Let’s take a look at an alternate universe, one where nobody ever has to take accountability, then gets to do an interview on a major network without being asked about your play.

It’s a world where, if you screw up, the world is just against you. It’s not your fault. Why should you take the blame when people are trying to hold you down?

This is the world that former-Cub Milton Bradley lives in, and he has been showing it to the world the past week, with an interview with ESPN’s Colleen Dominguez.

Let’s take a look at this interview comment by comment from Milton Bradley. Read the rest of this entry »

Hello all, sorry for flaking out at the end of last season, I got caught up getting set up at college, then pledged a fraternity (Delta Sigma Phi all the way) but now that Spring Training is up and going (and I am deadly poor), I am back to give you the best Chicago Cubs content available.

The goal will be to give a lot of preview articles now, and once the season gets into full swing, give you guys an article a day.

Why am I being so nice?

Because you the reader deserve it.

It will take me a bit to get back into the swing of things, so postings for now will be somewhat sparce, but once I get going, we will be posting quality Cubs content (hopefully) daily. After all, shouldn’t I live up to the name, The DAILY Cub.

The Cubs are now 1-0 in Spring Training (although that matters just about as much as what I ate for dinner) so hopefully we will get things back in a positive direction this season.

For now, I’m Joe W.

A new year, a new scapegoat. Last year’s playoff failure was blamed on the Cubs being too right-handed. Now, at least based on what Cubs manager Lou Piniella recently had to say, the thinking is that the Cubs are too slow.

Lou’s need for speed aside, it is true that the Cubs are a slow, plodding bunch. They rank last in the NL in stolen bases. And while the stolen base has not been as popular since ‘roided up players starting popping muscles out of their shirt sleeves, it seems to be on a bit of a comeback. Read the rest of this entry »

One of the many differences between White Sox General Manager Kenny Williams and Cubs GM Jim Hendry is that Kenny harbors no illusions of the playoffs this season. Could it still happen? Sure, mathematically at least. But is it likely? Hell no.

And it’s even less likely for the Cubs, of course. The division is out of reach and the wild card requires climbing over too many teams. Plus, the Cubs aren’t playing like they want it anyway.

So the White Sox supposedly send a memo to the other clubs that Jermaine Dye, Jim Thome and Scott Linebrink are available. Read the rest of this entry »

Again, I am extremely sorry for the lack of posting these past few weeks. I have had a lot of problems with my internet in my dorm room but those are starting to be fixed now.

However, I will be going through my first full week of school before I start posting regularly again. I am very sorry but I need to make sure that I do everything I can to get the most out of my college experience.

I apologize for the lack of posts, it has been three days and I try not to let more than two go by before getting something up on the site, however, the last few days have been very hectic for me.

I would like to say that the slow down will stop soon and there will be plenty of Cubs updates coming your way soon, but the truth is that I don’t know when I will be able to get back to my usual amount of posts.

The reason, Wednesday is my move-in day for college, and I have been very busy seeing people for possibly the last time and getting all of my stuff ready to move.

It may take a few days to get used to living at Illinois State University, where I will be living for the next four years, but once I get acclimated to the area and get my schedule down, I will be able to get right back to posting.

Luckily for all of you, this will likely mean an increase in quality work from me, as I will be studying journalism at ISU. So be ready for a short hiatus, followed by a return to your Cubs coverage.

While the St. Louis Cardinals have been making moves of late, and the Milwaukee Brewers continue to look for another starter, don’t expect the Cubs to make a big splash at the trade deadline on Friday, July 31.

But don’t fret, Cubs fans. We don’t really need a whole lot of help. In fact, our most pressing needs are to get healthy and to continue to get improved play from the big guns. Read the rest of this entry »

I’d like to introduce you to someone. His name is Ryne Sandberg. Yes, that Ryne Sandberg. Yet, no, not that Ryne Sandberg.

For you don’t know this Ryne Sandberg. This Ryno is charging, my friends.

Ryne Sandberg, who seldom, if ever, had a thought as a Cubs player, seems to really have found his personality since ending his playing days. Read the rest of this entry »

Cubs and White Sox fans have a unique love-hate relationship. Basically, we love to hate each other.

Oh sure, I know there are the so-called “Chicago fans”, and while I’ve never really understood not having an allegiance to one team or the other, I do know a good baseball manager when I see one.

That manager would be one Oswaldo José Guillén Barrios.

I have tried awfully hard to never let the die-hard Cubs fan in me cloud my ability to be objective.

Sox fans who have been spoiled by the success of the 2005 team may ask, “what has Ozzie done for me lately?”

In the spirit of David Letterman, I present to you the Top 10 signs that your favorite baseball team might not be winning the World Series any time soon. As a Cubs fan, I am all too familiar with the warning signs, unfortunately, so I know what I’m talking about.

WARNING: This list is NOT politically correct, so if you can’t take a joke, then do yourself a favor and don’t read this. But if you can laugh at life, then please enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »
