When this was originally posted I could not possibly conceive that we would be under .500 at all. Lou has completely lost this team. ... [Non-text portions of...
I think Hendry's fingerprints are all over the crime scene. Lou's an unfortunate bystander who got caught up in the carnage, in my humble opinion. I wrote a...
If you find yourself looking for something to depress you (and who isn't?) go to cubs.com and dig through the news archives for the beginning of May. Many of...
April, May and June are over. Nothing can be done about them. Milton Bradley cannot and re-due those months. Neither can Fonzie, or D Lee. Has this season been...
WTF! Stop being positive. Right now! Just kidding. Go Cubs! D ... From: S To: cubscoven@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2009 6:54 AM Subject: [Cubs'...
The Cubs reportedly have made a deal with the Rockies for Jeff Baker. He is currently on a rehab assignment. While the title is tongue in cheek, I do think he...
... The Cubs traded a 23 year old pitcher who had great numbers in high A ball for a guy who's been banged up and was hitting .130 before he got banged up....
... When I posted this, the player the Rockies got hadn't been announced. The guy the Rockies got (Alberto Alburquerque) does have good numbers, but keep in...
... I'm not disagreeing with anything you wrote here, but that still doesn't change the fact that Alberto is still more likely to be an effective major league...
... On further investigation, it looks like he may have been out a year with an injury. While this does change the age/level debate to a certain degree, I...
This New Mexico guy was obtained in the Gathright trade with the Orioles. So Baker is a gimme. So I say Kudo's to Hendry for finding a 3rd baseman with some...
Sounds like we are DFA'ing Freel to make room for him. I can't figure out how much we owe Freel. Based on this site it appears the Orioles owe him the...
Based on the existing contracts, we are already at 119.5M for 2010 with Koyie Hill, Fontenot, Marshall, Guzman, and Marmol all entering their first year of...
I thought the Orioles picked up the tab for Freel. Funny side note, for the first time in history, the Pirates are sending cash to the Yankees to pay for half...
So you must have finally chased the right ambulance... :) Seriously, though, even though you were in Kauai and away from the TV, you still felt a mysterious...
Today's topic - Was last night's massacre at the hands of Pujols the worst managed game of Dusty Baker's career? Discuss amongst yourselves while I prepare to...
Aramis, Johnson, and Guzman come off the DL today (so I've heard). I'm curious what people's thoughts are on what will be done to make room for them. I am...
... I had forgotten that Hart was up with the team. That made it easier. Hart and Fuld will definitely go down. So the real question is where does that 3rd...
... I was just coming on to post this. At this point in time, it doesn't matter what type of owner the Ricketts will be...it's just nice to have an owner in...
Lets give a cheer for our Cubs! 3 of 4 from the Brewers. Ramirez is back. New ownership arppoved. Soriano's hitting 6th. Lets go Cubs!!!! D ... From:...
Ryan Freel was traded to the Royals for the infamous PTBNL. The fact that we got anything better than a warm bucket of spit for him shocks me. Then again, we...
Well the article said "Cash and a PTBNL" and it struck me... maybe Cash IS the PTBNL... Norm Cash... or perhaps Johnny Cash. Still refreshing Cubs.com every 23...
I know its early, and there is a lot of season to go...but, where's the love for Randy Wells with regards to ROY? Until recently when Rasmus started heating...
I was lamenting with some friends about this several weeks ago. At that point I said "sure, the Cubs may come back and win the division but this offensive...
Wells was owned by only 7% in yahoo fantasy leagues as of last Friday, with his win Monday, that makes him 4-0 in his last 4 starts. So I am sure he will hit...
I hadn't thought about using that to gauge his popularity. That certainly confirms what we already suspected. I'm hoping the national coverage from last...
