Forum: Chicago Cubs

Ok, I could have timed this post better, because Lou is already gone. I thought a few of you might want to give a couple of sentences about what you think about him in general (past and present) and what you thought of him as the Cubs skipper. My thoughts on Lou start long ago, as a kid, when he...

I heard that sammy sosa is upset with the cubs organization for not retiring his number or honoring him in any way, Id have to think that its a bit too early for the cubs to even think of rfetiring his number. Ive never liked Sosa and not because im a Sox fan but because he wasnt a good teammate...

Cubs deal Lee to Braves for 3 pitching prospects http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/08/cubs-lee-declines-to-discuss-reported-braves-deal.html

http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/08/cubs-trade-fontenot-to-giants.html not really sure about the guy they got in return, but fontenot didnt really have a place on the team anymore, and he was pretty limited in his abilities in the field.

So was it worth it to get a 2B in return and a projected (potential) #3 pitcher? Obviously this could end up working out in the future, but these were 2 really good character guys we're losing. Thoughts?

Greetings, Cub fans! New member here- Indians fan, also familiar with heartbreak and a championship drough. I guess we have something in common. Anyway, I want to know if any of you guys were around when Wrigley Field was thinking about putting up the lights (before or around 1988) What...

Do you think Ron Santo should be enshrined in Cooperstown? I do and his career totals proves that he should be in the Hall of Fame. He is one of the best third baseman in baseball history. He was the best 3rd baseman of his era. He was the 2nd 3rd baseman in history to hit over 300 HR's. If you are...

http://www.anothercubsblog.net/2010-articles/july/how-to-contend-in-2011-part-1.html Is Cliff Lee realistic if Zambrano and Lilly are both gone? Would Soriano to 1st Base be a good move? Can we contend? Because this line-up I like, under the new Manager Ryne Sandberg: C - Soto

Though you'll undoubtedly go into Cooperstown with an Expos cap on your plaque, your years with the Cubs will always be remembered. We knew you were a Hall of Famer for years and now it's confirmed.

The Cubs finished the month 10-16 and pushing themselves to 10 games under .500. At the end of May I said the Cubs were basically playing for a winning record at that point. Well, a month later and now the Cubs are basically playing to keep the wheels from falling completely off. The Cubs are...

I remember the first time I saw Sean get thrown into a game. He was young, 22yo or 23yo, but I immediately saw his grit, determination, and most of all, his stuff. I came onto this forum and said , "this kid has a bright future". Its been a little up and down for him. He hasn't pitched the...

I’ve done this article for four years now and have been dead on as well as being way off in the process (no one saw the Colvin pick as he wasn’t even a Top 100 prospect). What I’ll list below are scouting reports on possible first round selections the Cubs are currently looking at as well as some...

Carlos Silva has done it again. He has won his 8th game of the year and is off to the best Cubs' start in the last 100 years. He turned in a fine performance today in which he struck out 5 and only allowed 4 hits and a walk over 7 innings. The one run he allowed in the game helped lower his...

So I was talking with my friends the other day about tattoos and I came to the conclusion that if I ever live to see the day when the Cubs win the World Series I'm going to get 1908 tattooed on one set of knuckles and the year it happens in on the other. I realize I'm still young and stupid but...

I know, why even bring him up? He held an entire club back during his time with the Cubs and still can't stop from whining about it. However, I actually think this stuff is fun to watch. Milton Bradley continues to look more and more like a complete fool, and we get to sit here and watch it...

Morrie Martin appeared in only three games with the Cubs in 1959, and he posted an ERA of 19.29, however I thought you would be interested in knowing that he passed away on the 24th. He was involved in a pretty notable trade between the Cubs and Indians as well. The Indians traded Hall of Famer...

Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts, a star of the 1950 Whiz Kids who stayed connected to the 21st-century Phillies, died Thursday morning at his home in Temple Terrace, Fla. Read more: http://www.kansascity.com/2010/05/06/1929934/phillies-great-robin-roberts-dead.html#ixzz0nDDsD82i He pitched...
