submitted by bmcginni 2 days ago (http://www.toweldrills.com/2008...)

The Cubs have called up 4 guys to supplement the team, all from Iowa, added two guys from the D.L., and made a few other roster moves, all of which will be detailed here. This is the first of likely two groups coming to Chicago...the Cubs are expected to make another selection after the I-Cubs more...

The 8/31 Exemption (and How to Use It)

submitted by thecubreporter 16 days ago (http://www.thecubreporter.com/2...)

August 31st is an important date for contending MLB teams, because that's the date that determines eligibility for post-season rosters. To be eligible to play in the MLB post-season, a player must be on the club's 25-man roster or 15-day or 60-day DL as of 8/31. However, any player more...

Angel's in the Bullpen

submitted by thecubreporter 5 days ago (http://www.thecubreporter.com/2...)

Angel Guzman (September '07 TJS) had what was likely his final rehab outing last night at Iowa, pitching the 8th & 9th in a GF non-save situation in an I-Cubs victory, throwing two shutout inings (31 pitches - 23 strikes). With his minor league rehab going well, I fully expect the Cubs to more...

A Stefani September: Lieber. Angel.. Music.. Hoff-power.

I started a thread regarding the Sun-Times article this morning stating that many of the Cubs September call-ups may be delayed as the Iowa Cubs clinched the playoffs. The I-Cubs will host the Oklahoma RedHawks (Texas Rangers AAA affiliate) starting Sept 3rd in a best of 5 game series. The more...

Monday Morning Musings

submitted by edg2791 on June 23, 2008 (http://mlb-rumors.blogspot.com/...)

The Chicago Cubs must be using their day off to savor sweeping their cross-town rivals, the White Sox. In the meantime, it's hard not to notice what Pinella has been doing with their outfield. While Soriano sits out at least another week with a broken hand, Pinella has been using an impressive more...
