Watch Chicago Cubs Online - Live Streaming MLB Games
Chicago Cubs are American baseball team that play in the MBL for the Central Division. No Major League Baseball MLB team has continuously represented the same city longer than the Chicago Cubs and their forerunners. The franchise dates back to 1870, and early team names included the White Stockings, Colts, and Orphans. Chicago’s first star was Cap Anson, one of the premier hitters of the 19th century, who led the team to the first championship of the National League in 1876.
The Cubs—as the team was officially dubbed in 1907—were a top team in baseball’s early decades, winning a record 116 games in 1906 and capturing consecutive World Series titles in 1907 and 1908. Since then, however, the team has established the longest championship fail in major league baseball. Chicago lost in the World Series seven times from 1910 to 1945 and has not returned to their former glory since. Their uniform consists of the following colors: Blue, Red and White. Nicknames associated with them are somewhat cute and humorous showing that their fans are loyal and love them very much, names like “The Lovable Losers” and “The Cubbies” are evidently comical.
Their player line-up for the year of 2011 includes the following: Chris Carpenter, Ryan Dempster, Matt Garza, John Grabow, Rodrigo Lopez, Carlos Marmol, Sean Marshall, Ramon Ortiz, James Russell, Jeff Samardzija, Randy Wells and Kerry Woods. Dempster and Garza are among the very few in the team who are earning $14,833.333 and $5,950,000 comparatively. Dempster is a right-handed thrower and pitcher and has won the awards such as “2x All-Star Selection”. He has also been named one of the 99 “Good Guys” in professional sports, and also has played in the NHL All-Star Celebrity Challenge. All round he has shown his ability and continues to improve and better his situation showing maturity that is ever green!! Garza also stands as a professional baseball pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and is known to have pitched a no-hitter on July 26, 2010.
Although this team has seen many ups and downs these teams have a lot to learn from their neighboring teams that hold many honors to their names. Titles may not prove the size of the metal but the metal sure has to prove its strengths once in a while. The Chicago Cubs have seen scrutiny, many a person has questioned the teams’ abilities but never have they seen the light of day and not stood on the pitch for the soil that means everything to them. They aspire to be at the top, they dream of their due glory and fame that once rested at their feet and struggle to achieve greatness. Those who struggle find it easy to walk through tough terrain no matter how hard the rain batters on their backs.
