There’s going to be a Chicago Cubs Firesale perhaps
While perusing twitter today, I caught this nugget from USA TODAY baseball writer Bob Nightengale:

Starlin Castro And The Odd Stat Of The Day
If you’ve been reading my posts over the last eight months, you know I enjoy writing about quirky players, quirky stats and quirky stories. If you enjoy those too, read on. If not, read on anyway. You might find this one interesting.
Monday afternoon, Matthew Leach, a terrific national baseball writer for MLB.com, tweeted: “Starlin Castro: more CS than BB. Guessing not...

Did Cubs Bro Wearing Back-To-Back World War Champs Or Jordan Bro Have Better Play On This HR Ball?
No need to sugarcoat it, the Cubs suck old wrinkly balls this year. 11 games out. Tied for worst team in baseball. The only reason to even pay attention to the team is to watch drunken Cubs fan get drunk, maybe get in a fight and of course watch a home run shot bounce of his hand and onto Waveland. For example, yesterday featured such a bro and his pack of bro buddies. Cubs bro showed...

Sveum juggles batting order as Cubs drop 10th straight
The speculation centered on the Cubs making a lineup change involving shortstop Starlin Castro. Manager Dale Sveum made that change Friday night, but it was not the one that was the center of the speculation. In the 1-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates -- the Cubs' 10th straight defeat -- Castro moved up in the batting order from the No. 3 spot to second. There had been talk...

Open letter to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel
Dear Mr. Mayor,
As a life-long Cub fan, I have been following the political events surrounding the Cubs rather closely. It seems that Tom Ricketts, who is the primary team owner, has a very wealthy father who lives in Nebraska. His father was thinking about donating to a Political Action Committee and publishing some political ads which are critical of our current president,...

Houston's Johnson ejected against Cubs
Houston third baseman Chris Johnson has been ejected from Tuesday night's game with the Chicago Cubs after slamming his helmet on the ground and arguing a call at first base in the fourth inning.
With the game tied at 1-1, Johnson hit a ground ball to shortstop Starlin Castro, who made a diving stop and whose throw to first appeared to barely beat Johnson. Johnson was called...

Is Sveum seriously the best that Thoyer could have done?
The pitchforks and torches are out among many Cubs fans (and even the media) after Dale Sveum bunted with two men on and nobody out with a nonpitcher at the plate not once but twice late in yesterday's game. Even worse, ont of those cases was with the Cubs second best hitter, Starlin Castro. Sveum [...]

Starlin Castro is Good at Baseball
During his chat last Wednesday, Dave Cameron ranked the top MLB shortstops as Troy Tulowitzki, Jose Reyes, and then a huge chasm before the next best guy. As we are no longer in the era of offensive shortstops, the guys who can swing a big stick like Tulo really stand out from the crowd. I agree with Dave for the most part, but there is one guy I would add to that list who is quickly...

Joe Buck calls Cubs' World Series win
Check out the video. FOX Sports’ Joe Buck gave his version of a play-by-play call if the Chicago Cubs actually won the World Series. It’s purely hypothetical, of course.
Keep in mind that the last time the Cubs won the World Series was in 1908. The last time they appeared in the World Series was in 1945. That’s the longest World Series drought in the history of...
