Throwing the book at Ricketts
Wait, Tom Ricketts is handing out books to the new Cubs on the pride of the most futile team in sports.
Seriously?
Wasn’t “Year One’’ all about denying the stench of the past?
But if the book includes the pride in being ready...Tags: Culture, Arts and Culture, Chicago Cubs, Thomas Ricketts, Starlin Castro

Ricketts found a new way to mess up Cubs GM search
Hello, and sorry to bother you on this holiday weekend. I don’t usually show up here today, and certainly not during a long weekend, but Cubs Fanboy Owner Tom Ricketts just did something so dumb that I couldn’t control myself.
Here’s...Tags: Thomas Ricketts

Theo is perfect -- for a lot of the wrong reasons
This seems like the perfect hire. The best thing ever. The smartest move you could dream of. But it’s the Cubs. So, it will turn into a disaster. That’s what the Cubs do. Somehow, some way at some time, the hiring of Boston general manager...Tags: Boston Red Sox, Employers, World Series, John Lackey, Carl Crawford

The truth about Sox honesty and Cub delusions
The White Sox are five games out of first place in the AL Central and just lost five of seven at home against divisional opponents. Paul Konerko says his Sox don’t look like a division-winning team right now. Rank honesty about a team playing pretty...Tags: Multi-Sport Events, Baseball Injuries, Miguel Cabrera, Carlos Quentin, Adam Dunn

Wait, Zambrano's the poised one?
Before the first game of this year’s White Sox-Cubs series, I asked a question that I’d like to revisit now that we have a result.
Who would go crazier: Cubs runners on Gavin Floyd or the flash mob in Carlos Zambrano’s head?
Answer:...Tags: Adam Dunn, Carlos Pena, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Dayan Viciedo

How many GMs does it take for the Cubs to replace Hendry?
Maybe it’s me, but it seems silly to hire an interim general manager to replace your interim general manager to hold the spot for your desired and reportedly signed general manager who can’t be your general manager officially because you can&...Tags: Boston Red Sox, Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer , Public Employees, Environmental Issues

Here's some of the culture Theo can change
Tip to Theo Epstein: Don’t call your new team the “Cubbies.’’ Ever. It’s lame and reeks of carpet-bagging. It sounds as if you’re here for some easy cash and looking to cross another item off your bucket list....Tags: Culture, Boston Red Sox, Arts and Culture, Daniel Bard, Theo Epstein

Quade's done, right? Uh, not so fast
There are times when you can out-think yourself. There are episodes where you try to divine a situation and what you are being told begins to sound crazy and idiotic while also believable.
But enough about Tony La Russa. In this case, I mean Mike Quade...Tags: Joe Maddon, John Lackey, Public Employees, Tyler Colvin, Alfonso Soriano

Fielder of dreams for the Cubs?
Bodog lists the Cubs at 7-4 to sign free agent Albert Pujols, a bigger favorite than the Cardinals.
Excuse me, but does Bodog know the Cubs are being run by Theo Epstein and not Jim Hendry?
There seems to be a tendency to look at the stars of this free-...Tags: Entertainment, Theo Epstein, Music, Jed Hoyer , Prince Fielder

Quade wakes up, now who's next? Hello, Tom Ricketts
Mike Quade came to the conclusion that the Cubs are no longer contending. Quite the epiphany when you’ve hovering around 20 games under .500 for months, huh? Quade claimed the Cubs were in position to get back in the race if they had a good run...Tags: Culture, Arts and Culture, Diseases and Illnesses, Mike Quade, Tampa Bay Rays

Is there any truth in what Ricketts has to say?
It has gotten to the point where you hope that Tom Ricketts is just getting some bad advice in delivering his message.
Because after Ricketts’ comments Wednesday evening about his team that is competing to own the worst record in baseball and about...Tags: Michael McCaskey, Health, Thomas Ricketts, Injuries and Wounds

Baseball can't fix divisions until it fixes the DH
I don’t know why it came up now, maybe because we’re less than a week away from interleague play, but there talk of baseball realignment. Trib baseball colleague Phil Rogers details a lot of it here, but the general idea is to create two 15-...Tags: Nature, Steroids, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Alfonso Soriano
