• Why Joe Did Not Go

  
  IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS... caught. — Authority: 564
  With a $200 million payroll, a new $1.5 billion stadium despoiled by conspicuously empty seats, anxious, impatient management and fans thirsting for victory after a postseason-less 2008 campaign, and a 15-17 record, 6-1/2 games behind the division leaders five agonizing weeks into the season, a 22-4 loss to Cleveland ...

  Kap's Corner — Authority: 491
  Its amazing to see the reaction anytime I write about Carlos Zambranoand his performance as the ace of the Cubs rotation. If I point outanything negative about Big Z his supporters come rushing to hisdefense. If I say something nice about "Z" those who dont like himbecome very vocal. Yesterday, I talked about free ...

• Sox make a deal (maybe), Yanks make history, Cubs make the usual bad news

  
  RosenBlog — Authority: 589
  The White Sox acquired left-handed-hitting Mark Teahen, according to a report, and I’m thinking, what, Gabe Kapler wasn’t available? If the report is true, Teahen would come from Kansas City in exchange for second baseman Chris Getz and corner infielder Josh Fields. Teahen played every infield position except ...

• Some Ideas for the Cubs

  
  Kap's Corner — Authority: 491
  The Cubs are starting to see the fruits of their labor to improve their farm system, as a handful of top flight prospects are nearly ready to play at the major league level. SS Starlin Castro is probably the closest position player to the big leagues, with 3B Josh Vitters not far behind, especially offensively. So ...

  First impression of the Ricketts kids, Take 2: Almost perfect.

  Hire Jim Essian — Authority: 458
  Happy Halloween, guys and ghouls. Ha ha ha! Seriously though, ghouls, do us all a favor and dress like sluts tomorrow. There’s nothing scarier than Mark McGwire’s pockmarks, so I assume you’ve had your fill of terror for this week. But I hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween. Thanks, as always, for ...

• Payroll May Increase Slightly, But Might Not Include Any New Big Names

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 504
  The Chicago Cubs sported a very healthy $140 million(ish) payroll in 2009 - good enough to top the Senior Circuit (with the New York Mets having about the same payroll). And it was worth every penny, right? Fans no doubt expect that payroll will increase next year, and it is expected to do so, incrementally at least. ...

• Chicago Sports Needs Some Personalities

  
  Kap's Corner — Authority: 491
  While I consider Rick Morrissey a colleague and a friend, we usually disagree on most of the topics we discuss in the sports world. However, his column this morning in the Chicago Tribune was outstanding. For a world class city with the best sports fans in the world, we sure dont have much in the way of colorful ...

• Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “World Series That You Won’t Watch” Edition

  
  Hire Jim Essian — Authority: 458
  It’s looking pretty inevitable that the Yankees are going to be the American League representative in this year’s World Series. That means it would be a Phillies-Yankees matchup. Could it be any more boring than that? We just saw Philly win the World Series, and I’m sick of Derek Jeter’s face. An ...

  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 504
  Some folks believe Rudy Jaramillo is the best hitting coach in baseball, and he’s now a member of the Chicago Cubs’ coaching staff. Should they now go after the best pitching coach in baseball?

• Rudy Jamarillo may be an answer for Lou Piniellas eternal question.

  
  Cubby-Blue — Authority: 119
  How many times did we hear Lou Piniella use this question as an answer last season? If I recall, it was about 5 times a day. "Lou, why cant Soriano lay off that outside pitch?" "Lou, is Kosuke ever gonna stop that corkscrew swing?" "Lou, how long will Aramis be out?" "Lou, didnt Milton Bradley hit like a monster ...

• First Signing for 2010 Cubs Must Be Owner

  
  Clark-Addison Cubs Fan Blog — Authority: 103
  The 2009 Cubs were a major disappointment by nearly any measure. They didn’t hit, they didn’t field, even the Cubs vaunted pitching staff faltered. The team sustained major injuries, fought on and off the field, and was generally unlikeable . One of the main causes of this (that is controllable) is the lack of ...

• The Cubs Are Closing in on Rudy Jaramillo

  
  Kap's Corner — Authority: 491
  Ask most major league baseball executives who the best hitting coach in the game is and most will tell you the name of Rudy Jaramillo [ha-dah-MEE-yoh], who for the last 15 years has been the hitting coach for the Texas Rangers. Jaramillo turned down a one year contract from the Rangers last week, and hes in hot demand ...

  Chicago Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly recently revealed that he still has a desire to manage in MLB, and that he listens when teams call. He would even be happy to take in some interviews.

• Did I Just Hear the Cubs Window Shut?

  
  Zoner Sports — Authority: 529
  I’m hearing all kinds of sounds lately. Windows slamming shut. Trucks backing up. People saying goodbye, some perhaps laced with invective. They are all emanating from the Cubs. Is there anything to feel good about for next year? I’m finding little. And I’m thinking that it might just be better to blow it up ...
