Cubs Live Game Thread: Help Us Tyler Colvin, You're Our Only Hope
2009-09-24 00:11:00 (wipes tears from eyes) Oh, that clip never gets old. As you guys know (and btw, sorry about that), millertime and I have been constantly sparring over . . . a certain Cub for the last several months, on a seemingly interminable basis. I've finally run out of gass on this issue, and I desire to never discuss it again. So, by way of an olive branch, I'm giving millertime the Star Wars-themed game thread he's longed for. By way of an even BIGGER peace offering, I give millertime the story of Milton's time with the Chicago Cubs (as millertime sees it): Lou: For over a thousand generations, the Chicago Cubs were the guardians of peace and justice...

2009-09-23 16:48:00 Rookie Ty ColvinContinues his great debutThis time with his gloveDerrek Lee's still hotGets his 35th home runGoing 3-for-4The Cubs are doing their best to keep fans interested as the season winds down. Rookie "phenom" Tyler Colvin was impressive once again, this time on defense as he robbed Ryan Braun of a 3-run homer in the 9th inning. Randy Wells had another quality start, giving up just 1 run (a Prince Fielder home run in the 2nd after the offense had given him a 6-run lead) and striking out five Brewers in 6 innings to notch his 11th win. Only Ted Lilly has more wins, with 12. The Cubs will try to extend their winning streak to 4 games by sweeping...
Cubs Suspend Milton Bradley
2009-09-23 15:53:00 WEDNESDAY, 1:53pm: Paul Sullivan notes that the Cubs have yet to file paperwork regarding Bradley's suspension and the MLB Players Association can't file a grievance until they do. At this point, it's basically an agreement between the club and Bradley that he won't return this season.SUNDAY: According to Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune, the Cubs have suspended disgruntled outfielder Milton Bradley for the rest of the season.Bradley, who signed a three-year, $30MM contract last winter, took shots at the Cubs organization during an interview with the Arlington Heights Daily Herald on Saturday, and has battled with fans on the North Side of Chicago for much of the season. GM Jim Hendry is expected to seek out a trade partner for the 31-year-old right fielder this offseason. "The last few days became too much for me to tolerate," Hendry said Sunday, fed up with the player's attitude toward the fans and media in Chicago. "I'm certainly not going to let our great fans become e...

2009-09-23 11:59:00 When mythical TV families have Thanksgiving dinner, and before they eat, they go around and each say what they're thankful for. In reality, everyone's too hungry to wait for that chicanery, but today I'll pretend like I'm on a TV show and say what I'm thankful for regarding the Cubs. First up, I'm thankful for Derrek Lee, since July 1:The Cubs won their third straight since suspending Milton Bradley for the season and Lee has continued his sizzling September. He's hitting .408 for the month and is 6 of 8 in this series with two home runs and six RBIs. Lee has 10 homers in his last 20 games and leads the majors with 24 since July 1.I'm also thankful...

But @c1t1z3nx captured by thoughts with his great tweet. You should follow him for more great Cubs tweets. Thank you, Seth, I hope you don't mind that I've used your tweet here. It looks like the departure of Milton Bradley removed a huge weight from the shoulders of the Cubs. The bats came alive, with back-to-back home runs in the second inning (Lee and Ramirez, for the 4th time this year) and hits for all the position players except Micah Hoffpauir. Tyler Colvin made his major league debut...
The scorecard on Tribune's ownership of Cubs: Lots of revenue, no titl
2009-09-21 17:14:00 The merciful end of the Cubs season also will close the books on the Tribune's ownership of the team. When they go to spring training next year, there will be a new owner in place. At least, we hope.It has been an eventful run for Tribune Co. since it purchased the team for $20 million in 1981 and sold it for $845 million this year. There's little question the Tribune's ownership was wildly successful from a business standpoint. On the field? Not so much.Here is our final scorecard of the Tribune's ownership on our Business of Sports blog....

