God’s Wrathwatch: Soto and Ramirez Back Today, Bradley Back Whenever
In case you missed it, Geovany Soto (shoulder) and Aramis Ramirez (back) are expected back in the starting lineup today against the Rockies. Milton Bradley (tender, tender groin), on the other hand, isn’t expected back until the weekend. The Cubs are shooting for a weekend return for Milton Bradley, who suffered a mildly strained groin [...]
New Ownerwatch: Not Getting Done Any Time Soon
Remember when the Ricketts family won the bidding for the Chicago Cubs and there was much joy? Remember when they were going to take over by Opening Day and there was much joy? Remember when Opening Day happened and the Tribune Company still owned the Cubs and there was much despondence? So the prevailing belief [...]
The Cublogoverse is Going Corporate
There has always been an “old media” element of the Cublogoverse: the Tribune, the Sun-Times, the Daily Herald, etc. Without them – and more importantly, their access – the “new media” of the Cublogoverse wouldn’t work. So please understand, I appreciate the place of those entities – and of this one – in the structure [...]

After Bradley left Sunday’s game early with an unknown injury, it took a little while to get definitive word on the nature and extent [...]

It’s raining men… er, rain. Rain. A solid all-around outing for the Cubs, but on part stuck out more than the rest.
Series Preview: Colorado Rockies v. Chicago Cubs, April 13 and April 15, 2009
The Chicago Cubs kick off their home schedule with a totally normal, and not at all bizarre two-game, off-day-in-the-middle series against the Colorado Rockies. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need to know about every series this [...]
Chicago Cubs Fans Are Racist… Apparently
By Brett on April 15, 2009
We’ve heard this meme before, and although I don’t want to believe it, I quite frankly don’t have enough experience at Wrigley Field to confirm or deny. The Sun-Times put together a long, painful piece tying Milton Bradley’s volatility to the allegedly racial taunts of Wrigley Field. Wrigley seems like the last place an African-American [...]
