One Fewer Outfield Option: Jeremy Hermida to Red Sox
Apparently having your name attached to the Chicago Cubs as a possible offseason target is the kiss of death. First, Mark Teahen was dealt from the Kansas City Royals to the Chicago White Sox, and now Jeremy Hermida – also rumored as a Chicago Cubs target, should they successfully move Milton Bradley – has been [...]
Wouldn’t Matter if it Were Any Other Team: Smoltz Nearing Deal with Cardinals
A Smoltz with any other team would not smell as sweet – or perform as well. John Smoltz is apparently close to signing with the St. Louis Cardinals. Smoltz, 42, put up a snowman+ ERA with the Red Sox this year, so most assume he’s done for. Ah, but they have not seen the redeeming [...]
Series Preview: Cubs v. Reds, August 3 – August 5, 2009
The Chicago Cubs head off to Cincinnati to take on the Reds. Even though, you know, they just played them last week. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need to know about every series this year. That [...]

This is Just Ridiculous: Aramis Ramirez Out, Too
It’s unclear what is wrong with him, but Aramis Ramirez left tonight’s game against the Marlins in the 10th. Ramirez was hit by a pitch on the left elbow, and was clearly in a good deal of pain. He was sacrificed over to second base, and after an intentional walk, he decided to leave the [...]
God is a Kid with a Magnifying Glass on a Hot Summer Day: Zambrano Out
Carlos Zambrano left today’s game against the Marlins in the third inning with “stiffness in his back.” Awesome. If there’s one thing this Cubs team needs, it’s more injuries. Tweet
Why the Final Week Rainout and the Last Game Loss Were Blessings
By Brett on October 5, 2009
The 2010 Major League Baseball draft order is out, pending changes due to free agency signings, and the Chicago Cubs come in at 16th. That the Cubs are 16th and not 17th is actually quite huge: now, if and when the Cubs sign a Type A free agent who has been offered arbitration by his [...]
