Carlos Silva Guarantees Himself a Rotation Spot
Is Carlos Silva impressively confident, or embarrassingly delusional? I’m not quite sure. But I am sure that the Chicago Cubs’ rotation prospects are looking both bright and crowded these days. With Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster, and Matt Garza assured of the front three spots, the Cubs will have to figure out how to accommodate Randy [...]
2011 Cubs Convention Lineup: Includes Matt Garza and Carlos Pena
New Cubs Matt Garza and Carlos Pena, and recently-returned Cub Kerry Wood, will be at this weekend’s Cubs Convention, together with a number of other Cubs stars. And, of course, there are a number of former Cubs players – Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins, Greg Maddux, Todd Walker (wait, what?) – who will be there as [...]
The 2011 Cubs Convention Will Have a Pretty Solid Lineup
Some years are leaner than others when it comes to attendance at the annual Cubs Convention – but 2011 is going to feature some big names. Kerry Wood, Carlos Zambrano and new first baseman Carlos Pena will be among the players attending the 2011 Cubs Convention, from Jan. 14-16 at the Hilton Chicago. Wood, who [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Carlos Zambrano Trade Rumors Begin
As I predicted yesterday, Cliff Lee going to the Phillies is going to be the genesis of a great deal of action – and a great deal of gum-flappin’.

What Do You Know – Some Teams Have Asked About Carlos Zambrano

Lukewarm Stove: Cubs Less Interested in Trading Carlos Zambrano and Kosuke Fukudome
Mid-season, everyone knew the Chicago Cubs would love to dump Carlos Zambrano and Kosuke Fukudome. Then the duo had two of the best second halves of the season on the team. How much did that change the Cubs’ internal (and external) perception that they’ve got to move the two players? Possibly a lot. All of [...]
Mike Quade Ready to Handle Carlos Zambrano
Carlos Zambrano is going to be a part of the 2011 Chicago Cubs, for better or worse, and the most fans can do is hope that he pitches like he did in the final month and a half of the 2010 season. At least a portion of that time, Zambrano was pitching for interim manager [...]
Kent Sterling Says the 2011 Cubs Are Doomed – And It’s Hard to Argue
By Brett on November 11, 2010
A couple years ago, Kent Sterling of ESPN Radio wrote a piece on why the 2009 Chicago Cubs would not win.
