• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1960Richie Ashburn bats for the Cubs in 1960 | Photo by Hy Peskin/Getty Images This was not a good year for Cubs deals.

The first thing the Cubs did in the offseason was fire manager Bob Scheffing. The edict...2024Check it out Richie Ashburn -

• Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: 1970s Jack Brickhouse editionHere’s one from near the end of Brickhouse’s Cubs broadcasting tenure.

• The story of baseball can’t be told without Willie MaysSet Number: X14380 Very few ballplayers loved the game like Willie Mays did and the game reciprocated that love even before his passing.

• A few more thoughts about Marquee Sports Network’s Cubs game broadcasts
Marquee Sports Network The channel’s live game presentation still leaves much to be desired. Back in June, I wrote this article with some thoughts I had about Marquee Sports Network’s Cubs game broadcasts. It wasn’t pretty. I had hoped things might change, but little did. The game broadcasts are still borderline unwatchable. Before I continue, I want to tell you that in the 17 years Bleed ...2022Read about Marquee Sports

• Marquee Sports Network’s ratings are down... but it’s not just because the Cubs have been bad
There are other factors causing the Cubs channel’s numbers to not be good. On Friday, the Tribune published this article by Robert Channick on the fortunes of the Cubs’ TV channel, Marquee Sports Network.
