Another day, another minor league deal and Spring Training invite.
This to former Chicago Cub rumor target, pitcher Braden Looper. You
may recall that the Cubs expressed some interest in Looper last year,
before he ultimately sat out the 2010 season. He was pretty rough in
2009 – 5.22 ERA as a starter for the Brewers – but he’s theoretically
healthy and will get a shot (as much of a shot as any non-roster
invitee gets) to make the Cubs’ bullpen as a long man.
Although it looked like the Cubs were about to follow The Script once again today, they finally made some critical edits. They did get the great starting pitching performance that has frequently been available to them, with Shōta Imanaga pitching...
As expected, lefty Jordan Wicks goes back on the Injured List today, this time with an oblique issue. It has to be frustrating for him to only have just returned from the forearm strain, and then go right back on...

Take it from someone who writes far too many words about the Chicago Bulls – sometimes you need to look into the past to feel any sort of happiness. As the Chicago Cubs continue their remarkably frustrating play, a clip...
The Cubs lost their starting pitcher, barely even threatened to score, wasted a brilliant bullpen day, and lost the game. It's not quite the same 'ole story, but it might as well be. Jordan Wicks injured his oblique in the...
Just two appearances into his return from the Injured List (forearm), and having just taken over the rotation spot vacated by Ben Brown (neck stress reaction), something's not right with Jordan Wicks. And he had to leave today's game after...
