Cubs Trade for Aaron Heilman

Earlier today, the Cubs traded Ronny Cedeno and Garrett Olson to Seattle for Aaron Heilman. It's not a bad trade for Chicago, as Heilman could bounce back to his 2005-2007 form. This also helps confirm the Cubs won't be getting Jake Peavy (good news for me), as most of the pieces the Cubs were rumored to be giving up are gone (Cedeno, Pie) and the Cubs have one of the worst farm systems in baseball.

Real Knowledge and Credibility has Arrived

Ladies and gentleman, you will not have to read the same lame, biased opinion from all the White Sox fans who started this blog. Luckily for all of you, I am here to counteract all of the vomit that comes out of their mouths.

Despite the fact the Cubs haven't won a world series in 100 years, these people are essentially jealous of Cub-dom. Don't worry folks, you will run into these types of people all the time. I have to admit I love my Cubbies, regardless of the worst century for any professional sports organization ever.

However, I will not allow that to taint my perspective on other major league issues, players, and teams. I plan to contribute news, non-biased opinions, awfully terrible predictions and things that will be hard for the average baseball fan to find while adding my wonderful sense of humor to all of it.

I'm kidding about those awful predictions, without question, I will prove to be the best predictor of the bunch in 2009. Just use my prediction that the Pittsburgh Pirates would win more games than the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008 as an indicator to what I can do.

I hope to see you all around. Enjoy!

Felix Pie Traded

The Cubs just traded another one of their overhyped prospect busts. Chicago sent Felix Pie to Baltimore for pitchers Garrett Olson and Henry Williamson. Pie is the latest in a long line of overyhyped, disappointing Cubs prospects that includes Mark Prior, Hee-Seop Choi, Angel Guzman, and Corey Patterson.
