Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 13, Marlins 3 – September 19, 2010
Outside of the Colvin injury, the game was nearly perfect for the Cubs. Good, young hitting; good, young pitching.
Tyler Colvin in Stable Condition After Taking Bat Shard to Chest
Some scary stuff in today’s game, as outfielder Tyler Colvin was hit in the chest by a flying piece of bat, which pierced his skin and caused some internal damage. Doctors are working to prevent a collapsed lung. Needless to say, Colvin’s season is over. The freak accident happened as Colvin was running the bases [...]
Boom: Geovany Soto to Have Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery
Good thing the Cubs were already long-eliminated from the playoff race, otherwise the news that catcher Geovany Soto is undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery would be much more devastating. Soto’s had trouble with the shoulder all year, so the surgery isn’t a huge surprise (even if we hadn’t heard word of it until now). The recover time [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Bob Brenly to Interview, Don Wakamatsu on Cubs’ List
Mike Quade certainly isn’t doing anything to hurt his chances of landing the full-time Chicago Cubs’ managerial gig, but the Cubs are proceeding with interviews far and wide.

Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 2, Marlins 0 – September 18, 2010
So, you’re probably wondering why this EBS is so incredibly late. Awkward confession: I’m a Michigan fan. Thus, I was watching Michigan embarrass itself against UMass, and eke out a victory far too close for comfort. As for the Cubs, Ryan Dempster flashed brilliance again, and bullpen combined on the shutout. Swell.
Obsessive New Manager Watch: New Manager Must “Understand” Cubs History
Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts tossed out a tidbit yesterday when discussing the new manager search. Namely, he said that whoever gets the job must understand the history of the Cubs – particularly the whole 102 years of losing shit. Ricketts has not said much publicly about the managerial search, other than that he wants [...]
Series Preview: Cubs v. Marlins, September 17 – September 19, 2010
The Chicago Cubs head to Miami to take on the Florida Marlins and Lebron James. Cleveland Cavs fans, unite. Time for the Series Preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need to know about every series this year streaks, lineups, game times, broadcast [...]