But Matt Holliday was caught breaking the rules with a wide slide, and the Cubs got a double play to end the ninth inning with the game tied. The Cubs failed to score in the 10th, but Esmailin Caridad got the Cards 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning. Then, in the top of the 11th, Jake Fox hit a 2-run home run to give the Cubs the lead.

This time he singled to lead off the bottom of the ninth - after the Cubs tied the game in the top of the inning - and scored the winning run on a Brendan Ryan single off Cubs "closer" Carlos Marmol. ...

And it's hard to win when you give up home runs that shouldn't be home runs:"I caught the ball, and just the fence jarred it loose," said Scales, who also grounded into a double play to end the Cubs ninth. "That's all there is to it, really. I had it, and the top of the fence jarred it loose, and what are you going to do?...

Matt Holliday's opposite-field, walk-off home run off Aaron Heilman gave the Cardinals the victory, sending the Cubs to their third straight loss.Ted Lilly pitched 7 2/3 innings of two-run ball but got a no-decision after leaving in a 2-2 tie. After the Cubs knocked out three straight doubles with one out in the first, John Smoltz held them to three more hits in a six-inning stint."Early in the game, his heater in the first at-bat was pretty straight," Ryan Theriot said. "The second at-bat, he was a different pitcher. ... There's a reason why he's a Hall of Famer." Translation: The bullpen...

But beating the Cardinals would provide a little satisfaction by delaying their division title a few more days. It started out great. Three triples gave the Cubs a two run lead in the first. But a Mark DeRosa triple helped the Cards to tie it in the fifth.Then, another mid-season acquisition, Matt Holliday, gave St. Louis the win on a walk-off home run. It was another loss for our bullpen, this one being charged to Aaron Heilman....

2009-09-17 23:48:00 Fourth inning grand slamRandy Wells' low point todayCubs settle for splitRandy Wells had control problems today, walking two in the first (but escaping after giving up just one run) and then giving up two more walks in the fourth. With a single sandwiched between those last walks, the bases were loaded for Jody Gerut who hit his second career grand slam to give the Brewers a 5-2 lead. The Cubs climbed back to within one run on a Micah Hoffpauir double in the bottom of the 4th but never really recovered, managing only one hit in the last five innings. Now it's on to St. Louis for a series that is only meaningful for bragging rights, and a chance for...
The Cubs Need to Say Goodbye to Rich Harden
2009-09-17 16:36:00 Rich Harden's inability to pitch deep into games combined with his injury history makes it likely he won't be a Cub in 2010.With the Cubs looking towards next year and trying to figure how to improve their team without having a big budget increase lets take a look at their salary commitments for 2010 and how their payroll may prevent them from making many major moves.Here are the Cubs who are already under contract for next year:Alfonso Soriano 19 millionCarlos Zambrano 18.875 millionAramis Ramirez 16.75 millionKosuke Fukudome 14 millionRyan Dempster 13.5 millionDerrek Lee 13 millionTed Lilly 13 millionMilton Bradley 10.33Jeff Samardzija 1.0 million----------------------------------------------119.455 millionAdd in to this number arbitration eligible players like Ryan Theriot, Carlos Marmol, Aaron Heilman, Angel Guzman,...

2009-09-17 11:22:00 The Cubs are back to 6.5 out in the Wild Card race after last night's 9-5 loss to the Brewers. Yet the question lingers: when do I consider the Cubs in or out of the race? I know that, with my head, I should consider them out. I think you know how the rest goes. But now I'm not sure what to think, because even Lou sounds really confused about the situation:"You can see how many things have gone wrong for us here this year, and you can see that we're still in a race," Piniella said. "It goes to tell you with some improvement that you can get right back on top quickly. "Just staying healthy, alone, would help...
Cubs Live Game Thread: Fear Not, Cubs Fans!
2009-09-16 23:27:00 Worried about Sam Fuld being out for a week? Terrified about our lack of scrappy OFs to fill his shoes? Fear not, Cubs fans. Help is on the way! The Cubs called up So Taguchi from Triple-A Iowa, and he will be in uniform for Wednesday's game against the Brewers. Taguchi batted .248 for Iowa with four homers and 24 RBIs. The Cubs felt they needed an extra outfielder after Sam Fuld strained his right thumb. Fuld will be sidelined at least a week. Taguchi, 40, played for the Phillies last season, appearing in 88 games and batting .220. So, as you can see, we have nothing to worry about. What more could we ask for than a guy...

