Chicago Cubs Organizational Meetings Begin Today – And So, Too, Does the Offseason
With the World Series at its close (thank GOD those poor, long-suffering Giants fans got their championship, no?), the offseason is officially upon us. Nearly 200 players filed for free agency last night, and assuredly general managers everywhere are poised to make calls, pour over stats and tape, and try to make their 2011 club [...]
Tyler Colvin is Going to Be Fine
Raise a collective thanks, as Chicago Cubs outfielder Tyler Colvin, impaled by the flying bat of a teammate, is going to be fine. “I talked to him, he will be fine,” Hendry said Saturday. “Obviously that was a potential disastrous situation.

It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs welcome the Milwaukee Brewers to Wrigley Field – still the one team, outside of Arizona, against whom the Cubs have played well this year.
