I was unable to watch Zambrano’s gem in San Francisco last night because I’m camping. Yet, I can take the time to comment on it…ah, technology and a wise camping location.
But last night is exactly why Zambrano needs to be kept with the Cubs. He has proven that he can be an elite pitcher and [...]

Ok, so I’m a little late to this party. I’ve defended him for the entire season for two reasons.
1. Milton Bradley has abilities. He’s a good baseball player and he could contribute to the Cubs.

After his 7-strikeout performance on Sunday that improved his record to 12-8 (8-1 at Wrigley), Ted Lilly said, “I take pride in what I do. That’s for sure. It’s really important to me. This is a pretty special opportunity I have, not only to play Major League Baseball, but to be able to do it [...]

You know, it hasn’t been difficult at all to find scary stats recently. Today’s scary stat shows how much the Cubs just handed the division over to the Cardinals.

A little less than a month ago, I shared what I considered to be the scariest stat of the 2009 season. It’s only gotten worse for Miles. He has played in about half of the Cubs games this year, 64 games. Before this season, Miles was averaging about 34 RBI’s in a season and his [...]
