There actually reasons to start watching the Cubs again
Time to check back in Wrigley Field has not been the most interesting place to watch baseball this summer. The Chicago Cubs are bad, yet the reasons they are bad create lazy Cub fans across […]
Grim Finish
The efforts to find something warm and happy at the end of Lou Piniella’s tenure are admirable, I guess, but ultimately fail to hide the truth. Writers and broadcasters feel the need to sidestep the […]
Cubs Could Trade Lee
Multiple sources are reporting Wednesday that the Cubs are close to shipping Derrek Lee to the Braves. It’s believed that the Cubs would get some combination of minor leaguers in return. While Lee declined to […]

Lou Piniella Will Retire After This Season
CHICAGO – Cubs manager Lou Piniella today gave the following statement to announce he has made the decision to retire following the 2010 season.
Breathing Room
And one late night later, so many people seem so much more at ease. That’s what a convincing victory will do behind a solid start from a rookie pitcher, when combined with losses by both […]
Bumpy Ride
As we mentioned last week, the White Sox’ mid-season tear has set them up for an emotionally charged period to come, marked by very high highs and very low lows. Yesterday, needless to say, was […]
Break Time
Obscured by the Lebron James Immolation Tour, the White Sox have spent the last five weeks roaring to the top of the AL Central. Some thoughts:
Cubs Strand 17, Win 3-1
A strange day on both sides for the Cubs Saturday as they scratch out a 3-1 win over the Reds. Randy Wells took the headlines early as he took a no-hitter into the seventh before […]
The Zambrano Fallout
Before Saturday’s Cubs-Sox game at US Cellular, both Lou Piniella and Cubs’ assistant general manager Randy Bush talked to the media about the situation with Carlos Zambrano. Piniella called a team meeting at 3:45 pm […]
Zambrano Suspended Indefinitely
Carlos Zambrano lost it Friday and his future with the Cubs may be bordering on lost as well. After giving up a leadoff double to Juan Pierre down the first-base line, a double to Alex […]
Defense Costs Cubs
Bad defense keeps dragging the Cubs down this season. Friday against the Angels, with the Halos leading 3-2, Jeff Baker booted the first two plays of the seventh inning which lead to three unearned runs […]
Cubs Take Series from A’s
On Thursday, Kosuke Fukudome’s game-winning single in the bottom of ninth gave the Cubs a 3-2 victory over the A’s and sealed the first series win for the Cubs since May 27th against the Dodgers. […]
Ramirez Will Rehab in Single-A

All Hope Is Gone For Chicago Baseball In 2010…..
So is it still too early to consider the baseball season over yet Chicago? Do you still have a glimmer of hope that two teams that have crawled to almost identical horse **** records through […]
Same Story, Different Day
It’s getting tough to say anything other than phrases like, “the lack of timely hitting cost the Cubs a win today,” when analyzing the Northsiders. It was no different Saturday. Ryan Dempster looked more than […]
Cubs Rest Ramirez, Theriot
A new lineup for the Cubs Wednesday as Lou Piniella looks to get some rest for Ryan Theriot and Aramis Ramirez. While Lou didn’t speak to the media before the game (nothing major, just time […]
