New Poll, 7 Games Back, Zambrano, and More

  • With the loss last night, the Cubbies fell to 7 games back of St. Louis. Things are not looking good for this year's club right now.
  • The Cubs and Pirates will make up the game that was rained out on Sunday as part of a day-night double header on Wednesday September 30.
  • Randy Wells had some extra time off in between starts, let's hope he's ready to go tonight.
  • Milton Bradley had an exchange with a Padres fan on Wednesday, but he declined to comment. Lou said that he's OK with guys having a little fun once in awhile, but he would rather them stay focused on the game at hand.
  • Carlos Zambrano pitched 5 strong innings with the Peoria Chiefs in his rehab start last night. He will return to the Cubs starting rotation next Tuesday when the Cubs open up a homestand and battle the Nationals.
  • The Cubs are the subject of a death suit. Click for more info.
  • Paul Sullivan has 10 suggestions for the new Cubs owner.

  1. The first thing that needs to be done is trade Zambrano. Dont ask for alot and just take anything for him. Here is my offseason:

    - sign Jason Kendall for backup to soto
    - have fox for a utility (and use him!!)
    - sign Orlando Hudson
    - look at signing CARL CRAWFORD, or trade for him!

    I wish I was a GM!

  2. Yeah, I really like Jim Hendry, but let's face it, his off season was not good at all last winter. He's done mostly good things in his time as GM, so I think he stays and hopefully triese to improve this clubs. I am not happy at all with the way Lou has managed this season, but he might be pressured into playing the guys that the Cubs are paying the big bucks. The only way Lou goes is if he retires in my opinion.
