Quality: A Great Place to Start
Posted on 22 Mar 2011 by Paul Jackson.
As the Cubs started the Spring slate a little over a month ago one of the questions that needed to be answered was in the pitching rotation. With a little over a week left before Opening Day, Mike Quade has a tough choice to make. I liken this choice to the choices those in Washington D.C. have to make. Most of those choices affect a lot of people, if not all. These choices will make some peopl...

Piniella to retire; looking forward
Posted on 20 Jul 2010 by Eddie Kim.
The Chicago Cubs gave Lou Piniella all of his due respect and then some. In his old age, Piniella has become more senile and less enthusiastic about winning games — a trend that has dramatically grown in the past few years. The Cubs should have cut ties with Piniella halfway through the 2008 season but didn't. That's because the team had the best record in the league, even though that was...

The righty remained unbeaten and improved to 8-0 by holding the Pirates down to just four hits and one run over seven innings of work. The only other pitcher in the ...

Have Cubs found their man?
Posted on 23 May 2010 by Eddie Kim.
Ever since Angel Guzman was lost for the year early in spring training, the eighth inning has been a major question mark for the Chicago Cubs. Breaking camp, the most logical option seemed to be John Grabow but he struggled out of the gate. Then Esmailin Caridad had a chance to step up but a series of injuries put him on the shelf. Desperate for help, the Cubs turned to their ace Carlos Zambran...

Injuries, schedule provide chances
Posted on 23 May 2010 by Eddie Kim.
After Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Texas Rangers, the Chicago Cubs sit in third place in the division, trailing the Cincinnati Reds by 5 1/2 games and the St. Louis Cardinals by 5 games. However, both the Reds and Cardinals suffered injuries that could open the door for the Cubs. Reds' Johnny Cueto, who improved to 4-1 on the season by beating the Cleveland Indians, was removed afte...

Silva, Zambrano, and winning
Posted on 19 May 2010 by Eddie Kim.
It looks like the Carlos Zambrano experiment is over. A day after manager Lou Piniella announced that Zambrano would be stretched out in the bullpen for the purposes of re-entering him into the rotation, Piniella asked Zambrano to close out Colorado by pitching the ninth inning of Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Rockies. But we shouldn't read too much into that: it was a move made out of necessity. ...
