Adam Dunn Loves the Chicago Cubs
After trading Derrek Lee, the Chicago Cubs opened up a substantial void at first base – a void, though, that was likely to be opened after the season anyway. Lee is a free agent after this season, and the Cubs, who’d rebuffed Lee’s attempts to discuss an extension, seemed eager to explore alternatives for 2011. [...]
Carlos Zambrano is Headed to Venezuela
Some sad news to report, as Chicago Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano, fresh off his best start of the season against the Nationals last night, is head to Venezuela to be with his family. Zambrano’s 11-year-old nephew is in the hospital with a life-threatening disease. “I have a nephew that’s in bad condition,” he said. “He [...]

God’s Wrath Watch: Marlon Byrd’s Hand is Probably OK
Marlon Byrd inadvertently took one off the hand last night, and was quickly removed from the game, as he was in obvious pain. The good news is he’s just day-to-day, and is probably going to be fine. The ball ricocheted off Byrd’s hand and struck him on the top of the right foot. Byrd jumped [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 9, Nationals 1 – August 23, 2010
And so begins the Mike Quade era. Clearly, Lou Piniella was the problem. Just kidding. Any way you slice it, this was a great outing by rookie Casey Coleman, and the Cubs’ bats. Tweet
The Problem with an Interim Manager Like Mike Quade: Tyler Colvin to Remain in the Outfield
By Brett on August 24, 2010
Being the manager of the Chicago Cubs – even in a mere interim capacity – brings with it certain indelicacies. Most notably? The microscope.
