Carlos Zambrano Handled the Move to the Bullpen Like a Professional, Even if He Was Upset

Carlos Zambrano Handled the Move to the Bullpen Like a Professional, Even if He Was Upset

By Brett on August 26, 2010

Now that Carlos Zambrano is back in the rotation and pitching reasonably well (that is to say, the result have been reasonably good even if his pitches don’t look so good), questions are resurfacing about the Cubs’ decision to put Zambrano in the bullpen when Ted Lilly was ready to return to the rotation from [...]

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 [...]

Casey Coleman to Chicago, Carlos Silva to the DL

Casey Coleman to Chicago, Carlos Silva to the DL

By Brett on August 2, 2010

After experiencing a racing heart and chest discomfort, Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Silva spent what was probably a pretty scary night in the hospital. The good news is that everything checked out, but the bad news is that no one is yet quite sure what’s wrong with him – so the Cubs have put him [...]

Series Preview: Brewers v. Cubs, August 2 – August 4, 2010

Series Preview: Brewers v. Cubs, August 2 – August 4, 2010

By Brett on August 2, 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 [...]

Thomas Diamond, Not Jeff Samardzija, Will Be the New Ted Lilly

Thomas Diamond, Not Jeff Samardzija, Will Be the New Ted Lilly

By Brett on August 2, 2010

Now that Ted Lilly is off to greener pastures in Los Angeles, the Chicago Cubs will need a new starter in their rotation. The obvious long-term choice is Carlos Zambrano, but he’s neither stretched out nor pitching effectively, so, despite his protests, he’ll remain in the bullpen for at least a little while longer. In [...]

God’s Wrath Watch: Carlos Silva’s Heart is Racing

God’s Wrath Watch: Carlos Silva’s Heart is Racing

By Brett on August 1, 2010

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 [...]

Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot Have Been Traded to the Dodgers

By Brett on July 31, 2010

Part of the return is expected to be second baseman Blake DeWitt, but no word yet on dollars and the rest of the return. We’ll keep you posted. UPDATE: Looks like the Cubs are [...]

We Hardly Liked Ye: Cubs Release Bob Howry

We Hardly Liked Ye: Cubs Release Bob Howry

By Brett on July 30, 2010

Carlos Zambrano has officially come back to the Cubs, and because the team hasn’t traded Ted Lilly yet (the clock is ticking, Jim), they had to make a corresponding roster move. That move was the release of one Robert Howry. And there was much rejoicing. Howry, who turns 37 on Aug. 4, was 1-3 with [...]
