New Owners
With the sale complete, the first interviews are being conducted with the new owners of the Cubs. We have been waiting for this moment for awhile and now we know a little bit about them. And the big thing that we know is that they aren’t going to be about changing things radically for no […]

Owners Change
Finally, the Tom Ricketts sale has occurred. We’ve been working on the sale of the team for the last several months. We would have loved to see the team change and add some more leadership earlier this year, but you can’t have everything. Hopefully, with this out of the way, the team will have more […]

Hitting Coach Comes
The Cubs’ new hitting coach, Rudy Jaramillo, will be an interesting addition to the team and hopefully will get those bats swinging next year.

Hands Tied?
There may not be as many options for the Cubs as they would have hoped during the course of their long offseason. They had a huge payroll this year and only got 83 wins out of it. They will have to eliminate Bradley, obviously. The two sides just can’t get along anymore in any real […]

Someone Predicted It
The Cubs season ended yesterday with a quick loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. This finished off a rather unpleasant season that was full of disappointment and silly antics, both on and off the field. When the season began, there were lots of people crawling over themselves to say that the Cubs were going to the […]

Big Z
There was a lot of speculation on the radio last night during the big rain delay about how Carlos Zambrano will be in the future. The question seems to be that many people want to get rid of him if his attitude doesn’t get that much better quite yet. Although Zambrano has the talent of […]
