Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 7, Dodgers 9 – July 9, 2010
Marlon Byrd raked, and Aramis Ramirez continues to be on fire, but there’s really only one story from this one – and it’s unfortunate.
Is the Trade Market for Carlos Zambrano Going to Shape Up?
One of the many pieces the Chicago Cubs would no doubt like to move is currently-restricted pitcher Carlos Zambrano. Still away from the team while he receives anger management treatment and evaluation, Zambrano would likely welcome a trade – despite his no-trade clause – as he’s going to be stuck in the bullpen upon his [...]
More Vague Assertions About the Chicago Cubs Making Trades
Don’t get me wrong, I love any rumor tidbits I can get. But so far, while we’ve learned that the Chicago Cubs are very likely to be sellers, we’ve not had too many specific “player x could be heading to team y” type rumors. They’re coming, I have no doubt. But for now, we’ll have [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 2, Dodgers 3 – July 8, 2010

At least one source - Ken Davidoff of Newsday – is reporting that the Cubs are “getting [...]
Mitch Atkins to Chicago, Brian Schlitter to DL
Brian Schlitter is the latest Chicago Cub to come down with bad-performance-itis. I kid (sort of), but following his disastrous outing on Friday against the Reds, the Cubs discovered that Schlitter had a “shoulder impingement.” He’ll head to the DL, and Mitch Atkins comes back up from Iowa to take his spot in the bullpen. [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 8, Diamondbacks 3 – July 7, 2010
Did the Cubs actually just sweep a team? And did they do so by virtue of an offensive asplosion? Wha? Aramis Ramirez continued his mini hot streak (we’ll take it), and the pitching was solid.
