With most all of the Cubs front office personnel, Scouting Department, and Player Development staff watching from the picnic area high above the third-base dugout, Michael Brenly singled twice and scored once, Starlin Castro singled twice (increasing his AFL-leading batting average to .433) and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly, and four Cubs pitchers combined to throw seven innings of one-run ball,...

I would expect the following to happen over the next few weeks: 1. NO LATER THAN THE 4TH BUSINESS DAY FOLLOWING CONCLUSION OF WORLD SERIES : Clubs must decide whether to add any of their Rule 55 minor league free-agents to the 40-man roster. Probably the only Cubs candidate is RF Brad Snyder, who could be another Garrett Jones or Casey McGehee (an apparent "4-A guy" who gets written off but...

Browse more photos » After watching Brad Lidge blow game 4 of the World Series last night, a game where he came in with the score tied, many Phillies fans have to be thinking why GM Ruben Amaro did not trade for another closer back in July and August.

Wait 'til this Year (Free subscription) | 10/14/2009
There are still home runs to be hit, strikes to be thrown, and rings to be won. Just not at Wrigley Field. For the Cubs, the sights are now squarely set on 2010. This season reminded many Cubs fans of the Cubs of old, and in fact many of the Cubs are getting old. But it's in with the new as owner Tom Ricketts takes over the controls, though he and Jim Hendry don't have a great deal of wiggle room given...

Now that the month of October has arrived, I have become lost. Fantasy baseball is over and I don't quite know what to do in the mornings and weekends without it. Sure, I have fantasy football on Sunday, but that's just Sunday. I did well this year. I won championships in 6 out of 16 Yahoo Leagues and I won 1 of the 2 CBS Sportsline leagues I was in. That is the most championships I have won in 4 years....

AP Photos/ Julio Cortez & Jim Prisching Last season, when the regular season ended both our baseball teams got to keep on playing. This time around, both the Cubs and White Sox cleaned out their lockers while other teams continued on to the postseason. This was not unexpected for the Sox, but many truly thought this was going to be the Cubs' year. And yet fans on both sides of town are left to...

This is probably no more than a formality for 2009, but might as well go through the motions.
