Want Matt Murton Back?
Well, here’s the Cubs’ chance. To make room for (juicing) reliever, Juan Rincon, the Colorado Rockies designated Murton for assignment. Murton’s quick trip to Coors Field left him eager for more.

God’s Wrathwatch: Soriano to Have MRI … In Like Two Weeks
Chicago Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano has been battling a sore knee since late April, following an outfield wall collision.

Alfonso Soriano has been dealing with a troublesome knee for most of this season. But before you blame his absurd struggles on the knee, know that (1) he’s said he feels great and that his swing feels good, and (2) he’s the one who has insisted on playing despite the knee issues. The left fielder [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Nationals 15, Cubs 6 – August 25, 2009

Milton Bradley: Redefining Insanity
By Brett on August 27, 2009
They say that insanity is trying the same thing again and again, and expecting different results. If that is the case, then Milton Bradley is doubly insane: because he keeps, well, being crazy again and again. Surprise – the results are always the same. The latest bundle of crazy relates to Bradley’s recent comments that [...]
