Derrek Lee is making Cub fans very quickly forget Sammy Sosa. He hit two more home runs today leadng the Cubs to a 5-1 win over the Rockies. If he keeps this up the rest of the year, I don’t care where the Cubs are in te standings, Lee will be the MVP. […]

I’m not going to go on about curses and whatnot but WTF?
It was about this time last year that Woody’s arm fell off and Sammy’s back was wrenched out by a sneeze and they still ended up coming close to pulling out a playoff bid. However, they are in more of a […]

So here comes the obligitory “It’s the park’s fault” article where the players complain that the reason they aren’t hitting is the wind in Wrigley.

Even the headline […]

I’d love to be able to comment on another bullpen meltdown after Z threw 1 hit ball for 7 innings, but FOX doesn’t want anyone on the West Coast to see baseball being played on a Saturday before noon. Eventhouhg the LA-LAA game doesn’t start till one, thanks to FOX’s rediculous blackout restrictions, […]

There’s a Cubs roundtable discussion over at Beyond The Boxscore with everyone’s favorite bleacher bum/Director’s Guild member, Al Yellon, and one of the biggest outside insiders in baseball, Will Carrol. The disscusion covers everything from Big Z’s pitchcounts, to who might replace Dusty, to the current Savior of the Month, Aubrey Huff.
The […]

The headline for a Sun-Times article regarding the Cubs going into the weekend city series -
Progress depends on improvement
