This is not about a billy goat, a Bartman, or some new Century Club Curse hanging over the Chicago Cubs. Yes, the Cubs haven't won a World Series in over 100 years now, but it's no longer about a lack of talent or a propensity to choke.
Everybody wants to bury the Mets this week for their underachieving ways, but at least their struggles can be largely related to their lineup that...

Rich Harden looked his old self tonight, K’ing 9 against 1 BB, while allowing just 1 ER and (you may want to sit down for this) NO HOME RUNS ALLOWED. I know, shocking. Even more shocking, Carlos “El Caminante” Marmol came in and tossed an 8-pitch, 1-2-3 inning in relief. Gregg pitched an uneventful (save for HP ump John Hirschbeck’s inexplicable loss of...

Posted by Lionel on June 29, 2009.I previously announced the Class A minor league All Stars via the weekly ATAtM, but I decided to profile the numerous Tennessee Smokies who made the Southern League All Star team separately. Here are the six:Jay Jackson-This was an obvious selection. While his 4-3, 3.15 ERA overall doesn't jump out, his 4-0 record and 1.55 ERA in the last 9 starts...

It's anger management day at SoSG! We noted Milton Bradley's latest tantrum this weekend, wondering why Cubs manager Lou Piniella felt the need to single out this incident in a season that has featured so many. Upon further inspection, it turns out Bradley is able to calm down right quick. From the Chicago Sun-Times:
According to sources, Piniella then shouted at Bradley...

I hope everyone had a better weekend than the Chicago Cubs did as they dropped two out of three games on the South side of town to the crosstown rivals. The White Sox pretty much had their way in the three game series and the biggest highlight for the Cubs was probably the altercation between Lou Piniella and Milton Bradey on Friday.

Good ol’ Phil Rogers never disappoints. Here’s a bit of his (over) reactionary piece about Big Z’s performance on Sunday against the White Sox.
Get Carlos Zambrano out of here, even if the Cubs have to give him away. He’s not the guy you want as the ace of a curse-busting team, and at this point, [...]

Rich Harden pitches his best game of the season, going seven innings against the Pirates, giving up one run, one walk and striking out nine. Harden’s ERA goes down to 4.57, still over one run higher than his career mark. He didn’t give up a home run, which was his problem this season. [...]

Yesterday, the Chicago Tribune's Phil Rogers opined -- ridiculously, I noted -- that the Cubs should waive Carlos Zambrano. Tribune readers agree:
Your team wants Carlos Zambrano? Go ahead, take him.
That's what I proposed after Zambrano turned in another knuckleheaded performance on Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field. I suggested Cubs GM Jim Hendry put him on waivers and essentially...

As Lou Piniella was saying on Friday, enough's enough. Get Carlos Zambrano out of here, even if the Cubs have to give him away. He's not the guy you want as the ace of a curse-busting team, and at this point, it's wishful thinking that he'll ever mature into one.
