The Cubs have done one thing this year better than any other team: when the Cubs get blown out, they get BLOWN OUT. Tweet
Greg Maddux Leaving the Cubs to Be Diamondbacks Pitching Coach?
Hall of Fame pitcher, and Chicago Cub favorite, Greg Maddux rejoined the Cubs organization earlier this year as a special assistant to general manager Jim Hendry. He toured the minors, and met with young pitchers in Chicago from time to time. In general, his presence was regarded as helpful, and not just a show. But [...]

Xavier Nady Wants to Remain a Chicago Cub
This winter, the Chicago Cubs signed Xavier Nady, coming off Tommy John surgery, to be the team’s fourth outfielder for just over $3.3 million, which was considered a bargain.
