Cubs now worse; but organization better, at least in theory
The Cubs are not a better team today without Ryan Dempster, Paul Maholm, Reed Johnson and Geovany Soto. They would be even worse without Matt Garza, and that still might happen by the Aug. 30 waiver deadline. Either way, though, the Cubs organization is...

Castro's embarrassing walkabout helps Cubs regain lead in the Idiot League

Is it time for a new Ricketts to run the Cubs?
Tom Ricketts needs to do something. Even in hiding from everyone except one reporter he believed he could use, Ricketts needs to order something done.
