Carlos Zambrano exploded in the Cubs locker room after he pitched seven innings to set the Cubs up for a win until Carlos Marmol blew the lead in the top of the ninth, and Albert Pujols won it in extras.Zambrano blamed Marmol for not knowing that Ryan Theriot was not a good fastball hitter and threw him a slider instead, which tied the game. He then went on to say that the Cubs play this season is "embarrassing" and that it is like a Triple-A team. Well Carlos, you are right.To be honest, I credit Zambrano for calling his team ...
You know things are going bad for the Chicago Cubs this season when the worse part about being recently swept by the Houston Astros was not the sweep itself. It was the fact that the Cubs called on the powerful and dangerous slugger Koye Hill to be a pinch hitter. How has life in Wrigleyville evolved into such an ugly place so quickly?

The White Sox won a World Series in 2005 and the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2010. Just this past season, the Bears and the Bulls made it to the conference finals. Despite all of this success, the Chicago Cubs haven’t been to the World Series since 1945 and haven’t won it since 1908. The Cubs are one of the most recognizable teams in sports, and ...
The 2011 season has been nothing short of a struggle for the Chicago Cubs. Rookie manager Mike Quade has spent a large portion of this season simply filling gaps created by injury. Already in the young 2011 season, the Cubs have managed to send five position players and three starting pitchers to the disabled list.Among those players have been starting catcher Geovany Soto, starting outfielders Marlon Byrd and Alfonso Soriano and starting pitchers Randy Wells, Andrew Cashner and Matt Garza.Thus far in 2011, the Cubs have needed a veritable shuttle between Des Moines, Iowa and Chicago in order to handle ...
