Bleed Cubbie Blue, a Chicago Cubs community

An article giving the comparative statistical take on Derrek Lee's season versus the DLee of old... This season vs. 2009 (in parentheses) BB%: 11.2% (12.4%) K%: 23.8% (20.5%) GB%: 39.0% (35.1%) FB%: 38.3% (45.7%) IIFB%: 1.7% (4.6%) LD%: 22.7% (19.2%) HR/FB%: 10.0% (17.9%) Interesting that the author suggests that his down year could be due to bad luck, seeing that his BABIP is down almost 40 points from his career average.

I like how this author has the balls to suggest that the Cubs trade Carlos Marmol. It's an awesome idea, only if the Cubs are able to get a huge prospect in return. "Like Carlos Zambrano, I have reached my boiling point with the Cubs organization. There have been worse seasons than this one, but rarely has one seemed this disappointing."

Ryan Dempster and his wife Jenny launched their new foundation Sunday night. It was a great event and TONS of Cubs came out to support him. Check out the link for lots of pics and more info...

The very last sentence really concerns me, and makes me wonder just when MLB is going to do something about it Minor injury: Triple-A Iowa first baseman Jake Fox was injured this weekend when he was hit by the shards of a broken bat. He's expected to miss a couple of days.
