Can we just bring up this Rizzo kid already?  The guy is raking in the minors and we would have to put him at first base (moving LaHair to Left Field and Soriano to the retirement home).  At this point Soriano has to understand why we hate him right?  He gets paid a ridiculous amount [...]

With little to get excited about beyond the prospect of Theo Epstein’s great (but as of yet unfulfilled) vision, Cubs fans are looking to hang their hats on just about anything they can find.  That’s why people are fawning over Starlin Castro, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that he is not all that good.  Bryan [...]

In light of recent speculation that everyone on the Cubs has been put on the trading block, let’s take a look at the Cubs holes.  The joke here is obviously that every single thing is a hole on this abysmal team and blowing it up completely is the only way to go.  Enjoy. Power: LaHair [...]

The Theo-Jed connection was in full force during the MLB draft this week. I don’t feel like doing an analysis of it, but after a brief read I found this little tidbit I couldn’t resist posting: Round 13, Bijan Rademacher, OF, Orange Coast (Calif.) College: Rademacher is a 6-foot, 200-pound outfielder who bats left-handed. He [...]

The big story in Wrigleyville is how Starlin Castro forgot the rules of baseball yesterday, but that doesn’t bother me (much).  What bothers me is how a bunch of idiotic Cubs fans think Castro is somehow a centerpiece, or even a part of any successful future on the north side.  HE’S NOT! I’ve been ranting [...]

The Cubs season has gone south, and dragged my interest in baseball down with it.  Thank god the Bears and Bulls are on the horizon, but for now we can take solace in this ridiculously awesome comment from Brandon Phillips of the Reds: I hate the Cardinals. All they do is bitch and moan about [...]

Monday Carlos Silva left the game in the first inning due to an abnormal heart beat. Reportedly, Lou Piniella noticed Silva’s heart was beating and immediately called the emergency medical team since the Zombie Cubs have a strict no show of life policy. Ok, so that might be in bad taste (I sincerely hope Silva [...]

Today two Chicago franchises continued to take small steps in opposite directions. No, I am not writing about the White Sox and the Cubs, but the Bulls and Cubs. The Chicago Bulls continued their summer of baby steps by adding C.J. Watson via a side-and-trade with the Golden State Warriors. The Chicago Cubs manager Lou [...]

The Chicago Cubs walked their way into relevancy at the 2010 MLB All Star game. Lone Cub representative Marlon Byrd began the seventh inning rally with a free pass. Scott Rolen and Matt Holliday followed with back-to-back singles and Braves catcher Brian McCann capped off the inning with a double off the White Sox reputed [...]

Say what you will about the FIFA World Cup or the sport of soccer, but their fans truly know how to motivate their favorite players and energize a nation. Recently two sexpots have offered their services if their team wins the World Cup. Paraguayan Lingerie model Larissa Riquelme vowed to run naked through the streets [...]

Ted Lilly began the season with a terrific 6-inning performance against the Milwaukee Brewers. He allowed zero runs and three hits while walking just two batters and striking out a respectable four. This past weekend he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning against White Sox. His stat line had him throwing eight innings with [...]

Maybe you haven’t heard or been paying attention, but apparently this professional baseball team has been playing games on the North Side of Chicago since April.  I haven’t heard much about it, but after doing some research, it appears these North Side “Cubs” have accumulated a 27-33 record and stand at 3rd place in a [...]

If the only division series the Cubs can win is a one-game make up series for a rained-out game with the Pirates, then I feel pretty confident in calling the season with more than 100 games left to be played. Still, this does not mean there is no reason to visit Wrigley Field. Here are [...]

Something seemed unusual when the Oakland Raiders conducted a reasoned, intelligent draft, selecting based on need rather than speed, even flipping the script and waiting to pick up a work out warrior after he had dropped a round or two. Most outlets gave the organization A’s and B’s for their effort. Many believed that Al [...]

I’m not sure what the guys over at Bleacher Nation were getting at with this goofy movie poster, but it made me laugh so here you go.  Go Cubbies!
