So Far So Good
The Chicago Cubs have been winning the games of spring training so far. We’ve only played two games so far and we have won two in a row. It’s a little confusing because so many different players have played in these games. There may be as many as 60 different possible players, though most of […]

Winning?
Apparently, the Cubs are going to win the pennant. This, being said before a single exhibition game has been played. Before anything has been decided. Not that you can’t have an idea before the games begin, but it seems early. We don’t want to jinx it (again). But according to CNNSI, we have the best […]

We need closure!
The battle of who will be the closer now that Kerry Wood is not a Cub anymore (isn’t is strange?) is one of the biggest questions in the Cubs’ season this year. The two main candidates are Carlos Marmol and Kevin Gregg, a newcomer to Chicago. There are a lot pluses and minuses for either […]

Tickets!
This weekend, the Cubs single-game tickets finally went on sale. This means that you can go pick up some tickets for a great Cubs game, whether it’s in the spring now or off in the summertime.

New Team
The Chicago Cubs are going to look very different this coming year. There have been some big moves, including the departure of several long-time Cubs who are now at other teams, mainly in Cleveland. The Cubs have a bunch of new players and some still-unnamed transactions sitting in the docket. It’s kind of a tough […]

Ending As It Began
I just realized something. The Cubs begin their new year with a preseason game against the LA Dodgers. This is the same team that bumped them out of the playoffs last season! How interestingly appropriate that it came out that way. It’s going to be a good game, I’m sure. But since it is just […]

Hill Away
Rich Hill has been traded to the Orioles. The Orioles have been doing a lot of dealing with Chicago teams this year and so there are some good players moving around. Hill has been in the bullpen for awhile and he had a good 2007. 2008 wasn’t so kind to him. What do the Cubs […]
