Lee opted to stay with the Cubs instead of waive his no-trade clause to be sent to the Angels. As far as I’m concerned, he’s one of the best Cubs first basemen of all-time. If he wants to stay and…

When it comes to Chicago Cubs baseball, if recent events have taught us anything, it’s never say always. One of my favorite things to say here at Prose and Ivy is, “We’ll Always Have Pittsburgh”. Given our performance in the…
Boy, Oh Boy

I still can’t believe the Central is turning into a two team race and it’s the REDS battling the Cards for the division lead. I felt in the beginning of the year that the Cubs are probably in a position…
2010 Cub Concerns: Head, Shoulders, Knees and ‘Tos
Posted: March 1, 2010 in DailiesTags: 2010, Chicago Cubs, Cubs, Dempster, Hendry, Lilly, Marmol, Piniella, Soriano, Soto, Zambrano
Head Carlos Zambrano and Carlos Marmol. A couple of Carloses (Carlosi?) that we need to worry about in the head category, the mental game. Zambrano had an awful ’09 by Big Z standards. Every from Hendry down to Ronnie Woo…
‘Lil’ Worried

Anyone else concerned about Ted Lilly?Our most consistent pitcher over the past few years has only begun throwing lightly after having arthroscopic surgery on his pitching shoulder two months ago. Hendry mentioned at the Cubs Convention today that Lilly is…
MLB Network 1, Cubs 0
Posted: December 13, 2009 in DailiesTags: 2009, Castillo, Cubs, Hendry, Lilly, MLB, MLB Network, off-season
So far this off-season the MLB Network has
more key free-agent acquistions than the Cubs do. Patience
will definitely be a virtue while we wait to find out what
last names will be attached to Chicago’s favorite bags of
laundry.Hendry…
Straight out of Central Casting

’07.’08.Oh no. Two years of division titles in the Central for the Cubs and that is where it stops. Cubs are hot lately but it’s too little, too late if you were hoping for a three-peat. Cardinals beat the Rockies…
Didn’t see that coming

Today’s broadcast of Prose and Ivy Cubs Blog Talk Radio went really well I must say for the first live broadcast. I didn’t get word out nearly early enough for people to know about it, mark it on their calendars…
Seven Ate Nine
Posted: September 6, 2009 in DailiesTags: 2009, Chicago Cubs, Cubs, Lilly, MLB, off-season, Pirates, playoffs, Rockies, Wells, wild card
There is an old children’s joke that reminds me of this Cubs season. “Why is six afraid of seven?”"Because seven eight nine.”As soon as we hit seven games back I felt that it was too much to overcome and that…
Is This too Matchy-Matchy?
Posted: September 3, 2009 in DailiesTags: 2009, Chicago Cubs, Cubs, Dempster, Lilly, playoffs, wild card, Zambrano
YES.We have no shot at making up ground in any race if we decide to match those above us win for win, loss for loss. The Cubs just wrapped up a pathetic 5-0 shutout effort against the crosstown Chicago White…
