Well, today Daryle Ward launched his first homerun (which happened to be a grand slam!) as a Cub into the Wrigley field bleachers to put the Cubs up 5-0. This loosened up the Cubs dugout quite a bit as everyone was jumping up and down and from that point on the pressure was off. Marshall […]

Signing Carlos Zambrano would have been the biggest goal going into this off-season, but Jim Hendry already has that crossed out on his list. Now that Big Z has his contract, I think that will pump him up for this stretch run and his mind will be clear. He has got his money, now […]

He was the best hitting 3rd basemen in the draft and he just finished his last year of high school. He will most likely join the Cubs when Aramis Ramirez contract expires, which will be […]

Today, the Cubs claimed Scott Podsednik off of waivers from the White Sox. Now, the White Sox have the right to trade him, release him or just take him back off of the waiver wire. Pods would be a decent pickup for the club, considering he is hitting over .300 against lefties, and that is […]
