Cubs’ Hendry Finally Admits Bradley “a Mistake”
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 […]
‘Lucky’ Cubs Kiss Sister at First Half’s End
So this is where the first half of Chicago Cubs baseball has taken us. After 82 games, the loyal fans of Cubdom have been treated to a seemingly endless display of hitting ineptitude, a mountain of general malaise and the equivalent in sports parlance, of kissing one’s sister.
Or to put it more bluntly, a ho-hum […]
Cubs’ Show More Stagger Than Swagger
It was good while it lasted. The Chicago Cubs swagger I mean.
When Lou Piniella arrived as Cubs’ manager two-and-a-half seasons ago, he made it clear that one of his top priorities was instilling a winning attitude. To hell with this “Lovable Losers” stuff.
He was going to create a new breed of Cubs player - one […]
Cubs’ Bradley Just Don’t Get It
There was something poetic in watching the winning hit sail over the head of Chicago Cub outfielder Milton Bradley in yesterday’s 8-7 loss to the crosstown rival White Sox.
Because amidst the hoopla of baseball bragging rights for Chicago it perfectly symbolized Bradley’s relationship with the city. Since signing a three-year, $30 million contract last January, […]
28Jun2009 | Chicago Cubs Baseball | 0 comments | ContinuedCubs Need A New Song
Chicago Cubs baseball needs a change. More than a lineup change or a roster move.
With its underachieving core of players signed to multi-year contracts its unlikely that another general manager would bite anyway. No, the kind of change I’m talking about requires more than just a “C” change.
This is change Cub fans could believe in. […]
Former Cub Sammy Sosa Swung for the Fences - and Whiffed
With a thud and a yawn Sammy Sosa’s legacy came crashing to the ground like a shattered boom box amid a New York Times report last week the former Chicago Cubs baseball star tested positive for performance enhancing drugs.
That Sosa was found among 104 other players testing positive from a 2003 survey could be considered […]
Cubs Discover New Way of Winning: Come-from-Behind
Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry must be feeling pretty smart these days. In consecutive wins over the crosstown rival White Sox (6-5 on Thursday) and Cleveland, the Cubs managed to score more runs in two games than it had in its previous 10.
These two offensive outbursts come just four days after Hendry replaced […]
