Wednesday Cubs News  - Despite the claims of the Illinois
speaker of the House that the bond deal was dead, Tom Ricketts
is pushing forward with union leaders in hand about how the
Wrigley improvement project will do magnificent things for
everyone. The drawings sure are pretty.  - The same link has
Hendry's annual offseason quote that the trade market looks good
this offesason.  - At, Hendry says a lot without saying anything
about first base. He does seem to indicate they'll take their
time since there are so many options which is code for going on
the cheap. He also indicates that adding pitching depth
(relievers and starters) is the focus so don't expect any big
names, if for some reason you were. Looks like the Cubs are
gonna be dumpster diving this offseason for players, which
certainly can work out...or not.  - Heyman says the Cubs and
just about the entire National League isn't very interested in
Adam Dunn.  - Harry Caray's in Wrigleyville is closing down, bad
mojo between the resteraunt and landlord.
