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 [...]

Mike Quade is Clearly Worried About Starlin Castro

Mike Quade is Clearly Worried About Starlin Castro

By Brett on March 3, 2011

If Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro has shown anything in his young Major League career, it’s that he can hit, but is subject to lapses in the field. Whether those lapses are physical or mental is yet unclear, but one thing is certain: it’s gotta change. This team will not win anything if they’re not [...]

Lou Piniella Will Be Working for the Giants

Lou Piniella Will Be Working for the Giants

By Brett on February 2, 2011

Lou Piniella tearfully left baseball in August of last year, noting that it would be the last time he would put on a uniform. It was the end of an era, to be sure, but Lou never said it would be the last time he worked for a baseball organization. The team hasn’t made an [...]

Chicago Cubs Get Creative With Ticket Packages

By Brett on January 11, 2011

If you wanted to buy a bundle of tickets to Chicago Cubs games this year, but don’t have season tickets, and don’t want to go a la carte, you can now buy a package of 13 game tickets, with some choice built in. The ticket packages are divided into bleacher seats or seats in the [...]

Cubs and Giants Discussed Swapping Kosuke Fukudome and Aaron Rowand

Cubs and Giants Discussed Swapping Kosuke Fukudome and Aaron Rowand

By Brett on December 17, 2010

In rumors that make no sense, Jerry Crasnick is reporting that he’s heard the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants have discussed swapping outfielders Kosuke Fukudome and Aaron Rowand in a “classic bad-contract, change-of-scenery deal.” It’s almost impossible to see anything coming from this, as swapping a productive, left-handed outfielder for an unproductive, right-handed outfielder can’t [...]

2011 Chicago Cubs Spring Training Game Schedule is Here

2011 Chicago Cubs Spring Training Game Schedule is Here

By Brett on December 15, 2010

The Chicago Cubs have officially released their 35-game 2011 Spring Training schedule, though many of the games were already known. Among the highlights: the opener is February 27 against the A’s at HoHoKam, and the conclusion is an intrasquad game on March 30 to benefit Chicago Cubs Charities. The Cubs will also play a couple [...]

You Can Also Cross Aubrey Huff Off the List

You Can Also Cross Aubrey Huff Off the List

By Brett on November 23, 2010

Even less likely than Victor Martinez, the Chicago Cubs were once connected with San Francisco Giant Aubrey Huff for their first base opening. The connection shriveled quickly with Huff’s apparent ardor to return to San Francisco, and today, it died when Huff re-signed with the Giants. He gets two years and $22 million, which is [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Aubrey Huff or Victor Martinez at First?

By Brett on November 7, 2010

Fresh on the heels of a number of rumors suggesting Adam Dunn will be out of the Chicago Cubs’ price range this winter, together with the bargain suggestions of Adam LaRoche and Nick Johnson, we get a new batch of names from the second tier of free agency – recent World Series hero/panty-wearer Aubrey Huff, [...]
