I don’t even know what to say about this, I guess I just felt the need to share the sad sad state of affairs.  As the Cubs try to go 7-3 down the stretch to avoid a sub-.500 decade (h/t: @NearlyNextYear), things just continue to unravel.  Derrek Lee scored the game-tying run ahead of Jeff [...]

All things considered, the Cubs are lucky to have the record they do going into the All-Star break, but how have individual players and parts on this team rate so far?  Here’s a take on their performance thus far by position.
1st Base (Derrek Lee, Micah Hoffpauir): Derrek Lee started slow but has come on extremely [...]

I remember a guy named Derrek Lee.  From 2001-2003, he averaged about 26 home runs, 35 doubles and 80 walks a season, while winning a Gold Glove at first base in 2003.  He was just on the cusp of being a perennial all-star.  The Cubs at the time had a young Korean with a lot [...]

The Cubs finally won one yesterday.  Finally something went right. [Sun-Times]
So at first they said he would be okay, then they said 4-6 weeks, but now it looks like Ramirez is going to miss about 2 months.  Oh and [...]

The Cubs beat the A’s 20-5 yesterday in spring training.  Paul Bako had four hits and three RBIs even though he entered the game in the sixth inning.  Clutch! [Sun-Times]
This is always fun.  The Wonderlic scores got leaked again this year, so we get to know who is smart and who won the Vince Young [...]
