs. Moving him over to Center field […]

DeRosa Subrosa

Mark DeRosa has been moved out of Chicago. The Cubs had been looking for some way to get him out for a little while now and here he goes. To Cleveland. DeRosa had a great year in Chicago last season, playing for something like six different positions, wherever needed really. And he also had his […]

Wrigley A Hit

 
The results are in and Wrigley Field was a hit yesterday for the NHL’s second annual Winter Classic. Unfortunately for Chicago fans, the Blackhawks weren’t. After taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the first period of play, the Hawks were unable to sustain the lead and ultimately fell 6-4.
