Jeff Samardzija is Just Getting Started
After an inconsistent career in the bullpen, Jeff Samardzija has put his career on track as the front man of the Cubs rotation and it does not appear that he is going anywhere. In fact, it looks like we are only beginning to see the abilities that Samardzija has and we are just seeing how good he can eventually be.

Cubs’ Camp on DL with Toe Bust
Chicago Cubs reliever, Shawn Camp, has been retrospectively punished by the baseball gods for not admitting to an injury, after further damaging a toe sprain on Tuesday night against the Pirates.
Camp was checked out on Sunday and given the all clear to pitch two days later, but in hindsight should have gone straight on the 15-day DL.
He came in to replace James Russell in the sixth...
Cubs place Shawn Camp on DL
The Chicago Cubs have placed right-handed reliever Shawn Camp on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right big toe, according to Paul Sullivan of The Chicago Tribune.
Camp revealed the injury to the Cubs over the weekend. The toe had been bothering him for some time, but he attempted to pitch through the discomfort. This only aggravated the injury, and Chicago ultimately...
What is Jeff Samardzija’s trade value?
Before anyone freaks out, we’ll preface this with a disclaimer. Among many reports, the Cubs have been trying to hammer down an extension with Jeff Samardzija for a while, but Jeff has been resistant to a long-term deal at this time. Part of the reason is that he has been paid handsomely over his career so far and doesn’t really need the money, and part of it is because he...
Cubs place RHP Camp on disabled list
The Chicago Cubs have placed reliever Shawn Camp on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right big toe and recalled RHP Rafael Dolis.
The 37-year-old Camp has struggled this month and gave up a grand slam to Pittsburgh's Travis Snider in a 5-4 loss to the Pirates on Tuesday night. The right-hander is 1-1 with a 7.56 ERA this season, including a 10.13 ERA in six appearances...

Late night purely platonic Matt Garza thoughts
Matt Garza did in fact return to the mound on Tuesday and actually pitched rather well despite his bullpen failing. Garza was coming back from injury and thus was subject to a pitch count as the Cubs wanted to make sure he was comfortable and could handle the load based on a carefully crafted plan. Safe to say Garza passed his test and he should be given a longer leash next time...
Chicago Cubs Designate Right-Handed Reliever Michael Bowden
Right-handed reliever Michael Bowden was designated for assignment by the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. He was the one that drew the shortest straw to make room for veteran pitcher Matt Garza. Iornically, the pitching starved Cubs gave up on the 26-year-old despite him having a solid 1.14 WHIP and sub-4.0 earned run average. He will have to clear waivers to have a shot at being retained...

Theo Epstein and the Cubs Rebuilding Still A Work in Progress
The Chicago Cubs are suffering through a disappointing stretch, marred by a struggling offense, inconsistent middle and backend relief, and questionable leadership at the hands of Tom Ricketts, Theo Epstein. The starting rotation and ever-patient northside faithful have been the sole glimmers of hope for the young, yet telling season.
With a little over two months remaining before...
