Why the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Will Suck

Why the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Will Suck

By Brett on March 30, 2011

Editor’s Note: Yes, it’s that time of year again – the time for us to settle back into our protective bubble where the Chicago Cubs are destined for greatness, and every other team in the National League Central is bound for spectacular failure. If you’d care to check out last year’s fare: St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati [...]

Rule 5 Draft is Much Ado About Nothing for Cubs

Rule 5 Draft is Much Ado About Nothing for Cubs

By Brett on December 9, 2010

Rarely is a non-event good news in the world of the Chicago Cubs (“why didn’t Hendry sign that guy? why didn’t he make that trade? why haven’t the Cubs won in a million years?”), but today’s Rule 5 Draft was a relative non-event for the Cubs, and it’s a good thing. The Cubs selected a [...]

Chicago Cubs Clear Another Spot on the 40-Man Roster

Chicago Cubs Clear Another Spot on the 40-Man Roster

By Brett on October 27, 2010

As the offseason approaches, the Chicago Cubs will have to clear some space on the 40-man roster if they intend to add to the team (or at least, intend to add other youngsters to the 40-man). To that end, the Cubs have outrighted pitcher Jeff Gray to AAA Iowa, according to the Daily Herald, putting the 40-man [...]

Series Preview: Cubs v. Brewers, June 8 – June 10, 2010

Series Preview: Cubs v. Brewers, June 8 – June 10, 2010

By Brett on June 8, 2010

It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs head out to face the Milwaukee Brewers – the one team against whom the Cubs have played well this year. And Miller Park usually plays like Wrigley North, so it should be a fine reception for the Cubs. A refresher on the series preview here at [...]

We’re All Screwed: The Cardinals Call Up Aaron Miles

We’re All Screwed: The Cardinals Call Up Aaron Miles

By Brett on June 2, 2010

I’ll level with you: the Cubs’ chances in the NL Central were already looking terrible. But after the Cardinals’ most recent move to shore up their bench, the Cubs have almost no chance. The Cardinals have called up Aaron Miles. The 33-year-old Miles was one of the final players cut by the Reds this spring [...]

Jeff Baker Wants to Punch Mike Fontenot’s Heart

Jeff Baker Wants to Punch Mike Fontenot’s Heart

By Brett on January 22, 2010

Last year, Mike Fontenot was anointed the Chicago Cubs’ starting second baseman out of Spring Training following a 2008 season where he was dominant at the plate in a part-time role. He struggled. The Cubs responded to his struggles (and Aramis Ramirez’s injury and Aaron Miles’ totally unpredictable sucking) by acquiring second baseman Jeff Baker from the [...]

The 2009 Chicago Cubs: Recalling Those “Worst Case Scenarios”

The 2009 Chicago Cubs: Recalling Those “Worst Case Scenarios”

By Brett on January 1, 2010

Oh those Chicago Cubs. They are, as always, predictably unpredictable – with the exception that they are predictably disappointing. Now, with the advent of 2010, we can finally reflect dispassionately on the 2009 Chicago Cubs. The 2009 iteration of the Cubs was no exception in the disappointment department. We didn’t quite know how things would [...]
