Can’t Wait: Bartman Documentary to Premier at Tribeca Film Festival

Can’t Wait: Bartman Documentary to Premier at Tribeca Film Festival

By Brett on March 15, 2011

Get ready to be equal parts annoyed and miserable. Next month, the long-awaited documentary about Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS and the infamous Bartman incident will premier at the Tribeca Film Festival after months of delay. Originally slated for release on October 26 – in tandem with the World Series and as part of ESPN’s 30 [...]

Aramis Ramirez Says He Never Had a Problem with Rudy Jaramillo

Aramis Ramirez Says He Never Had a Problem with Rudy Jaramillo

By Brett on March 1, 2011

Last year was a forgettable season for Aramis Ramirez – unfortunately, it was anything but forgettable for the rest of us. Ramirez struggled out the gate, and took months to regain something close to his usual form. Looking back, I think it’s safe to say we can chalk a good portion of it up to [...]

Competition Brewing Between Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena?

Competition Brewing Between Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena?

By Brett on January 23, 2011

Chicago Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez is coming off his worst season with the team. New Cubs first baseman Carlos Pena is coming off his worst season in recent memory. Both are hoping for a bounce back in 2011, but one doesn’t really have anything to do with the other, right? Each hopes for success [...]

Carlos Pena: Likeable Dude

Carlos Pena: Likeable Dude

By Brett on December 13, 2010

New Chicago Cubs’ first baseman Carlos Pena has some big shoes to fill. Derrek Lee was the man at first for more than half of the 2000s before he was traded to the Braves this August, and you would struggle to find a single Cubs fan who could utter a cross word about Lee if [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Derrek Lee, Carlos Pena, Brad Hawpe, Adam LaRoche

By Brett on December 7, 2010

Some of us have wondered openly why Derrek Lee’s name is never brought up in first base rumors for the Chicago Cubs. He’s obviously familiar with the organization, he’s solid defensively, and he should be inexpensive. Sounds like a perfect fit, no? The Cubs are not interested in re-signing Derrek Lee, who is being pursued [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Cubs Looking at Nick Johnson, Kerry Wood

By Brett on November 4, 2010

Two the of Chicago Cubs’ big priorities this winter are at first base and in the bullpen, and the team is expected to look at a familiar face for the latter, and a new face for the former. With a payroll budget that figures to leave little room for big-shot free agents, indications are that [...]

Carlos Zambrano: Adam Dunn Wants to Play for Chicago Cubs

Carlos Zambrano: Adam Dunn Wants to Play for Chicago Cubs

By Brett on October 3, 2010

Now that Carlos Zambrano has confirmed his desire to remain with the Chicago Cubs for the foreseeable future, he’s making plans for the team. Specifically, he thinks the Cubs need a big bat in the middle of the order (the Amazing Kreskin that guy is), and he says that guy should be soon-to-be free agent [...]

    Cubs Draft Notes: Appel and Gray Still at the Top, Manaea Falling, Youngest Prospects, Draft Details

    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.