2009-09-16 11:53:00 It's never easy, is it?The Cubs won again, that's 8 out of 9. And they spanked the Brewers, 13-7. Derrek Lee got his 100th RBI, Geo Soto hit a home run and the offense drew 12 walks. But of course, the story isn't about any of that, it's about Big Z. Zambrano found himself staked to a 4-0 lead by the fourth inning, but he couldn't hold it. The offense rescued him, and the Cubs went on to a 13-7 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field. He threw 39 of his 103 pitches in the fifth inning as the Brewers sent 10 men to the plate and scored 5 runs after two outs....

But Soto's solo home run in the 5th tied it up. Then 2 walks, 2 HBPs and a Prince Fielder throwing error helped the Cubs to score 5 times in the 6th on only 2 hits - including Soto's 2-RBI single. Two more runs in the seventh (while Len and Bob flirted with Drew Barrymore), and another in the eighth, meant that even after Samardzija gave up 2 in the 9th the Cubs managed...

Alas, unless Colorado, San Fran, Florida, and Atlanta undergo collapses the likes of which the world has not seen since 1969, it's just another boring series at the end of a disappointing year. Believe it or not, we've actually picked up a few games in the WC race, now finding ourselves 7.5 back with 21 left to play. On the other hand, if the Cubs decide to take out some of their long-simmering frustration on the Brewers, this series could be a big pile of awesome. Think about it. How much would...

2009-09-12 11:53:00 The Cubs went and won their fourth straight game yesterday, thanks in no small part to a squirrel who graced the field with his good luck and plucky attitude. Also, not thanks to Rich Harden, who graced the field with his tremendous buttocks and high pitch count.Harden threw 40 pitches in the first inning on the way to 103 over 4 innings. He couldn't qualify for the victory. That went to rookie Jeff Stevens, who earned his first major-league win despite giving up a game-tying 3-run homer to Jonny Gomes in the fifth. As for Harden, this was the 10th time in 25 starts, including 3 straight, that he's gone fewer than 6 innings. A $7 million pitcher this year,...

Paul Sullivan gives us ten reasons to keep watching the Cubs. Warning, some of these may be stupid: 1 Cra-Z's starts : When Zambrano walked off the mound last year before Piniella got there, the manager called him back and told him never to do that again. When Zambrano walked off the mound muttering Wednesday, Piniella chided him in the dugout. (snip) 2 I-Cubs: Randy Wells' arm, Jake Fox's bat, Andres Blanco's glove and Sam Fuld's...

I didn't see the video, and Pat and Ron didn't have an angle where they could read lips, so we'll have to rely on eyewitness testimony to decide what happened.

But in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the New York Mets, Piniella rested shortstop Ryan Theriot, who is in a 1-for-17 slump, and watched Andres Blanco make a play that defied belief. Blanco dived to his left for a Jeff Francoeur grounder, rolled over and made a perfect throw to first in mid-roll to get Francoeur."That's as good a play as I've seen made at the big-league level," Piniella said. "Just a fantastic, fantastic [play]. I don't know how he got the ball over to first base. I...
The Cubs Need to Sign the #1 Free Agent This Winter

That means every area of the team and the organization is under review with new ownership taking over after the World Series.The best first move the Ricketts Family could make would be to hire Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa and pitching coach Dave Duncan for the Cubs.

As Gordo points out, if, before the year, you knew that Derek Lee would have the year he's having and Rich Harden would be on pace for 29 starts, you'd be wondering how many games over 100 the Cubs would win this year. Unfortunately, that didn't quit turn out to be the case. But at least we can revel in yesterday's win over the Mets. Rich Harden (9-8) struck out 10 in five innings, Aramis Ramirez hit a two-run shot and Carlos Marmol pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for his ninth save.Lee returned to the lineup after missing two...
