A video of Mark Grace and Bob Brenly discussing Grace's debut with the Diamondbacks.
There has been as much turnover with the Cubs in the last year than I've ever seen as a Cubs fan of many years. On October 17, the changes continue as Bob Brenly and WGN announce he will not return to the booth with Len Kasper to announce Cubs games in 2013.
Brenly, a former major league catcher and manager of the World Series champion Arizona Diamonbacks in 2001 (with fan favorite and long-time Cub, Mark Grace) is expected to replace Grace as the Diamondbacks announcer in 2013. (Source: chicago Tribune)
Ironically, Brenly is probably best known for his blunt criticism of players that didn't hustle or play the game the "right way" and he was the replacement for another outspoken Cubs announcer, Steve Stone when he first joined the Cubs for the 2005 season.
Any chance that Stone could make a return to the Cubs booth. Paul Sullivan of the tribune threw out a few names of possible Cubs replacements at announcer.
Which ex-Cub would you like to see make a return to Wrigley in the booth?

Over the years, I have seen many Cub movies and read many books about Chicago Cubs history, I was searching around the web for a good "This Day in Cubs History" website and couldn't say that I found one. If you love baseball statistics (like me), Baseball Reference.com is a great resource. A book that I've utilized quite a bit for research is called Cubs Journal by John Snyder.
I've been a Cubs fan all my life. Gone to probably around 100 Cubs games, taken a trip to Arizona to see the Cubs in spring training and survived both 1984, Bartman in 2003 and many more more difficult years being a longtime Cubs fan.
As one of the original teams, the Cubs certainly have their place in major league baseball history. This site will hopefully help everyone learn somethng new, give Cubs fans a chance to interact with blogs and poll questions and hopefully there will be an October entry soon that Cubs fans have been waiting for more than 100 years.
A few of the longest home runs came in Cubs games with Matt Garza giving up a long one to Michael Morse in Wrigley. Rodrigo Lopez gave up a shot to Juan Francisco
So, what about fantasy baseball for various 2011 Cubs? Watching a team so closely gives you an insight into which players are best for your team. Here is an updated list of which Cubs I like.
Chicago Cubs by month. The month of February sees trades like Sammy Sosa being sent to the Orioles for Mike Fontenot and others. The Bartman ball is destroyed.
March is a slow baseball month, but there were some historic Cubs happenings with Andre Dawson's blank check, A Cubs World Tour ends in Dublin, Ireland and an important Cubs trade in 1984.
Chicago Cubs by Month-November. No baseball in November, but Cubs hire managers Lou piniella and dusty Baker. Ernie Banks and Andre Dawson win MVP awards
Cubs history by decade, from the 1908 Cubs World Series victory to Hack Wilson, The Cubs of the 60s with Ernie Banks and Ron Santo to Starlin Castro and today's Cubs.
Ryan Theriot has always been a Cubs fan favorite. An appreciated player because of his hustle and very active in the Chicago community while with the Cubs.
Ron Santo will be missed by Cubs fan. A long-time great Cubs player who was inspiration to many with his struggle with diabetes. Santo was one of the most well known announcer after his playing days
The 1908 Chicago Cubs are the last Cubs team to win the World Series. The 1908 World Series was quick but the 1908 Cubs had to battle the Giants and Pirates in an exciting race.
The 1945 Chicago Cubs are the last Cubs team to make it to the World Series. The most memorable part of the 1945 World Series is the Curse of the Billy Goat.

The Harry Caray Statue is a tribute to late, great Cubs announcer. Located near the Wrigley Field bleacher's so that Cubs fans can remember the beloved announcer.
Ronald Reagan Cubs fan and announcer. One of Reagan's early jobs even before he went to Hollywood was announcing Cubs games on a Des Moines, Iowa radio station.
Old time Chicago White Stockings (team name ultimately Chicago Cubs), Ned Williamson at one time held the single season HR record until Babe Ruth hit 29 HR's in 1919

The Chicago Crosstwon Classic is the Cubs vs White Sox rivalry. Since 1997, the Cubs and Sox have played regular season games. A little about the history, some stats and videos to relive this series
