Quick let’s celebrate, the Cubs are on a four game winning streak. I know it is ridiculous to be elated so early in the season, but the Cubs are back at .500 and within a series sweep of passing the St. Louis Cardinals. I, and Chicago, needs this as the Bulls are about to knocked [...]

This picture was taken of the Cubs bullpen in the 5th inning of yesterday’s 8-1 Cubs win over the Brewers.  It’s still weird to have Big Z in the bullpen, and it’s going to be very hard to ignore.  Cheer on Z.

Things are bad for the Cubs.  Real bad.  The starting pitching though?  Not really a problem.  In fact, somehow, the Cubs have too many starters that are pitching well.  Now the bullpen, that’s a different story.  With Ted Lilly returning to the rotation on Saturday after looking especially sharp in his latest rehab start, most [...]

So, Marlon Byrd is set to leadoff against lefties, at least for the next few games. His stats are pretty good. Byrd is hitting an incredible .667 (the same as his OBP) and his Slugging Percentage is a beautiful .917. How does he fare against right handers? Well, his .146 batting average, .186 on base [...]

It looks like that Toyota sign that is supposed to go up in left field might become a reality sooner rather than later. Personally I’m opposed to it since it sticks out like a sore thumb and ruins the ambiance of the field.  The city agrees with me on some level and is trying to [...]

Maybe the f-bombs are a bit much, and the guy who gives him the finger right in his face definitely deserves to get punched, but in general what did this idiot expect? His shit-eating grin really says it all.  This man did not get up that morning and think, “I’m going to support my team [...]

The Cubs showed up in full force to support the Blackhawks tonight for Game 1 of their playoff series with the Predators.  No comment on what kind of luck they brought the Hawks, but you can judge for yourself by the 4-1 loss they took.  Is that Kosuke hiding in the back?

Sure the Cubs bullpen blew a 5-4 game to the Reds on Friday, but at least Lou’s junk was hanging out while he jogged out to argue a call with the umps.

Going to Wrigley Field for a beautiful day at the ballpark is pretty much the greatest thing to do on a summer day in possibly the greatest city in the world for spending a summer day in general.  Whether you’re a real Cubs fan looking to cheer on your team, a dumb hot sorority girl [...]

I’m not going to say that I personally know that Samardzija is something of a ladies man and a party animal (I personally know that he is), but lets just say it would be naive to think a young millionaire isn’t having a good time with his nights.  Apparently someone expected a little more from [...]

The Cubs take to Turner Field tonight to try and avenge an embarrassing loss to the Atlanta Braves. I think it is too early to worry, unlike Melissa Isaacson, but I would still like to see a big win. I mean, I know it is only a matter of time before the Washington Nationals or [...]

Yesterday was opening day for baseball on both sides of town, and the results could not have been more different.  Sox fans will tell you that this is a sign of things to come, while Cubs fans will say that it was one game and we all just need to relax.  I don’t know the [...]

Last season was a huge disappointment for a Cubs team that had won two straight divisions the two previous years.  What was most disturbing was that the 2009 Cubs had pretty much the same personnel as the 2008 Cubs, with most feeling like Hendry had improved the team prior to the start of the season. [...]

Last season SS Ryan Theriot and RF Kosuke Fukudome split time at the leadoff spot after it became undeniably obvious that Alfonso Soriano was a disaster. This season the two head into the 2010 season as the two candidates to lead off once again. Popular opinion seems to be on Theriot’s side and ESPN’s Tyler [...]

Spring training is coming to a close, and although we haven’t been covering it in detail this year, suffice it to say that I’m excited as hell for the season to begin.  A new year, new hopes, and new delusions of grandeur.  March is historically a great month to be a Cubs fan.  Until Derrek [...]
