With most people giving up on the Cubs’ season, there are discussions about what the team should do in preparation for next season. There are a lot of people talking now about the possibility of them getting rid of Carlos Zambrano. Even though he’s only about a year away from his big no-hit game in […]

Milton Bradley came out with a complaint about the Wrigley Field fans who shout things at him. He suggested that some of those things are racists statements, though he didn’t give any particular examples of that. Bradley was expected to be one of the best players this year, but he hasn’t, by and large, delivered. […]

 
Dear Alfonso Soriano. We appreciate your “hustle.” We are happy that you haven’t hit a single homerun in August. We also appreciate your critique and helpful comments about making this team better. “Going to the playoffs two out of three years isn’t bad” with Piniella. Wait! It’s not over yet.

It does sound negative, but it’s hard to sound fully positive the way the Cubs have been playing lately. This is a team that has lost 10 of 14 and have gone from first in the central division to 6 games out. They aren’t a bad team, we’ve heard, but they can’t seem to get […]

The Chicago Cubs seem to be falling fast. This is funny, because it was just a week ago that they were in first place. But this week has been a rough week, because they two series against a couple of the best clubs in the country. The Phillies swept them with almost exclusively lopsided games […]

Although there weren’t too many injuries at the very beginning of the season, the Cubs have suddenly had to deal with a whole glut of injuries. The biggest injuries have been to the best pitchers. Zambrano is now on his second or third tour of duty on the DL. Harden has been out. Ryan Dempster […]

Koyie Hill will get a bit of a rest for the first time in 26 games. He’s been subbing in for Giovanney Soto, who’s been out with an injury over the last month or so. He’s done a great job too, with 28-17 record this season with Hill behind the plate. Soto will probably have […]

As the Chicago Cubs left the field yesterday, they must have been thinking that this was a ridiculous way to begin the road trip. Between Ross and Uggla of the Florida Marlins, there weren’t any other offensive players needed at all! The two players hit a total of 3 home runs, two of them in […]
