The Tell-Tale Cubs

The Tell-Tale Heart is a story about a mad man who ends up killing another man. After the murder, he ends up hearing his victim’s endless heartbeat… but after thinking about it I don’t think it was his victim’s heart that he was hearing … I think it was the loud […]

MVP so far …

With things looking up right now for Cubs fans we have to ask ourselves one thing … Who is the first half MVP?
Carlos Zambrano -Pitched extremely well of late, but he started out so terrible that he hasn’t redeemed himself yet.
Aramis Ramirez -Absolutely scorched the ball of late and he keeps getting game winning hits […]

There’s a new sheriff in Wrigleyville

After walking a batter in the ninth inning, Dempster threw a ball to Ken Griffey Jr. At this time, new manager Lou Piniella came steaming out of the dugout and started yelling at him. We will never know what exactly was said, because none of the major magazines can say what Lou said to him. […]

Difficulty for Big Z

No, this article is not about Zambrano’s contract. This article is about Carlos Zambrano’s continuous struggles on opening day. The last two opening days Zambrano only lasted 4 and 2/3 innings, but the Cubs supported him by scoring 16 runs. Not this time. Zambrano gave up 6 hits, 5 walks, 1 HBP and 5 ER […]

Zambrano Deadline Extended

Carlos Zambrano originally set a deadline for opening day as contract extensions. He has now gotten rid of that deadline date, so they can work out a few more kinks in the contract. This sounds like they are very close to reaching an agreement and that Big Z wants to stay.

Prior Progresses

The Cubs are not sure if Mark Prior will be ready for opening day, but what they are sure of is that he is making progress. Today, Prior was pitching a minor league team, so that he could worry about location and to boost his confidence level up. Prior gave up one hit, two walks, […]

Wood encounters another setback

Kerry Wood, who will make the transition from starter to the bullpen, is injured once again. It is a strain near his elbow that should sideline him for a few days. This is very scary stuff and it is starting to get annoying if you are a Cubs fan. The hot tub incident I was […]

Eric Patterson

If I were Lou I would have sent down Cedeno and not Patterson, because Patterson is playing alot better offensively, but that does not change the fact that they are both still doing poorly in the field

Prior To Make Minor League Start

Mark Prior is going to make a minor league start for his next ST outing. He is going to make this minor league start to help bring up his confidence slowly and let his mechanics kick back into gear. I think this is a very smart move and getting his confidence back should help […]

Prior Shows Little Improvement in Second Outing.

Today, Mark Prior threw his second ST game. His line was very bad again as he gave up 4 hits, 4 ER and 3 BB’s in 2 IP. The good thing about his start today is that he got through 2 innings and that his velocity is up in the high 80’s, unlike […]
