2009 Cribbie Awards

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 [...]

Time for the Stretch

Let me hear ya! A one ... a two ... a three ... The nearly nine-month journey that began in Mesa back in February has come to an end. There is no reason for me to rehash what went wrong for the 2009 Chicago Cubs ... you know what happened. You lived through every pitch of every inning just like I did. With that said, I truly believe that one person is not responsible for this past...

Gamecast: October 3rd vs. Diamondbacks

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.

Series Preview: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks

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.
