No one could argue with the Indians' decision to trade Chris Archer as part of the deal sending Mark DeRosa to the Indians prior to the 2009 season. Look at the ERAs he has posted through his first three years: 2006 - 7.71 ERA over 21.0 innings 2007 - 5.88 ERA over 56.2 innings 2008 - 4.29 ERA over 115.1 innings Since the trade, however, Archer has put things together. In 2009 he posted a 2.81 ERA in 109.0 innings at Single-A, but that was just a prelude of things to come. In 2010, splitting time between High Single-A and ...
Mark Reynolds and the Arizona Diamondbacks looked like the perfect match last season, when Reynolds finished fourth in the National League with 44 home runs. He also led the league in strikeouts for a second consecutive season, but the Diamondbacks seemed unfazed by that: Reynolds seemed to do everything else well at the plate, getting on base with lots of walks and stealing enough bases (24) to lead the league in power-speed number for the season. Arizona eagerly signed Reynolds to a three-year extension worth $13.5 million with a fourth-year club option. The deal bought out Reynolds' final pre-arbitration season ...
With another season ending in disappointment for Chicago Cub fans, is it too early to shout out the refrain, "Wait Until Next Year?"
That's the slogan of the Chicago Cubs, whether they realize it or not. No other team in the history of sports has been mouthing those words for a longer period of time; 102 years to be exact.
The slogan actually culled by the new ownership group, Tom Ricketts and family for 2010 was "Year One." I guess that was because it was their first year running the team, and it sounds a helluva lot better than "Year 102," and "We Still Can't ...
The Chicago Cubs are having fun on the road. They scored a total of eight runs in the first four innings on Saturday night as they beat the Houston Astros 8-3 in the second game of the final series of the 2010 season. They improve the record of their current season-ending road trip to 5-1 and they will get a chance to sweep their division arch-rivals Sunday afternoon. Aramis Ramirez produced four runs with a grand slam in the fourth inning. Marlon Byrd also had a three-RBI night. The Cubs offense gave their starter Carlos Zambrano a two-run cushion in the ...
Since the September call-up, the Cubs rookie outfielder Brad Snyder has had the privilege of enjoying two double-RBI games in his first eight major league games. On Thursday afternoon, he reached another level of enjoyment by hitting out first game-winning RBI. His single in the ninth inning generated the winning run for the Chicago Cubs who took the four-game series finale with a 1-0 victory over the San Diego Padres in PETCO Park. With the win, the visitors snapped their two-series losing streak and dimmed the Padres’ chance to make the playoffs. Both teams’ pitching staffs performed creditably, especially for ...
