But I figure what the hell else are we gonna talk about until spring. According to THT’s Pwins, the Cubs were an 84 win club in 2009.

Meanwhile, Derek Lee's helmet becomes a metaphor of a fading season. Even the logo can't hold its head up high.

Closer Links:Pecking Order. It's broken into "Risks," closers who could lose their jobs if traded and "Rewards," relievers who might get some saves in struggling bullpens.

Now we don't know for sure if this a cerveza or not, but I'm with HRD....I think we can say this kid is throwing one back during the Cubs-Giants game yesterday. Watch closely behind the dugout after Derek Lee records the second out of the inning.... Sorry for the choppiness, but I thought the slo mo at the end got the job done. I guess it could have been a lemonade and the ice melted, but that sure looks like an Old Style...

Anytime you nearly get blasted in the face with a pitch, I think it's fair game to charge the mound. That being said, what a sorry attempt at a punch from both Lee and Young. They both whiffed pretty bad; maybe they'd be better off going for the Ric Flair chop on each other.

He was tearful when discussing the situation with reporters saying that she needs a 'miracle.' He's told the Cubs he won't be back this season. It's been a tough year for Derek Lee.
