Where the heck is EAMUS CATULI?
Where the heck are the iconic numbers that remind us all how long it's been since our Cubs won it all? AC0366103 (translation: 3 year since we won the Division, 66 years since we won
the Pennant, and 103 years since we won a World Series.
Ubi Est Eamus Catuli ?
Either Theo and the boys didn't like the reminder or this is just temporary while they do some off-season work.
Either way, we'd like some dang answers!

The Chicago Cubs were in dire need for a big change, as they hit rock bottom in 2011.
The Cubs couldn’t score runs, had the most errors in baseball with 134 in total and finished the season 71-91. Everything bad that happened did and looking at the bigger picture maybe this was the best thing that could have happened in Chicago because ownership stopped...

Spring Training Battle update: Jeff Samardzija and Chris Volstad looking good
I know its still early and most of the Cubs starters have made two (or fewer) starts, but so far I have been impressed with the performances of Jeff Samardzija and Chris Volstad and they may have taken the lead for the last two rotation spots.
Samardzija, despite giving up 2 runs in 3 innings his last time out, has allowed just those 2 runs in 6 IP so far, while striking out...

The deal is worth a total of $6 million - with $3 million coming via a signing bonus, the Chicago Tribune reported. The initial contract was reported last month, but the details were finalized on Sunday.

Now he's wishing Dale Sveum good luck and let me be the 87,965th person to tell you this: all the luck in the world ain't gonna save Dale Sveum's job in Chicago. That's just how it is...

The Chicago Cubs are so renowned for their losing ways that were they to miraculously change their ways, the city of Chicago may very well disintegrate before our eyes. That is what they are hoping for with the hiring of former Boston Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein and former San Diego Padres general manager Jed Hoyer.
Like he did in Boston, Epstein is trying to bring about...

A couple of days ago, Doc Blume wrote an interesting post about the obvious lack of demand for Cubs tickets this year. There are still tickets available for every game on the schedule, including Opening Day and the Red Sox series. There are large numbers of tickets available for most of the other games on the schedule. That is all true, but Doc concludes two things from this...

Practice Game recap
Chris Volstad pitched three strong inninngs yesterday, extending his spring training scoreless streak to six innings. As with Samardzija and the other starter candidates, small sample size abounds, but I think he's got a good shot making the rotation. Tom Ricketts seemed to think so too during his brief time in the booth with Len and Mick. Former top prospect...
