Ryan Dempster Loaned the Cubs Money to Sign Xavier Nady
A bit of sobering financial news is trickling out of Chicago Cubs land. We all knew that the budget was tight this year – given the already bloated payroll and the ownership transition – but I don’t think we had any idea how tight. In the middle of the offseason, Ryan Dempster agreed to defer [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cardinals 7, Cubs 1 – May 28, 2010
The Cubs lost this one before they recorded an out. At least Tyler Colvin continues to rake. Off the bench. Tweet
Good News on Both Zambrano and Baker
Quick hit update: Carlos Zambrano, who was sent to the hospital with lower abdominal pain, is feeling fine, according to Carrie Muskat and her trust Twitter. The pain, it seems, was food-related. Fewer 3 a.m. deep fried pickle runs with Jim Hendry, I say. Jeff Baker is also expected to be fine after being pulled [...]
Series Preview: Cardinals v. Cubs, May 28 – May 30, 2010

The Chicago Cubs just took two of three from the Los Angeles Dodgers on the strength of two dominant pitching performances from Ryan Dempster and Ted Lilly. The latter pitcher’s performance, according to Dodger third baseman Casey Blake, was enhanced by some old fashioned cheatin’. “I know he doesn’t have an overpowering fastball,” Blake said. [...]
Carlos Zambrano Sent to Hospital
According to Gordon Wittenmyer’s twitter, Carlos Zambrano has been sent to the hospital with an appendicitis (or at least appendicitis-like symptoms). If he ends up having it out, he could be out for several weeks. We’ll update as we get more information. UPDATE: From cubs.com, the Cubs have determined it probably isn’t an appendicitis. Zambrano was complaining of [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Dodgers 0, Cubs 1 – May 27, 2010
The Cubs squeaked out a victory on the back of a lovely performance by Ted Lilly – his first truly good outing of the year. The offense was nowhere to be found (except the bench), but the Cubs still managed to take two of three from literally the hottest team in baseball. Not bad, folks. [...]
