Closure on Closer
The Cubs have chosen a closer! Kevin Gregg will be headed to the mound 9th innings this season. Carlos Marmol took a close second in the competition for the job. Again. Marmol played a great season last year, where he led the majors among relievers in the number of strikeouts thrown. He was very disappointed, […]

Koskie Finished
Corey Koskie decided that his comeback wasn’t worth it to him any longer. He had been injured in 2006 with a concussion and wasn’t playing in the big leagues since then. He had decided he wanted to try a comeback in the game, because he enjoys it so much. He said he felt good for […]

Piniella Annoyed Again
Lou Piniella has become a Chicago favorite, coming out once in awhile with some upset-sounding rants and such like. He’s pretty upset now. In the Cactus League this year, the team started off winning 4 in a row, but they’ve lost the last six. They will be playing the Royals today and that might be […]

Winning the Division
When you think about the Cubs, you don’t usually think of the team being winners of the Division. But taking a wider look at the division makes you need to ask questions about whether any of these other teams could do that. The Brewers were the best chance at keeping the Cubs out of it […]

No Games for Milton Bradley
Milton Bradley will be keeping the bench warm for the next little while. He left a preseason game last week with tightness in his thigh and may not be back for a little while. We’re wanting to see if he will be back soon, but the team doesn’t seem to be concerned. Apparently, the most […]
