A Chicago Cubs Community
Theo Epstein said it explicitly. The Cubs are going to seek to add to their starting rotation. And that makes sense for a lot of reasons. The biggest reason is that there is no way in the world that they can go into the 2016 season and have the possibility Continue reading Amidst Uncertainty, Cubs Not Without Starting Options
With the 2015 season coming to an abrupt end at the hands of the New York Mets, now is as good a time as any to look ahead to the off-season. After all, it’s getting close to the end of October and there are a lot of key decisions to Continue reading With Season Over, Off-Season Moves Coming Fast
Year after year, the hall of fame election draws all sorts of debate and discussion. The rules are terrible. Someone sells their ballot to Deadspin. Players who everyone thinks should be in are left out. PEDs are discussed again. It’s really a terrible time when it should be a great Continue reading The Struggles of Selecting Hall of Famers

Value was slightly more than $85 Continue reading Jeff Samardzija’s days in pinstripes are numbered

With so few teams being “out of it” with the addition of the second wild Continue reading The Shark List: Ranking the Potential Landing Spots
This year’s annual opportunity for adult fans to complain ask questions to the team’s leadership and for children to get autographs, pictures, and souvenirs from their favorite Cubs players (past, present and future), was held in Chicago at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers this weekend.

Today, Roobs told me that the Toronto Blue Jays’ next starting pitchers were going to be Josh Johnson, R.A. Dickey and Chien-Ming Wang. You don’t have to have that much of a sense of humor to realize the trend. Naturally, I decided to look it up for myself because this Continue reading All Canada is good for is some random dick jokes
There have been a few trades lately that have shaken the baseball world to the core.
