Back End of the Cubs’ Rotation Shaping Up

Back End of the Cubs’ Rotation Shaping Up

By Brett on March 18, 2011

Ryan Dempster, Carlos Zambrano, and Matt Garza will start the first three games of the Chicago Cubs’ season, but, so far, the Cubs have not announced which two pitchers would follow them in the rotation. Randy Wells has been in the Cubs’ rotation the last two seasons and has done nothing – seriously, nothing – [...]

Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Zambrano Are Not Leaders

By Brett on March 6, 2011

In his short time as manager, Mike Quade has already established that he likes to talk. A lot. As someone who writes about all things Chicago Cubs, having a gregarious manager is definitely a good thing. I find it also a good thing as a fan. But sometimes, the most interesting information will come from [...]

Carlos Zambrano: Softball Player

Carlos Zambrano: Softball Player

By Brett on February 21, 2011

Many professional sports contracts preclude players from participating in non-sanctioned extracurricular athletic activities like pick-up basketball games or extreme baking. After learning that Carlos Zambrano recently played some softball, I am wondering whether Chicago Cubs player contracts have the same kind of language. According to a Sports Illustrated reader, who provided the picture at right: “Last night [...]

Obsessive Albert Pujols Watch: Aramis Ramirez Wants Pujols, Likes Carlos Pena

Obsessive Albert Pujols Watch: Aramis Ramirez Wants Pujols, Likes Carlos Pena

By Brett on February 20, 2011

From the moment Albert Pujols declined to sign an extension with the Cardinals by his self-imposed deadline, thus (theoretically) ensuring his ascendency into free agency after the season, we all knew an Obsessive Watch was coming. So here we are. That said, Pujols feels like he deserves something special, on the order of OMG Brian [...]

Are the Chicago Cubs the Most Likely Destination for Albert Pujols if He Becomes a Free Agent?

Are the Chicago Cubs the Most Likely Destination for Albert Pujols if He Becomes a Free Agent?

By Brett on February 3, 2011

The St. Louis Cardinals and star first baseman Albert Pujols are running out of time to negotiate an extension beyond the 2011 season, if Pujols’ stated negotiating deadline is to be believed. If the two sides can’t agree to an extension by the start of Spring Training, Pujols says he won’t negotiate until after the [...]

Happy and Sad Personal News for Chicago Cubs

Happy and Sad Personal News for Chicago Cubs

By Brett on January 20, 2011

You take the good with the bad, I suppose, and yesterday, the Chicago Cubs family got a bit of each. On the sad end, Alfonso Soriano’s mother passed away suddenly of an apparent heart attack. ESPNdeportes.com reported the news of Andrea Soriano’s death after hearing from the player. According to that report, a funeral service [...]

Mike Quade Sounds Prepared to Put Up with Some Crap From Carlos Zambrano

Mike Quade Sounds Prepared to Put Up with Some Crap From Carlos Zambrano

By Brett on January 18, 2011

One of the most attractive things about Lou Piniella when he was signed was his reputation as being a guy who wasn’t going to put up with any of the BS that had plagued the Chicago Cubs clubhouse during the Dusty Baker years. And, for the most part, it was true – for a couple [...]

    The latest mock draft has the Cubs taking Mark Appel after the Astros take Jonathan Gray. A deviation from that would be a surprise at this point.
