Pitchers Rich Harden and Kevin Gregg have both filed for free agency along with outfielder Reed Johnson. This is the beginning of the off season where Jim Hendry needs to make some good moves and stop being dumb!

The Chicago Cubs look to close out the 2009 season on a high note as they have six remaining games on the schedule. I would expect to see a lot of young players playing the final six games while Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez shut it down for the season due to nagging injuries.

Carlos Zambrano pitched six innings of two run ball and the Cubs beat the Pirates 8-5 on Wednesday to finish off the three game sweep in Pittsburgh. Big Z didn’t want to come out of the game when Piniella came out to get him in the seventh but it was the right move as the Cubs went onto win the game. Is it a little too late however?

Cubs starting pitcher Randy Wells pitched into the seventh inning as the Cubs beat the Astros 4-1 and evened up their series at one game each. Wells became the first Cubs rookie pitcher since Kerry Wood to record double digit wins in their rookie season. Let’s keep on winning and picking up ground in the wild card!
