Lukewarm Stove: Chicago Cubs Might Look at Jon Garland
The Chicago Cubs’ rotation at present figures to feature Carlos Zambrano and Ryan Dempster for sure, but the other three spots are somewhat up in the air. Randy Wells is a near lock, and if Tom Gorzelanny remains with the Cubs, he’ll hold a spot, too. Carlos Silva, Sean Marshall, Jeff Samardzija, Andrew Cashner, Jay [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Mike Quade Picks Up the Support of More Players
It wouldn’t be an “obsessive watch” if you weren’t getting multiple posts a day on the subject – so I hope you’re not getting sick of it (yet). Interim manager Mike Quade has steered the Chicago Cubs to a 21-12 record in his tenure. Impressive, to be sure, but record alone is not going to [...]

Series Preview: Cubs v. Brewers, September 10 – September 12, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs head off to friendly Miller Park to take on the Brewers. If the Cubs were still in the race, this would look like a tasty match-up. As it stands, it looks like a reason to drink tasty beer. A refresher on the series preview here at [...]
Series Preview: Astros v. Cubs, September 6 – September 8, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs welcome the streaking Houston Astros to Wrigley Field for a three-game set. Not unlike the Cubs, the Astros keep winning, but it keeps not mattering. Time for the Series Preview: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need to [...]

Kent Sterling Says the 2011 Cubs Are Doomed – And It’s Hard to Argue
