The Cub Reporter

Welcome to The Cub Reporter!

Welcome to The Cub Reporter! We aim to chronicle the follies of the 2001 Cubs, as long as the season lasts.

Ordinarily, doing a website to chronicle the Cubs is easy, but not much fun. All you need to do is write about the mistakes that the front office, manager, and players are making. Then you can hearken back to the summers of ‘84 and ‘89, mention how we haven’t had a good pitcher since Maddux got away, make some crack about the Mets, and call it a day. This year, however, things are different. The Cubs are in first place, many of the moves that Andy MacPhail has made recently have turned out well, the Cubs have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball, and the Mets suck. So, a bit more critical thinking is in order.

What we aim to do here is write every day about what the Cubs are up to. Should Baylor be bunting so much? Is Patterson ready for the majors? Can Bere and Tavarez keep this up all year? These are questions that we all have. Thanks to Blogger, we’re able to give our answers to those, and many more questions. So watch this space for insight, analysis, whining, opining, and who knows what else as the Cubs continue their 2001 season.
