Move over, Caleb Lloyd. You may just have some new competition.
After going nearly my whole life without seeing someone snag two homers in a single game, I've now seen it done twice thanks to this Cubs fan in the video above. The lucky guy was on the receiving end of a home run hit by San Diego's Carlos Quentin as well as Darwin Barney's walk-off blast to cap off an impressive day at the yard.
And although the feat should be seen as nothing less than spectacular, I still got to believe catching two in the same inning (on back-to-back hitters) is still more impressive.

Attention Cubs Management: Please do NOT sign Ryan Dempster to an extension.
OK, so its been a pretty slow year as far as Cubs news goes. The Cubs are in last place and Carlos Zambrano is not around to blow up after another one of his bad outings.
However, I recently came this gem of an article that made me cringe. Apparently, Cubs President Theo Epstein is open to signing Ryan Dempster to an extension.
First let me say that Dempster has been tremendous...

The Cubs are 18-32 at the end of May. 30% of their season completed and they currently are tied with Minnesota for the second worst record in baseball. In May they suffered through a 12 game losing streak that exposed all the warts on the team. The losing streak was comprised of poor hitting, pitching, bullpen, fielding, base running, coaching and a bad call or two peppered...

3 Reasons the Chicago Cubs Should Trade Starlin Castro

May 31, 2012
I’ve been saying for weeks on Twitter that the Chicago Cubs, who will be one of only a handful of MLB teams selling over the next couple of months, should trade Starlin Castro, their young shortstop who has been labeled the franchise player for the time being.
But when I look at Castro, I see a great piece for a team rather than the guy that an organization should build around...

Do you know who Steve Clevenger is? Well, he's the backup catcher for the Chicago Cubs who is currently batting .500 for the season (13-26). The 26 year old was drafted in the 7th round in 2006 and has hit for average at every stop along his minor league journey (.309/.795 in 7 minor league seasons).

Fresh off a 3-game sweep of the Pacific Coast League Padres, the Cubs head out to San Francisco to start a weekend series with the Giants, and all anyone wants to talk about is the impending trade of the best position player on the Cubs.
Before Cubom debates the merits of one Starlin Castro, I would be shocked if he were traded, and I think many feel the same way I do. However,...

From Jon Heyman:If the Yankees decide they need a starter at the trade deadline, and it's loooking more likely they might, the pitcher that interests them most is Matt Garza of the Cubs.
The Red Sox also could have interest in Garza, which could result in another showdown between baseball's biggest rivals. That would also represent a big benefit to the Cubs.
