During this off-season, the Cubs have seen a complete overhaul of the team’s starting rotation. Carlos Zambrano’s days in a Cub uniform are over, and it seems as if Matt Garza’s days are waning as well. The new front-office has made several notable, although low-key additions to the rotation.
Rambling from the Bottom of the Barrel

The Cubs won a baseball game Wednesday afternoon. When this happened, I just figured my television was broken, and I wasn’t seeing accurate information. However, after combing the interwebs for information, I finally realized the prior information was true. The Cubs had, indeed, won a baseball game. That paragraph perfectly sums up my view of [...]

Friends, family, faithful … It is once again time for me to unleash my random, ridiculous and wry stream of consciousness on everyone as is it relates to the Chicago Cubs. As we plug along towards 2011, it is time to start dreaming of the small ball once again. Pitchers and catchers report in two [...]
Cubs Off-Season Stirred … But Not Shaken

Cliff Lee’s shocking decision to sign with the Philadelphia Phillies changed the off-season throughout the league. With Lee off the market, the Yankees and Rangers will turn their attention to other players, which in turn will have a direct impact on the Chicago Cubs. The Lee signing affects not only the teams trying to acquire [...]

It has been quite some time since the CCO Faithful were forced to read and digest my random stream of consciousness. And let’s be honest … that is not really fair to any of you. You deserve so much more of me … just like most women. The winter is drawing near and in a [...]

Ladies, gentlemen, children and those who act like children it has been awhile since I have unleashed my almost unedited stream of consciousness on the CCO Faithful. It has been a long season and there are just over three weeks left until this misery can finally be put to bed. With that being the case, [...]
Another Week … Cubs Still a Joke
July 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I am rambling today. That’s right. This has become such a joke, I don’t think I can concentrate on the Cubs long enough to come up with more than one complete sentence or half of a complete thought. I know this is very pathetic, but it is because the Cubs are rubbing off on me, [...]
The Cubs Walk … A Staggering Swagger or a Swaggering Stagger?

Trust me, the headline confused me as well. It took awhile before I realized it was exactly what I meant to say. It’s Tuesday and that means I am going to ramble, but I am having a hard time figuring out the baseball team that resides on the North Side of Chicago. Are they bad? [...]
