Will the Chicago Cubs Look to Bring Back Kerry Wood?
It is not a secret that the 2010 Chicago Cubs’ bullpen blew. Injuries, underperformance and inexperience conspired to torpedo the pen for long stretches during the season. So the fact that the team will look at some veteran reliever options this Winter should also not be a secret. But one of those reliever options might [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Mike Quade Picks Up the Support of More Players
It wouldn’t be an “obsessive watch” if you weren’t getting multiple posts a day on the subject – so I hope you’re not getting sick of it (yet). Interim manager Mike Quade has steered the Chicago Cubs to a 21-12 record in his tenure. Impressive, to be sure, but record alone is not going to [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Chicago Cubs Do Plan to Interview Joe Girardi
Looks like my tea leaf reading was correct.

Money is, of course, always a [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Bob Brenly Explains Why He Pulled Himself Out of the Running, and Part of the Explanation Hurts
If nothing else, Chicago Cubs color man Bob Brenly is candid. He says things in such a way as to get his message across clearly, but even when the message is harsh, you respect him. Yesterday, Brenly made very clear why he pulled himself out of the running for the Cubs managerial role. Part of [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 5, Padres 2 – September 28, 2010
The Cubs kick more dirt on the Padres, and the pitching continues to look good. And Alfonso Soriano does his best Joaquin Phoenix reveal… Tweet
Brace Yourself: Adrian Gonzalez Loves Chicago
It may be the greatest love story of all time – if you’re a Chicago Cubs fan. San Diego Padres first baseman, and all-around stud, Adrian Gonzalez loves Chicago, loves Wrigley Field, and likes the idea of becoming a Chicago Cub. *Gush* But. There’s always a but. Gonzalez is not a free agent until after [...]
