Youthful mistakes contributing to mounting losses

Dear Cubs fans, don't be suckers
The Cubs have won 12 of their last 16 games. Their starters have an ERA of 1.13 in their last five. The staff itself averaged an earned run a game in the weekend sweep of Arizona. They are playing the kind of baseball we haven’t seen all season...

Cubs don't play like superheroes, but dress the part

Trade rumors don't interest Sveum

Cubs now worse; but organization better, at least in theory
The Cubs are not a better team today without Ryan Dempster, Paul Maholm, Reed Johnson and Geovany Soto. They would be even worse without Matt Garza, and that still might happen by the Aug. 30 waiver deadline. Either way, though, the Cubs organization is...

If you're going to showcase Zambrano, then really make it a show

Castro's embarrassing walkabout helps Cubs regain lead in the Idiot League
I suppose the Cubs should be thankful that Starlin Castro didn’t just drop down and start doing dirt angels on the Wrigley infield while actual baseball was about to commence, but there are plenty of embarrassing aspects of Starlin Castro’s...Tags: Chicago Cubs, Thomas Ricketts, Aramis Ramirez, Baseball, Reed Johnson

Is it time for a new Ricketts to run the Cubs?
Tom Ricketts needs to do something. Even in hiding from everyone except one reporter he believed he could use, Ricketts needs to order something done.
