2009 Cubs Preview
Published 4/5/2009 by Andy Dolan at desipio.com
Last summer we watched what we figured was the best Cubs team of our lifetimes. They could pitch, they could hit and they could actually field the baseball (well, not Theriot, but…). They won 97 games. They blew away the NL Central (which, everyone says is a bad division, but of the six NL teams to win 86 games or more, four of them were in the Central). They clinched the division so early that Casey McGehee got plenty of time to prove he’s a terrible baseball player, no matter what Phildo Rogers says. And then, the playoffs started, Ryan Dempster shit the bed with seven walks ...

COI Outing #5 and I Go Off On Mr. Dolan (Sorry Andy)

... . I love Desipio and it's by far the most well written and humorous Cubs blogs out there. But why is it that Andy and his love-mate Bad Kermit over at HJE keep ragging on everything that is traditional and unique about the Cubs and their fans. I get it, you hate 99% of Cub fans. You are smartest person alive and every Cub fan should act EXACTLY how you want them to. I am just peon and because I enjoy an Old Style and like the seventh inning stretch, I am not a "real" Cub fan. ...

The Cublogoverse Chicago Cubs Prospect Poll: March
Published 3/21/2009 by Ace at Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary
Announcing a new feature here at Bleacher Nation: the Cublogoverse Chicago Cubs Prospect Poll. With the help of some of your favorite other Cubs blogs, we’ve put together a poll - not unlike a college football or college basketball poll - ranking the top Chicago Cubs prospects. With twelve blogs in tow for this first poll, it is likely to be a more distilled - and more accurate - ranking of the Cubs prospects than the rankings you see in the various prospect services. And without further back-patting, here is the first installment, and preseason version, of the poll (player, position, final level ...

... Hire Jim Essian is not the first "fire" or "hire" blog out there, but it is perhaps the funniest. Kermit and his colleagues - including retired Goat Rider Mike D. - take sarcasm and funny to a rare level. The blog also has a Shout Box which receives perhaps more attention from the regulars than does the actual content of the writers. ...

... other hand, there are quality blogs that preview and recap each game while giving fans a chance to chat during said games. The Cubs blog world doesn't need any more of those. There are blogs dedicated to individual players. Many of these die a pitiful death as the player craps out or is traded. Some endure, in spite of the aforementioned crapping out or tradedness. That's the sign of a strong blog. There is a blog largely written in the voice of Lou Piniella. Another one of those is not needed, as you won't do it as well. ...

... .” Hire Jim Essian does an excellent job of showing point by point what happens when you let a “real journalist” blog without Trib fact checkers and rewrite editors all over him or at least someone to say “walk it off, then try to write.” If Rosenbloom’s point is that the Cubs are merely the owner of two solid months of baseball, he’s right. That is, if that was his point. While tempering October hype is a good thing, blaming everything from curses to amphetamines for inflating the Cubs’ record is bullshit. ...

TMS Voted 'Best Blog of All-Time'
Published 3/26/2008 by Chaim Witz at Thunder Matt's Saloon
Or something like that. But seriously, we'll take any props we can get, including this mention from Cubs beat writer Paul Sullivan.* Did we mention that Paul is one of the greatest sports writers of our, nay, any generation? (Thinking of something 'esoteric' to say) Tommy Buzanis unironically claims that the movie 'Roadhouse' is his "AFI Top 1 of All-Time". *Chip added the cool logo** on the right hand side of the site. First time I've received an award since I won 8th grade Football MVP in junior high. Even though there were only three other 8th graders on the ...

Rick Sutcliffe is going to throttle this cancer
Published 3/14/2008 at Big League Stew
Didn't want to get too far into the day without wishing a speedy recovery to Rick Sutcliffe, who is fighting a treatable form of colon cancer and will be absent from the ESPN booth for a few months this season. I've always enjoyed listening to him in the booth (some times more than others) and have even toyed with the idea of buying a Red Baron throwback. The well-wishes for Sut are pouring in from across the country, according to the Independence (Mo.) Examiner, Sutcliffe's hometown newspaper: Sutcliffe: "There is going to be a lot of good come from this. ...

A Quarter-Century of Cubs
Published 3/9/2008 by Adam Godson at Bugs & Cranks
I have the arduous task of managing the Quarter Century (QC) Cubs in our WhatIf Baseball Simulation league, attempting to win a virtual championship with a bunch of players who (obviously) did not win a championship. I’m hopeful, however, that the sum of the parts and my sage guidance can lead the QC Cubs to victory. After all, over the past 25 years, the Cubs have been managed by such great Captains of Suckitude as: Lee Elia, Charlie Fox, Jim Frey, John Vukovich, Gene Michael, Frank Lucchesi, Don Zimmer, Joe Altobelli, Jim Essian, Jim Lefebre, Tom Trebelhorn, Jim Riggleman, Don ...

... Joe Lapointe that, "It's not going to take nice. It's going to take money." Wandering footnote on our colleague, Lapointe. Growing up in Detroit, he was a close pal of former Chicago Cubs manager Jim Essian. And that trivia item gives us the opportunity to promote the Hire Jim Essian blog that some say is the best out there on the Cubs. In his playing days, Essian was known for engaging in Zen meditation (seriously predating alleged Zen Master Phil Jackson) while waiting for team flights. Essian, AKA "Escobar," also gets a nod for perhaps being the slowest man in MLB in ...

If ESPN can't seem to get it right, why are they spouting information in the first place. Cubby-blue has enlisted the help of our 16th president to brink Fukudome to Illinois.
