Damn, I don't know who Blevins is, but 32 K's in 23.2 IP and a 0.38 ERA isn't too shabby.

Giovanni Soto is going back down to AAA.

I just noticed this post.

Recent Former Cubs

Rafael Palmeiro


Luis Gonzalez


Future Cy Young Sergio Mitre, Renyel Pinto, and Ricky Nolasco for suckass Juan Pierre.


Great prospect Andrew Sisco



Feel free to add more. There are TONS that I can't think of right now that are way better than these guys I just mentioned.

"Future Cy Young Sergio Mitre, Renyel Pinto, and Ricky Nolasco for suckass Juan Pierre."

A year rental of Pierre at that.. Beautifully done Jimbo.

Sisco was the most hilarious one. He was taken in the Rule V draft after Hendry left him unprotected. He couldn't find room on the 40-man for him, but the roster had like 4 backup catchers and Neifi Perez.

Here is another Ex-Cub gem:

How the hell do you promote Samardzija?!? He has flat out sucked. The Cubs farm system has something seriously wrong with them.

Geovany Soto extended his hitting streak to 11 straight games, and is hitting .352 with 19 homers.

Jake Fox hit 3 home runs last night.

The Peoria Cheifs beat the Cougars today (Class A ball), and it looks like Ryno has done a great job as manager. The team is 29-20. Pitching was pretty much dominated by the Cheifs arms of Hernandez and the bullpen.

I wish the Iowa Cubs were closer, that would be very fun to go to because I would know everyone on the roster unlike today.

And I tried to get Sandberg's autograph, but the game was about to start and they told us to go back when I was 5 people behind in line.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Pacific Coast League Office announced today that Matt Craig of the Iowa Cubs and Seth McClung of the Nashville Sounds have been named the PCL's Batter and Pitcher of the Week respectively, for games played between August 6th and 12th. Craig posted an impressive .522 batting average while McClung threw ten scoreless-innings in two appearances during the same span to claim the awards.

Craig also tallied nine RBIs, two home runs, and a .957 slugging-percentage during his award-winning stretch and was just a single short of hitting for the cycle in an August 10th contest against the Oklahoma RedHawks. The Iowa third-baseman is now hitting .417 in ten games in the PCL with ten RBI. A native of Dallas, Texas, Craig is in his sixth season with the Chicago Cubs organization and was a their third-round selection in the 2002 Amateur Draft.

Damn...Craig's putting up great numbers. He's a little old, but still.

That's what I was thinking. We may see him a little next year if anything.
