Bud Selig is Apparently an Arizona Legislator

The Cubs Cut Mike Parisi – But Magically Get to Keep Him
Mike Parisi was selected this year by the Chicago Cubs in the Rule 5 Draft. The gist: that means he was a guy who’d been in the minors a long time without being placed on a team’s 40-man roster, and the Cubs wanted to give him a shot to make their 25-man roster. Usually, if [...]
Tyler Colvin Draws Closer to Making the Chicago Cubs
Tyler Colvin exploded at the plate yesterday – again – with four hits including a triple and a homer against the San Diego Padres.

With yesterday’s announcement that Jeff Samardzija would indeed be in the bullpen, these cuts [...]
It’s Silva and Gorzelanny
As we predicted earlier today, Lou Piniella has announced that the Chicago Cubs will round out their starting rotation with Carlos Silva and Tom Gorzelanny to start the season. He did not say what would happen when Ted Lilly, who is expected to miss the first couple of weeks of the season, returns. Piniella also [...]
