Can we get a countdown clock for the impending Carlos Zambrano/Milton Bradley dugout brawl?

I dig the Miles signing. Peavy trade could still be in the works.

Oh another baseball team with it's own thread that <5 people will post in all year long, neat.

1/8/2009 1:21:35 PM

Only 3 more people to go!

1/8/2009 1:25:33 PM

i'm in.

1/8/2009 1:36:17 PM

GO CUBBIES!

1/8/2009 1:42:14 PM

I'm def in. Living in chicago and hoping to win some single game tickets via the lottery

1/8/2009 4:04:53 PM

Go cubs go
hey chicago what do you say
cubs are going to win today...

Seriously though, sad to see Kerry go, as a human being and leader as much as a player. He has done alot for the cubs and charities around Chicago. Hope he does well with the tribe.

Also has marquis been officially traded yet, I'd rather go a four man rotation than have him in there

was that when the white sox won the world series?

kthxjustcheckin

1/8/2009 7:40:45 PM

it's very common in Venezuela for a father to kiss his children, especially after they win the World Series

This summer, Lou Piniella is teaching WS 101

1/8/2009 7:47:59 PM

Glad somebody brought up this one!

I'm kinda ticked about the DeRosa trade, he was one of those players who would play wherever, and do (at least) a decent job AND he could hit. I don't know much about Miles, though.

1/8/2009 8:44:30 PM

^^ and ^^^

You guy's married yet? Whenever a Cub topic comes you two love birds have to chime in. And, fwiw, no matter how many World Series the Sox win you'll still be irrelevant in your own city.

1/8/2009 9:15:00 PM

i think it's better to be irrelevant but have a WS ring than to be the punchline of every sports joke that refers to futility

1/8/2009 9:50:19 PM

At least you admit to being irrelevant.

1/8/2009 9:55:12 PM

irrelevant? that's a new one

chicago's very own 2008 team that can win a fucking playoff game, your chicago white sox!

1/8/2009 11:05:59 PM

Oh man, haha. You two gals can hang out here for the entire upcoming season if you feel like it. Consider yourself honorary Cub fans.

1/9/2009 9:49:11 AM

My football and basketball season is over.

So GO CUBS GO!

1/11/2009 3:14:46 PM

Sure is a lot of dealing and signing going on it seems with the cubbies. There surely will be a few new faces on the roster that I'm not used to. Not really sure about the Milton Bradley signing being that he only played like 30 games in the outfield all last year while he DHed the rest of the games. I also hate that they traded Derosa....I feel like he was the core of the team and definitely had a lot of heart!

1/12/2009 4:22:11 PM

^But the cubs needed to break up all the right handers.. It was our only weakness (besides choking haha). Derosa was the only one that could go... Lee, Ramirez,Fukudome,Theriot, Soriano, and Soto weren't going anywhere.

It sucks we had to trade him but it was the only option...

1/13/2009 2:25:04 PM

Derosa for Bradley is a horrible substitution.

Bradley is very talented no doubt and can rake. He can't field at all and will play 50 games a year.

Derosa was underrated badly....

1/13/2009 2:28:03 PM

I watched every game Cub last year and disagree with you on Dero vs Bradley.

I will miss Derosa, but he had a career year last season. Miles and Fontenot will be just fine replacing him. Bradley's left handed bat is huge for our lineup. If he were to go down for any significant time, Micah Hoffpauir (who proved he could hit) could step in and replace him.

1/13/2009 2:39:05 PM

Bump for the first spring training game in 3 days!

2/22/2009 11:58:29 AM

Woot!

2/22/2009 12:13:10 PM

I'll go ahead and sum up the cubs season for you guys...

Meh, whats one more year right?

2/22/2009 12:47:43 PM

Go Cubs!!!

2/22/2009 1:58:10 PM

I think that DeRosa had a career year in 08 because he finally started an overwhelming majority of games. I hate losing him. Fontenot has the ability to be the everyday guy at 2nd but DeRosa brought so much more to the team with his consistency and versatility. Remember that homer he hit in Game 1? The rest of the series obviously sucked but that was a great moment. I'm gonna miss his seeming unflappability and his blog.

Jury is still out on Bradley. Probably still out on Soriano too for that matter. I can't make myself like that guy. I am looking forward to seeing more Hoffpauir. DLee has seen better days. Go Cubs Go, let's stop the streak at 101!

3/8/2009 5:05:00 PM

Big Z is second in the lineup

that's awesome

3/8/2009 5:07:17 PM

He wants to bat second, but Lou won't let him.

[Edited on March 8, 2009 at 6:01 PM. Reason : f]

3/8/2009 6:00:56 PM

Big Z is such a weapon. When he starts its like an AL batting lineup.

3/8/2009 10:30:57 PM

he is a damn good hitter for a pitcher

3/9/2009 11:18:11 AM

watching today's game now; glad to see harden on the mound and seemingly healthy

Zambrano agrees with you guys

Quote :

"Carlos Zambrano hit a three-run home run and an RBI double in a 12-3 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday."

he wore a sweet green hat too

3/17/2009 8:58:48 PM

yeah his career .632 OPS and five (5!!!!!!) walks would make me disagree with you on him being a good hitter period

but he is a lot better than probably any other NL pitcher at hitting

3/17/2009 10:05:00 PM

Opening night who is excited?!

4/6/2009 3:50:46 PM

Great way to start the season Soriano

Cubs up 1-0, top of the 1st

4/6/2009 7:13:45 PM

Cardinals blow 2run lead in the ninth to Pirates.

4/6/2009 7:22:52 PM

Cubs win, Cards lose, Z looks good, Fukudome still sucks, Hoffpauir should probably start over Lee, Fontenot looked great, Bradley is good but clearly a dumbass, Gregg apparently has herpes on his lip, and I wanna see Reed Johnson in Center.

Go Cubs Go!

4/6/2009 10:14:06 PM

on page 1!

4/7/2009 10:24:29 AM

8-0 after 2

I looked at WGN and there's a minor league game on, wtf?

also, Fukudome's now 3-3 tonight and D Lee has an RBI tonight and had one last night in response to that asshole 2 posts up

4/8/2009 8:59:55 PM

awesome man I just found it

thanks for the info! Go Cubs Go!

4/8/2009 9:02:03 PM

I think Lilly gets paid extra when he gives up solo home runs, because he sure has been doing it forever. I swear he never gives up a run any other way. BUT... GO CUBS GO
