Ryan Theriot—a Modern-Day Max Flack?
On Memorial Day, 1922, the Cubs and Cardinals completed a trade between games of a split doubleheader. After playing for their respective teams in the morning game, Cubs outfielder Max Flack and Cards OF Cliff Heathcote were traded for one another. Each man played for his new team in the afternoon.
The Cubs and Rockies have no doubleheaders scheduled this weekend, but in line with rumors that have been coming ...
Should Cubs Resign Derrek Lee?
You can’t be upset with D-Lee’s decision to revoke a trade to Anaheim. As a 10-5 player, he’s earned the right to do so. I am surprised, however, Lee’s decided to go down with the sinking ship on the North Side vs. playing for a contender. Of course, it would’ve been nice to get a [...]
Cubs Down on the Farm Report - 07/29/10
The Cubs squads in Iowa, Tennessee, and Daytona are all playing well. Third overall pick in the 2007 MLB Draft Josh Vitters is out with a broken hand. The injury to Vitters led to a number of roster moves throughout the organization. One Cubs minor league manager will be at the helm in the Arizona Fall League. One Smokies hurler earned a Pitcher of the Week award. Jeff Samardzija goes deep, Z gets roughed up, and the Daytona Cubs have won ...
Re-Visiting the Derrek Lee Contract
The Derrek Lee contract looked like a bargain at the time, but as time has passed the Cubs haven't gotten as much value out of him as anticipated.
The latest Cubs rumors
Catching you up with the latest rumors as time is running out…
Jayson Stark is reporting that there are 4 teams interested in Ted Lilly, the Phillies, Dodgers, Twins and Tigers. Stark also reports that the Phillies appear to be making a push for Roy Oswalt, but the Dodgers are more focused on Lilly and the [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 1, Astros 8 – July 28, 2010
I’d seen enough of Bob Howry the day he slipped back on a Cubs jersey, and I’d hazard a guess that, to the extent anyone else disagreed in the past, they’re on board now. Also, Carlos Lee has stunk all year – but he crushes the Cubs. Speaking of dude’s who suck but crush on [...]

WP - Bud Norris (3-7) LP - Randy Wells (5-8) Save - None
For the second game in a row the Cubs pathetic offense managed only one run. One bleepin' run against Bud Norris and company. The Cubs have scored only two runs in the last nine innings and lost for the eighth time to the Houston Astros this season (4-8).
Randy Wells clearly did not have it early on. While Wells did not allow a run and sur...
Obsessive Ted Lilly Trade Watch: Bundle of Rumors

The Tigers are involved, and so are the Dodgers, Twins and Phillies. The Phillies have inquired on Lilly, according to Rosenthal. Ed Price of AOL FanHouse hears rumblings [...]

What does this say about Derrek Lee?
Reports are that Lee is exercising all of his no-trade rights, and refuses to be traded to a contender. Texas is one specific place that wants him, that will not get him.

Play of the Day: Carlos Lee Remembers He's Facing the Cubs
It just wouldn't be a series against the Astros without Carlos Lee junk-punching the Cubs at least once. In today's game, he did twice, but its the first one that is the Play of the Day.
The sixth inning started ominously enough when Randy Wells walked Fat Elvis to start the inning and gave up an RBI double to the ever-annoying Hunter Pence. Any thought of the Cubs getting it together and still winning a game that stood at 1-1 ended on the second pitch of the next at-...
Derrek Lee Just Says No To Cubs Trades
Derrek Lee is single-handedly thwarting the Chicago Cubs’ chances of hosting a firesale. According to a Bruce Levine post, the veteran first baseman who is entering the final months of his contract will not waive his no-trade clause. Lee, who traditionally has warmed up with the weather, is mired in a season-long funk. It’s almost [...]
