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: Brewers v. Cubs, August 2 – August 4, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs welcome the Milwaukee Brewers to Wrigley Field – still the one team, outside of Arizona, against whom the Cubs have played well this year. The Brewers didn’t conduct a sell-off, so they’ll be at full-strength. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The [...]
Aramis Ramirez’s Thumb is Still Bothering Him
Aramis Ramirez sat out yesterday’s series finale against the Rockies because his thumb – which kept him out for a significant stretch earlier this year, and crapped up his performance before that – was bothering him. Ramirez, who missed 15 games in June because of the injury, said he should be back in the lineup [...]
God’s Wrath Watch: Carlos Silva’s Heart is Racing
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Carlos Silva left today’s game against the Rockies after facing just four batters. It seems he was just so excited to meet new Cub Blake DeWitt that he could stop his heart from pounding. Just kidding. About the DeWitt part. Carlos Silva was pulled from Sunday’s game in the first inning [...]
Series Preview: Cubs v. Rockies, July 30 – August 1, 2010
The Chicago Cubs head out to Denver to take on a team nearly as disappointing (recently) as the Cubs, the Colorado Rockies. At least it’s really pretty out there. Shrug. 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 [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Rockies Considering Ryan Theriot
A recent swoon has taken the Colorado Rockies from definite contenders to possible sellers. If they decide to stay the course and compete, they might look to add a versatile player like Ryan Theriot. Theriot, 30, is an interesting name since he wouldn’t figure to be just a stopgap at second base. He’s a .287 [...]
Zambranogate: Carlos Breaks His Silence For Realsies
Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano has finally spoken publicly regarding Zambranogate, and while it’s good to finally hear from the horse’s mouth, his statements leave a little to be desired. “It was a moment of frustration,” Zambrano said Monday in an interview with ESPN. “I was trying to fire up the team. Lee told me [...]
Zambranogate: Carlos Expected to Return Next Weekend
Chicago Cubs pitcher/formerly angry guy Carlos Zambrano is expected to return to the team next weekend, around July 30, when the Cubs head to Colorado to take on the Rockies. The plan for Zambrano is for him to pitch out of the bullpen for Iowa until he joins the big league team in Denver the [...]
