Lukewarm Stove: Chicago Cubs Might Look at Jon Garland

Lukewarm Stove: Chicago Cubs Might Look at Jon Garland

By Brett on November 7, 2010

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 [...]

As Expected, Cubs Players Happy to See Mike Quade Named Manager

As Expected, Cubs Players Happy to See Mike Quade Named Manager

By Brett on October 20, 2010

Chicago Cubs players spoke out yesterday, expressing excitement over the selection of interim manager Mike Quade to be the team’s manager in 2011. Quade was given a two-year deal, with an option for a third year. Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster was one of the first players to endorse Mike Quade, and on Tuesday he applauded [...]

Obsessive New Manager Watch: Mike Quade Picks Up the Support of More Players

Obsessive New Manager Watch: Mike Quade Picks Up the Support of More Players

By Brett on September 30, 2010

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: Giants v. Cubs, September 21 – September 23, 2010

Series Preview: Giants v. Cubs, September 21 – September 23, 2010

By Brett on September 21, 2010

The Chicago Cubs take on the very good San Francisco Giants this week. I imagine that the Giants are thrilled to be playing the Cubs right now in the midst of a heated pennant race – you know, now that the Cubs have decided to actually compete. Time for the Series Preview. The idea is [...]

You Should Probably Brace Yourself for Some OMG Adam Dunn

You Should Probably Brace Yourself for Some OMG Adam Dunn

By Brett on September 16, 2010

The offseason isn’t quite here yet, though September has the distinct feel of offseason for Chicago Cubs fans given the team’s elimination from playoff contention. For that reason, it’s already time to start talking about the hot stove. Or at least the lukewarm stove. With an opening at first base this winter, and no clear [...]

Series Preview: Cubs v. Brewers, September 10 – September 12, 2010

Series Preview: Cubs v. Brewers, September 10 – September 12, 2010

By Brett on September 10, 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 [...]

Adam Dunn Loves the Chicago Cubs

Adam Dunn Loves the Chicago Cubs

By Brett on August 25, 2010

After trading Derrek Lee, the Chicago Cubs opened up a substantial void at first base – a void, though, that was likely to be opened after the season anyway. Lee is a free agent after this season, and the Cubs, who’d rebuffed Lee’s attempts to discuss an extension, seemed eager to explore alternatives for 2011. [...]

Ryan Dempster Misses Ted Lilly

Ryan Dempster Misses Ted Lilly

By Brett on August 5, 2010

When the Chicago Cubs traded Ted Lilly to the Los Angeles Dodgers last week, Ryan Dempster became the unquestioned number one in the Chicago Cubs’ rotation. But despite that nominal accolade, Ryan Dempster wishes Lilly was still around. He misses the bulldog. ”With Teddy, I always appreciated him every day for what a teammate he [...]
