Tom Ricketts and family will be introduced to Cubs fans everywhere in a press conference on Friday morning at 11am CST and probably a couple dozen TV and radio interviews.

- Nick Steiner takes a look at Milton Bradley using Pitch F/X data and comes away impressed.
The fact that Bradley has such a bad year - and it wasn't even that bad

MLBTR has a couple of posts up this morning about Milton Bradley. One of them says the Cubs may be talking with the Blue Jays about Vernon Wells. This would be an awful idea.

In recent years Dusty Baker, Latroy Hawkins, Jacque Jones, and now Milton Bradley claimed to have received racist hate mail and racist taunts in the field. Although here at NQTC I’ve [...]

The Chicago Cubs Have Ricketts! (No One Has Used That Title Yet, I'm Sure)
