Chicago Cubs: Sammy Sosa Angry No. 21 Is Not Retired in Chicago

August 24, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

He just won't seem to go away. Sammy Sosa said in an interview with Chicago Magazine his number should be retired in the Chicago Cubs organization. "That number should be untouchable because of the things that I did for that organization," Sosa said. "That right there shows me that they don't care about me and they don't want to have a good relationship with me. "My numbers don't lie," Sosa continued. "Everything that I did was so big — my career was so good — that even if people want to scratch it from the board, it's not going to happen. Those numbers ...

Chicago Cubs Should Just Say ‘No’ To Joe Girardi

July 27, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Joe Girardi has been a name thrown around the Chicago Cubs organization like a visiting team's home run at Wrigley Field.  And with the Cubs always looking for the big name rather than the right choice, it wouldn't surprise anyone if they were to get him as the skipper for 2011. There is just one problem. Girardi is one of the most overrated managers in all of baseball. He will not only cost the Cubs a pretty penny, but wins as well.   But he won manager of the year four years ago He finished fourth in the division with a 78-84 overall record. Not ...

Carlos Zambrano: It’s Too Late To Apologize

July 27, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Carlos Zambrano has grown up and apologized—a month later—and not face-to-face with anyone he wronged, unless he had done something to Pedro Gomez of ESPN. On Monday, Zambrano apologized for his dugout tirade a month ago after the first inning versus the Chicago White Sox in which Zambrano felt runs were given up because of shaky defense. Gold Glover Derrek Lee took some of the heat, even though no one had a chance to catch Carlos Quentin's home run in the left field stands. Zambrano has been on the restricted list following a three-game suspension after the outburst. Zambrano additionally professed his love ...

Suspended: Carlos Zambrano Makes a Fool Out Of Himself Once Again

June 25, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Carlos Zambrano couldn't even make it to the second inning of his start against the crosstown rival White Sox before throwing yet another tantrum, even being sent home by manager Lou Pinella and eventually suspended indefinitely by Jim Hendry.  Zambrano gave up four runs in the first inning, but as usual found someone else to blame. The inning began with a Juan Pierre double just out of reach of Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee. Lee was drawn in by the chance Pierre could lay down a bunt and the bouncer down the line was clearly out of reach for the Gold ...

Wrigley Field Becoming Just Another Stadium

June 17, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

No matter how bad the product was on the field, people flooded to Wrigley Field to see...well...the field. It brought baseball fans to what seemed like a different decade or even a different century to see a day game with an organ playing and no flashy scoreboard or advertisements to divert the eyes of those of whom have no attention span. Granted, the crowd still has cell phones to do that, but the field itself would have no part in helping take away from the experience of the old generation of baseball. Now you have a giant Toyota sign above the left ...

Carlos Zambrano Moves To Bullpen To Make Way for Henry Rowengartner

April 21, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

In a surprise twist in the never-ending saga of Carlos Zambrano, the Cubs management has decided to send the eight-year veteran starter to the bullpen to make way for the 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner, who just came off the disabled list with a broken arm. Rowengartner, or Rosenbagger/Gardenhoser as he likes to be called, played some outfield for the Pirates of the Little League, but has confidence he can make the switch to pitcher as new teammate Randy Wells has. "I recently broke my doctor's nose doing a pitching motion, so I'm thinking I can pitch," Rowengartner said. "I'm hoping, like my testicles, ...

Carlos Zambrano Moves To Bullpen: Chicago Cubs Fans’ Heads Explode

April 21, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

As most of you have read, Carlos Zambrano has reportedly been moved to the bullpen for the Chicago Cubs. How one comes to the conclusion that Zambrano is the weakest link of a starting rotation featuring Carlos Silva and Tom Gorzelanny is a question no baseball follower can answer. Zambrano has made six straight Opening Day starts for the Chicago Cubs and has been the proclaimed ace of this staff for the same amount of years, but the one negative tattooed on his positive stuff is his mental capacity to accept even the tiniest of irritations. What better way to get Zambrano's head ...

Sammy Sosa to Haunt Hall of Fame Until Gaining Entry (Satire)

November 9, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

Sammy Sosa has decided to bleech his skin in honor of the recently deceased, but still talked about over and over again, Michael Jackson. Sosa immediately denounced that this was an odd reaction to any of the "Flinstone vitamins" he took during his home run days.   "I must first and foremost say my skin color is not due to the steroids I took for so many years," Sosa said.  "I was hoping as a white man, I'd have a better shot at the Hall of Fame." After the comment, Sosa consulted his translator only to forget how to speak English all over ...

Randy Wells Is the Reason the Cubs Are Competing

August 3, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

With pain, sometimes comes pleasure; for many Chicago Cub fans, Randy Wells is evidence. With all of the talks circulating around the injury woes that the Cubs have had, no one has brought up the fact that from these injuries, the most consistent Cubs' starter has been created. Out of nowhere, the best rookie pitcher in baseball, next to J.A. Happ, has spawned. In 2008, Wells went 10-4 with a 4.08 ERA and had 102 strikeouts in 118.67 innings pitched at Triple-A Iowa. In 2009, however, before being called up, Wells was 3-0 with a 2.77 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 26 ...
