The conditions for baseball were not ideal at Wrigley Field last night.

Matt Garza is still looking for his first win of the season and committed the throwing error that broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth inning. The Cubs lineup didn't give Garza much support, hitting 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position. Kosuke Fukudome rapped out five hits on the night and Darwin Barney hit his first home run of the season. more ›

The Cubs replaced DeRosa with another utility infielder by signing free agent Aaron Miles to a two-year deal. Also in the works is a possible trade of Jason Marquis to the Rockies in exchange for Luis Vizcaino; rumors claim the Cubs are also interested in signing free agent Milton Bradley. Yes, because what this team needs is the stability of Milton Bradley. more ›
