Not much going on with the Cubs. They want to trade Scott Eyre and have been looking for a lefty hitting outfielder. Names like Ibanez, Giles and DeJesus have been thrown around.

We here at The BearDown have made many statements about Wrigley Field, specifically our love for The Museum of Sport on the Corner of Addison and Clark....Why do we care so much for Wrigley? Because Wrigley is unlike any other ball park in the world. Take into account the following 10 reasons (in no particular order).

If things continue the way they have this season, it sure would be nice to see that on the front page of the Trib in September. Of course it would be the subheading under the gigantic print that states CUBS HEADED TO SERIES. Yes I'm getting ahead of myself, and yes I am the same guy who wrote of the dreaded lump appearing in Cubfans throats when it looked like the season wasn...

I was trying not to do back to back posts on someone I've covered to death, but alas this story just needs to be examined. Erin Andrews obviously wears different outfits in the clubhouse, or on the sidelines, than traditional reporters and finally someone is calling her out because of it.

I lost the internet connection in the 8th inning so I'm writing this as the game is still going on. At the moment, the Cubs lead 5-1 and Ryan Dempster was just taken out after warming up in the bottom of the 8th, but Rickie Weeks was announced as a pinch hitter and Lou went to Chad Gaudin.

What else can you say? 4 games series against a team just 1 out. On the road. 4 wins. 4 dominating wins. 3 blowouts.
The Cubs finished the sweep of the Brewers this afternoon. It was a laugher. In more ways than one.
Jim Edmonds gave the cubs a 1-0 lead in the 2nd with a home run and hit a grand slam in the 4th to make it 5-0. It was 9-1 in the 9th when Eric Gagne...
