The Rise of Jeremy Lin... can't stop watching this!

4 months ago Tiny cubbieblue 0 comments

Wouldn't mind getting him. Two more years of arbitration eligibility, only 27 years old. Would definitely fit the type of offseason moves we've made thus far.

Interesting read on the newest Cub! I find it amazing that he has a 5.26 ERA since 2007 but is comparable to Joe Saunders in FIP and Randy Wolf in xFIP.

Interesting observations about Theo/Jed's approach in trade and free agent talks. Original source is an ESPN Insider article.

FanShot Request: 2008 WGN Cubs Video

I missed this when it aired, and it appears all the youtube links have been taken down... I remember last year someone uploaded a version we could all download. Does anybody have the capability of doing this again? I'm sure much of BCB would appreciate it!

Hey BCB,

Thanks!

Bleed Cubbie Blue Humor: Minor Leaguer Traded for... BATS?!

I know we at BCB often joke about players being traded for bats, or baseballs, or other inanimate objects.  Who knew it actually happens?!

 

The Calgary Vipers of the Golden Baseball League couldn't get newly signed pitcher John Odom into Canada for immigration reasons. And the Laredo Broncos of the United League were willing to take a cheap gamble on a pitcher.

"They just wanted some bats, good bats — maple bats," Broncos general manager Jose Melendez said Friday.

Camden Chat Camden Yards First Timer!

Hey guys,

I'm visiting from the BleedCubbieBlue blog.  I'm going to Camden Yards tomorrow for the first time and was wondering if anyone had any tips -- where to park?  where can I buy a scorecard?

Those are my main questions, but any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!!

Bleed Cubbie Blue Ronny Headed to AAA

According to this article:
http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-070505cubsbits,1,5330560.story?coll= cs-cubs-headlines

Cedeno is the odd man out as Guzman is recalled.  What does this mean for the outfield logjam?  Stay tuned...

Bleed Cubbie Blue Theriot makes the team

According to the Trib, Ryan Theriot is going to be the Cubs primary extra infielder.  I know many of us expected this, but this is the first time I've seen it offical.

Good decision by Sweet Lou!

Bleed Cubbie Blue Gyroball Mystery Solved

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=jp-mlb_07_gyroball022107&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

Interesting column by a writer I generally dislike -- Jeff Passan.  I don't like how much he hypes up the article throughout, but it's fascinating nonetheless.

Enjoy.

Bleed Cubbie Blue WOOD FILES FOR FREE AGENCY

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2643055

Kerry Wood has filed for free agency.  Maybe this means he won't come back as a reliever?  This kinda pisses me off only because he's been milking the Cubs resources to rehab, and now (knowing the Cubs luck) he's probably gonna go on and be a lights-out closer elsewhere.

Bleed Cubbie Blue Sheffield?

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2639001

The Yanks picked up Shef's one year option, but he doesn't want to play there.  It seems like they wouldn't have signed him to play there if they knew he was going to be angry... maybe they're planning on trading him?

The Cubs are mention in the article as possible suitors.  What do you guys think?  Is he the outfield bat we need?

Bleed Cubbie Blue PINIELLA EXPECTS CUBS TO GO HARD ON AROD

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2628823

According to the article, Lou wants the Cubs to heavily pursue A-Rod.  Even though the Yankees say that A-Rod isn't available, I still believe he is for the right price.

Eitherway I find this article very interesting.

Bleed Cubbie Blue Dusty Withdraws from Quite Frankly after seeing Email!

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/cs-060720teddy,1,2958515.column?coll=cs-cu bs-utility

Interesting... Dusty withdrew from the show after seeing the email that many of us thought was classless.

Steven A. also said that he believes the part about booing was doctored in, which I believe is entirely false.

This is a sad, sad story.  Spy is one of the few good guys left in baseball... i'm really disappointed in him

Bleed Cubbie Blue Where are my Cubs from April?

After watching this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36AI4F6crB4&search=cubs

I just want the cubs from april back... remember how they played with emotion?  Barrett's grand slam, Jacque's first hit as a Cub (the 3-run shot)... where did these Cubs go?

I saw glimpses of it in the reds, cardinals, and even game one of the astros series.  Hopefully they'll show up tonight and from here on out.
