The Cublogoverse is Podcasting
Two podcasting notes emanating from two of the best podcasts in the Cublogoverse: Bricks and Ivy Radio is back after an unfortunately extended hiatus. Check out what they’re laying down. Cubscast isn’t “back,” because they never went away. It’s another excellent podcast worth checking out – and while you’re there, maybe you nominate your favorite [...]
Andrew Cashner Could Wind Up the Cubs Fifth Starter
At the outset of the 2010 season, the Chicago Cubs will have two holes to fill in their rotation – those left by Ted Lilly, who will be recovering from shoulder surgery, and Rich Harden, who will probably also be recovering from shoulder problems, but will be doing so in Texas.

It would be no surprise if you didn’t know this, because the Chicago [...]
The Cubs Preferred Jermaine Dye to Xavier Nady
Last week the Chicago Cubs ended their month-long search for a fourth outfielder by landing a guy who would probably be a starter on many other teams, Xavier Nady. But for Tommy John surgery, his second, Nady almost certainly would be starting somewhere in 2010. Clearly, that makes him a very attractive target, and it [...]

By Brett on February 2, 2010
“Every man for himself is not going to work. It’s time to start organizing. We need to figure out how we’re going to survive here. Now, I found water. Fresh water, up in the valley. I’ll take a group in at first light. If you don’t want to go, then find another way to contribute. [...]
