Matt Garza looked great. That is all.

The Cublogoverse is Disappointed
Necessary background: Hire Jim Essian is an excellent blog. Of all the Cubs blogs of which I’m secretly jealous, HJE is probably at the top. Except for The Cubs Brickyard – whoever the guy is that writes for the Brickyard is a genius. And humble. I first learned of HJE when its lead writer, Bad [...]
The Cublogoverse is Over-the-Top Intolerant
Blog are, by their very nature, a platform for opinion. We’re given the opportunity to tell you not only what we think, but also, we are afforded the ability to tell you in our “voice.” If I want to tell you that Ryan Theriot is having a bad week at the plate, I can. If [...]
The Cublogoverse is Conventioning
The Cubs Convention is underway, and the Cublogoverse is all a-twitter with tidbits from the event. The most terrifying goes first. Kaplan then brought up the inevitable question….Who’s going to hit leadoff for the Chicago Cubs in 2009? Piniella asked Rothschild to answer that one and he responded with “Carlos Zambrano”. After the laughs died [...]
The Cublogoverse is Getting Political
In case you haven’t figured it out, the Cublogoverse is a very political place. X blog doesn’t like Y blog, who is e-friends with Z blog, so Z blog launches a comment attack on X blog. Everyone laughs, and then X blog no longer links to Y or Z, and M blog is reticent to [...]
The Cublogoverse is Playing Monopoly
This week was an exciting one in the Cublogoverse for one reason, and one reason only: the Cubs signed blog material gold, Milton Bradley. So let’s take a tour around the Cublogoverse for some of the better reactions to the signing – and a glimpse into some of the interblogoverse politics. The Cub Reporter Pithy [...]
The Cublogoverse is Ice Skating
Something I really appreciate about the Cublogoverse versus the mainstream media is the personal touch. We not only get the news, rumors, commentary, etc. about the Cubs, but we get it from real people. Yes, yes, the writers for the Tribune are “real” people, and I’m sure they’re mighty fine folks, too. But generally, the [...]
The Cublogoverse is Still Shrinking
Our first Cublogoverse post was about Mark DeRosa’s blog, The Pulse, potentially vanishing or at least making the interstellar leap to the Indianblogoverse (you see how terrible that move would be, Mark? It doesn’t even roll off the tongue!). And wouldn’t you know it, the Cublogoverse is losing another excellent blog. When I first ventured [...]
Bruce Levine and Oneri Fleita Interview Notes
The Cub Reporter put together an *excellent* summary of this week’s “Talking Baseball” with Bruce Levine (ok, so it isn’t technically a “Bruce Levine interview”), where the guest of note was Cubs Vice President of Player Personnel, Oneri Fleita. I strongly suggest checking out the whole article, but here’s a quick rundown of the highlights [...]
