This, I assure you, will be difficult to read. Whether you felt Ryne Sandberg was the right choice to manage the Chicago Cubs or not, and whether you hoped he would get a chance somewhere, I doubt many of you hoped that chance would be with the Cardinals.
So, hearing him speak about his time meeting with them yesterday, and picturing him in Cardinal Red, is not particularly fun. Still, it’s newsworthy, so here you go:
CUBS LINEUP — The NL Central standings are a mess. The Cubs and Reds (both 31-33) are tied for second. But then so are the Cardinals (30-32), who have the same winning percentage, albeit with one fewer win and loss....

CUBS PROSPECTS — Cubs second-rounder Jaxon Wiggins made his Myrtle Beach Pelicans debut on Thursday and looked excellent, as the Pelicans earned the only win for the Cubs down on the farm yesterday. That and more in today's Cubs Farm...
The 2024 Dominican Summer League kicked off this week, which means many of the top prospects from the 2024 International Free Agent class are beginning their professional careers (including top Chicago Cubs signing Fernando Cruz). It's good timing, then, to...
Surprise: the White Sox series did not magically fix all that ails the Cubs. They will have to fundamentally improve over a much, much, much longer trajectory for us to feel any kind of confidence that they can actually get...
[ankin_law] Yep. Not surprised or even all that disappointed anymore. This is just the way the Cubs season has gone. Small tiny pops of goodness tucked between mountains of injuries and underperformance. The latest? Well, actually, the latest is Seiya...
