http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/league-of-her-own/ - A long-suffering Cubs fan and her nationwide community rely on their sense of humor to make it though another Cubs season.
Looky here, kiddies :
The Blue Jays want to move Roy Halladay this offseason and have contacted the Cubs about a potential trade, according to MLB.com's Carrie Muskat. However, it's unlcear if the Cubs have room for another $15.75MM in payroll. Plus, they'd have to be ...

Aaron Heilman has been traded to the D'Backs for 2 prospects!!!!!!!!
I'd like to thank everyone who played a role in getting Aaron Heilman traded. The fans, the opposing hitters, and especially everyone in the Academy who voted for me. . . I mean for getting rid of Heilman.

Don't expect to see this anytime soon There probably aren't any of us who thought that Mark DeRosa would actually sign with the Cubs this offseason. But there may have been a few of us (maybe someone with red hair) who held out, hoping against all odds that he would come back to us. It ...

Here's one out of left field. From PhillyBurbs.com comes the headline "Reports: Dodgers, Cubs stalk Martinez". Doesn't that sound a bit severe and quite possibly illegal? Here's the text within the story that prompted the headline: As much as both sides enjoyed their 2 1/2-month joyride ...

Well, kids, I think we've finally done it. And by we, I mean me. Here at LOHO, we don't have a strong history of supporting winners. You may remember: 2007, 2008: Cubs win NL Central but fail to win a playoff game 2009: Cubs don't even whiff playoffs 2009: LOHO rents out its loyalty for ...

Cubs, you only have yourselves to blame for this. If you'd do something already, I could put up a picture of whomever we got in the Milton Bradley trade. Or the Aaron Heilman trade. Instead, you force me to put up a picture of Peyton Manning, the greatest quarterback of all time. I won't go ...

There's so much news today I don't know where to start. I guess we'll go with "Silver Sluggers" for $400, Alex : Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano ,
who has volunteered eagerly for designated-hitter and pinch-hitting
duties in the past despite swinging-related stints on the disabled
list, has ...

GM meetings, look what you did to this poor girl The GM meetings turned out to be a major snoozefest. But Jim Hendry seems to think it was all excitement, all the time: "Last night, in an environment here at the hotel, I
probably talked to seven or eight clubs, just the normal ...

Jim Hendry and Randy Bush burn the midnight oil As the GM meetings proceed, it becomes more and more evident that the Cubs won't get a whole hell of a lot done until Milton Bradley is traded . Meanwhile, questions such as these hung in the air: Will the Cubs'
leadoff man in 2010 look ...

Now you've done it, Billy.
Cubs great Billy Williams has angered the mouth-breathing masses by having the nerve, nay, the unmitigated GALL, to suggest that jettisoning a player in a bad trade just to please the offended portion of the fan base might not be the best idea:

I know, I know. It's hot enough in here already. This is because there are too many boys in here. You guys act as walking heating units even on the coldest of days. However, it IS hot stove time, and so we are obligated to have a hot stove.

Don't you wish Dennis Green was still the coach of the Cardinals? Because that was fun. Other things I routinely wish for include Brian Urlacher playing, an Offensive Line, and for Ron Turner to steal the Colts' offensive playbook.

Welcome to LOHO's 2010 Chicago Cubs Motto Contest!
The rules here are simple: whoever comes up with the best motto for this team wins. In order to keep this from devolving into an "Aaron Miles Sucks" contest (which we'll be having later in the month), let's keep the mottos to ...
