CHICAGO – Tom Ricketts and his family took ownership of the Chicago Cubs and wasted no time making a promise to the team's long-suffering fans: They will bring a World Series title to a team that has gone 101 years without one. "I'll be honest. I think we have a team that can do it next year," Tom Ricketts said without hesitation Friday at a Wrigley Field news conference. "The
The first two days of the off-season have seen quite a bit of movement across the league ... except for on the North Side of Chicago. The Cubs completed their organizational meetings on Friday in Arizona and other than Reed Johnson and Rich Harden declaring free agency, not much out of the Cubs' camp. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Jim Hendry has little payroll flexibility and will likely rely...
It's been a while since we've heard from Sammy Sosa. Once viewed as baseball's saving grace from the horrors of the Steroid Era, Sosa's career hit rock bottom after a fallout with his longtime employer, the Chicago Cubs, and ending his career in disgrace with the Rangers. But Slammin' Sammy has resurfaced again. Over the weekend, he and his lovely wife Sonia attended the Latin Grammy's in Vegas. But...
My first job was in the fourth grade, as a newsboy with The Cincinnati Enquirer . For getting five new customers in early 1965, I got two tickets to see the Reds play the Chicago Cubs (I think) for the Opening Day game. Now, a lot of baseball towns have opening day games. But everyone knows that the REAL one can only take place in the city that gave the world professional baseball. Not only that, but...
This is a really good book. Notwithstanding the obvious name similarity to that of THIS website (the book is titled “A Day in the Bleachers”), I recommend it most highly to fans of baseball as it once was. “A Day in the Bleachers” was written by Arnold Hano in 1954, although I read [...] To read the rest of the post, be sure to visit us at www.viewfromthebleachers.com
The sports blogosphere is abuzz over some new photographs of Sammy Sosa in which the former performance-enhanced Chicago Cubs star looks much, much lighter-skinned than we’re used to. Seems nobody’s been able to reach Sosa yet, and nothing in the captions of photos from Tuesday’s event in Las Vegas yields...
Typically I’m not one to toot my own horn, but might I direct your attention to this comment, posted when Joe asked us to step up to the mic about the World Series: So there you go. Yankees in 6. For all the right reasons. Who said that? Hmmmm … think about it ….. got a guess'... To read the rest of the post, be sure to visit us at www.viewfromthebleachers.com
Episode: 568 - Type A Free Agents on the Cubs and what that Means, Joe Girardi v. Lou Piniella, and the Chances of Ronnie Woo Woo Getting a Sit-Down with the Cubs New Owners (November 6) - Cubscast 2009 Season Podcasts - Cubscast.com - Hosted By: Lou, Sheps & Sneetch
Derrick Goold expects the Cubs will offer Mark DeRosa a free agent contract. DeRosa, coming off wrist surgery, figures to field an offer from the Chicago Cubs, at the least. He and Chone Figgins are two of the best utility players in the game, and both are free agents. This isn’t exactly predicting something wild. After all, it would be the single most shocking event in Cubs history if they...
As Harry used to say, hello again everybody. For a multitude of reasons, I have been away from the CCO for almost three months. I apologize for missing the last few CCO Radio installments of the season and for not being around to share my witty, intelligent and groundbreaking thoughts with you. Some of you might use other adjectives to describe me, but for the sake of avoiding an argument, lets just...
Happy Friday morning to you. Lizzie will be along with the annual Lizzie awards later this afternoon. Until then, let’s talk about some things I’ve read over the last few days. Before we do, though, I wanted to take a minute to remind you of a few things you might have otherwise not... To read the rest of the post, be sure to visit us at www.viewfromthebleachers.com
Last night, the New York Yankees ended this decade of baseball the way they began it -- by winning the World Series. In between these triumphs, things didn't go quite as planned. However, when you sort it all out, the Yankees are the team of the decade, having appeared in four World Series, winning two. Their arch-rivals, the Red Sox, are runners-up. They won two titles, but played in only those two...
