Lukewarm Stove: Cubs Really, Really Want to Trade Kosuke Fukudome
After watching him sit on the bench for a few weeks – and flail helplessly at breaking balls outside when he does get in the game – the Chicago Cubs are finally ready to eat some of the $4 million owed to Kosuke Fukudome for the rest of 2010, and “quite a bit” of the [...]
The Cubs Talked to the Red Sox About Mike Fontenot
The Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox discussed a Mike Fontenot trade before the Red Sox acquired Eric Patterson, according to Jon Morosi of Fox Sports.

Live Together, Die Alone: LOST and the Chicago Cubs
By Brett on February 2, 2010
“Every man for himself is not going to work. It’s time to start organizing. We need to figure out how we’re going to survive here. Now, I found water. Fresh water, up in the valley. I’ll take a group in at first light. If you don’t want to go, then find another way to contribute. [...]
