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…
Miles and Fox were traded for not a whole lot to the Oakland A’s. Good. SOO happy that we got rid of Miles. I was never all that thrilled when he came over to begin with and he didn’t deliver…

Since I last posted, the Ricketts family took over ownership of our beloved Chicago Cubs. Love their stance on looking at the Cubs from their owner seats the same way they would have if they still owned bleacher seats. Someone…

Cubs sign Rudy Jaramillo as their hitting coach for 2010. His time in Texas was littered with experience guiding Soriano and Bradley through productive years at the plate. You have to wonder if his time with them, plus the fact…
Seven Ate Nine

Anyone else finding it difficult to be
fiscally responsible this holiday season? I am doing
this year on a strict budget like never before and it has
been tough to not go over budget on anyone on my list,
and…

Last year at this time I was wondering if
the Cubs would deliver Fukudome for the holidays. They

the big acquisition will be Milton Bradley (insert holiday

When it comes to Felix Pie’s potential and
what he can on the major league level, fans are split with

told you Pie could be the guy that…
