The Best Catch in Chicago

Date: Mon, May 3, 2010

Some things can stand the test of time. Fortunately, for fans we’ve been treated to two of the best fielding plays for not only this year, but possibly Chicago Cubs baseball history . Last Wednesday, Chicago Cubs center fielder Marlon Byrd (below) made every highlight reel with his no-look circus catch. It may not [...]

Memo to Cubs’ Brass: It’s the Payroll, Stupid

Date: Sat, May 1, 2010

If the first month of Chicago Cubs baseball is any indication of the remaining five, it could be another very long year of mediocrity for North Side fans. Do I hear 102 years and counting? It’s very likely for the short and long term, considering the group of overpaid and under-performing players Cubs GM Jim Hendry has [...]

The Mystery Called Cubs Baseball

Date: Sat, Apr 17, 2010

If the Chicago Cubs are to move forward in 2010 they’re first going to have to get by their past. For as much as Cubdom wants to believe in this latest version of Chicago Cubs baseball, the disaster of 2009 still lingers fairly fresh in most of its minds. Sure, some of the faces have changed - [...]

Chicago Cubs’ First Week a Dud

Date: Sun, Apr 11, 2010

In the scheme of a 162-game major league schedule, the opening week of the season is but a drop in the ball bucket. Seldom are a team’s fortunes determined by what transpires during the course of those first few games.  Thank goodness that’s the case for Chicago Cubs baseball. With today’s 3-1 loss to Cincinnati, the Cubs [...]

Cubs All Quiet on the Western Front

Date: Tue, Mar 30, 2010

Ssshhhhhh.  Did you hear that sound coming out of the Chicago Cubs training camp? If you answered no, you’d be correct.  For what you don’t hear is the beautiful sound of silence.  And what a pleasant melody it’s playing. For the first time in a long time, Chicago Cubs baseball is readying itself for a new season [...]

Cubs’ Hendry Finally Admits Bradley “a Mistake”

Date: Sun, Mar 14, 2010

Forget about Ted Lilly’s throwing arm for a second.  Put aside any thoughts about a suspect bullpen.  And don’t even think about another year without a World Series championship. There’s plenty of time for those and a hundred and two other questions regarding another Chicago Cubs baseball season.  Besides, those and any other thoughts you might [...]

Ex-Chicago Cub Bradley: Lettin’ Go Is Hard to Do

Date: Sun, Mar 7, 2010

Some people just can’t let go.  Or turn the page.  Or find enough intestinal strength to pick up the needle and move it to another groove. Ex-Chicago Cub outfielder Milton Bradley is one of those such persons. Barely pitches into the 2010 spring training schedule, Bradley put on his best - or worst - jilted lover face [...]

Cubs’ Bradley Gives Fans Something to Jeer About

Date: Sat, Aug 29, 2009

Thank goodness for Milton Bradley. In this, the most disastrous season since 2006, the off-field and on-field Chicago Cubs have given its fans plenty of directions to point fingers.  From an incompetent front office to an anemic offense to just plain lackadaisical performances all around, the Chicago Cubs once again have resumed their place as baseball’s [...]

Cubs’ Shut Book on Closer Kevin Gregg

Date: Tue, Aug 18, 2009

I come neither to praise nor to bury former Chicago Cubs closer Kevin Gregg.  I simply am here to say, “so long.” While Gregg undoubtedly will remain in a Cubs’ uniform through the end of this season, his days as the team’s closer unofficially ended Monday night.  Chicago manager Lou Piniella made the call following Gregg’s [...]

Cubs Season Goes Code Blue

Date: Sat, Aug 15, 2009

With six weeks remaining in the 2009 season there’s plenty for Chicago Cubs baseball fans to be thankful for. For one, the Cubs have proven they still have enough talent to kick the crap out of the also-rans of major league baseball.  As evidenced by Friday’s 17-2 drubbing of the Pittsburgh Pirates Triple A team, it’s [...]

Cubs Sit in No Lose Situation

Date: Sat, Aug 8, 2009

With less than two months remaining in the 2009 season, Chicago Cubs baseball sits one game back in the Central Division standings and two games back in the hunt for the wild card slot. Both within striking distance of either a third consecutive division title or a trip into the playoffs.  Both are achievable and attainable [...]

Cubs’ Piniella Earns Badge of Honor

Date: Sat, Jul 25, 2009

Lou Piniella, the manager major league baseball players would least like to play for? That’s correct if you believe the Sports Illustrated poll published last month.  In the poll of 380 players conducted in May, the Chicago Cubs manager received 26 percent of the players’ vote, with White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen getting 21 percent and [...]

Phillies Give Cubs Chance to Measure Up

Date: Tue, Jul 21, 2009

Now that the weekend series with the Washington Nationals is over, Chicago Cubs baseball can resume major league play. But, like everything else that seems to enter the Cubs’ world, there’s a mixture of good and bad news.  Giving the worse first, the Cubs meet the defending World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies,  a team as solid [...]

Cubs Remain in a State of Flux

Date: Sat, Jul 18, 2009

The first half has ended, the second half has barely begun and Chicago Cubs baseball finds itself in pretty much the same position as when the season began. Injuries, inconsistent play and a general ineptitude at the plate has turned the race for a playoff spot into a daily trek on the treadmill.  Sure, the [...]
