Cubs Spring Training Report
 Here is a first-hand report from CubHub.net Special Correspondent, Karen G…Â
This past weekend was the second of what I hope will be annual trips to Cubs Spring Training Camp in Mesa, AZ. I had such a good time last year when I stopped for a day on the way back from the west coast that [...]

Kevin Gregg versus Kerry Wood

Lou taps Gregg for closer
I am surprised. I thought for sure Carlos Marmol the heir apparent, and newly acquired Kevin Gregg the insurance policy. Wrong. Some of the arguments pro and con that I am hearing today make sense to me, but I’m not so sure about Gregg. I have never seen him pitch – I only know him by [...]

Cubs Fantasy Baseball Preview
I’ve been a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball player for several years. Too often I draft with my heart instead of my head and collect too many Cubs. Sticking too long with Mark Prior and Derrek Lee has done me more harm than good. My Yahoo trophy case is actually pretty full (13) in spite of this [...]
