Randy Wells has been one of the surprise players on the team this year. Yesterday, as you might not have expected, Wells pitched 8 shutout innings, leading his team to a 12-0 win against the Houston Astros. This keeps the Cubs within a half game of the Central Division leading Cardinals. Now that the Cubs […]

That was fast! The Cubbies are on top of the Central Division now. It’s been a long time coming, but somehow the team is finally moving up on their work. It’s been a very tough season for them so far, with injuries and sideshows being silly all this time. There will be more time for […]

This year’s trade deadline is coming up in the next week and we’re hoping that the team might make a big move. We know that the Cubs are in need of some better hitting. Unfortunately, this year there seems to be a lot of pitching in the trading world and not a lot of hitting. […]

The Chicago Tribune has reportedly finalized the sale of the Cubs to the Ricketts family for about $900 million. The two had been in negotiations for a long time because of problems at both ends. They couldn’t agree on broadcast rights, the Ricketts couldn’t get the financing they had anticipated, the Tribune wasn’t sure if […]

The Cubs have been struggling and we have been chronicling it this whole time. Here we are, though, looking back on a decent series against the unfortunate Pittsburgh Pirates. We are looking to some of our minor leaguers from Iowa to keep the team in the hunt. Last night, Randy Wells threw seven outstanding innings, […]
