Game One Hundred Sixty-One: Cubs (82-77) vs. Diamondbacks (69-91) Game Time - 12:05pm C.T. Coverage - TV: WGN TV - Radio: 720 WGN, XM Radio Channel 187 Location - Wrigley Field, Chicago Randy Wells (11-10, 3.18/1.31) vs. Daniel Cabrera (0-5, 6.07/2.04) Only two games remaining on the 2009 schedule ... Weather permitting the big question is, will the Cubs show up to play this afternoon? The Cubs have not shown up to the park since Ryan Dempster pitched a complete game shutout on Tuesday night against the Pirates. The Cubs have been outplayed in all aspects of the game by two 90-loss teams. This is not the way to finish a disappointing season. Derrek Lee is expected back in the lineup this afternoon ... Lee has missed the last two games due to personal reasons. According to a report from the Daily Herald, most of Lou Piniella's coaching staff is expected back next season, including Larry Rothschild. The official announcement could come as early as Monday. Today i...

Game Recap: Cubs 5, Diamondbacks 0 -- Randy Wells rides again

Via Goat Riders of the Apocalypse  |  October 03, 2009
Maybe knowing that he was down to the last hundred yards of the marathon, Randy Wells decided it was okay to give it all he had left.  Whatever the reason, Wells pitched 7 solid innings of 3-hit, 1-walk, 10-strikeout baseball to punctuate the end of his season.  Very fittingly, Jason Stark wrote an article today in which he presumptively awarded the NL Rookie of the Year...

Via Goat Riders of the Apocalypse  |  October 03, 2009
Daniel Cabrera (0-5, 6.07 ERA) vs. Randy Wells (11-10, 3.18 ERA) Story Lines Randy Wells' rotation spot for next season is pretty secure, I would guess, but I'm sure he would like to end the year with a better than .500 record. The Cubs, by the looks of it, looked terrible yesterday. Thank goodness, I didn't see anything. Who's Hot The Twins - Don't look...

2009 Cribbie Awards

Via Cubbies Crib  |  October 04, 2009
Last day of the season (for teams that aren’t good enough to be in the playoffs).  Time to hand out some awards for accomplishment or lack thereof to deserving Cubs players. Ryne Sandberg MVP Award: Derrek Lee.  Easy call here.  He leads the team in batting average, homers, RBI, runs and all those dopey made-up Bill [...]

Series Preview: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks

Via Goat Riders of the Apocalypse  |  October 02, 2009
OverviewWell it’s finally here. The end of the season. As tough as this season as been on some of us, I’m personally not looking forward to the winter. Do I want to see the Cubs win? Of course, but baseball is baseball. It’s a great game that people all across the country can enjoy the same way. The weather is hot, the beers are cold, and the game is there for us almost everyday...

Cubs Fire Von Joshua

Via Another Cubs Blog  |  October 04, 2009
Milton Bradley hasn’t been the only scapegoat this season. Gerald Perry was fired earlier in the season and things never improved. His replacement has now been fired. Joshua was offered his old gig as hitting coach at Iowa. At least Derrek Lee understands. ‘‘I hate to say it, but hitting coach is overrated,’’ said Derrek Lee, the team’s top offensive performer...
