Happy Monday, friends.

What a week (and, really, what a month) it was. There's a whole lot to get into this Monday, and of course, I'll be starting things off with the Field of Dreams game. That was an awesome event that made three-hour trip straight to the field in the morning and the three-hour trip straight home at night worth it.

Beyond that, the Cubs made some notable roster moves in the week, and I wanted to take a bit of a closer look at them. And in addition, a Rays pitcher nearly accomplished a feat that no pitcher in the long history of the Cubs ever has, and it was pretty fascinating to take a closer look at the time a Cubs pitcher came oh-so-close to doing it.

I'll get into more of that below, so let's go. Here are your Monday morning Cubs thoughts.

It wasn’t easy but the Cubs defeated the Padres 7-5 behind a two-run single by Alfonso Rivas and Frank Schwindel’s bases clearing double to take Game 3 against the Padres in San Diego. After an abysmal showing against the Dodgers over the…

Happy Monday, folks!

We're heading into a new week, which means I've got another set of my Monday thoughts for you to dig into this morning. It was a wild weekend as far as roster movement goes, but none of that shuffling made up for the 0-5 week the Cubs experienced.

Things just aren't looking up for Chicago right now, whether it's on the field (the team starts the new week with a three-game series in San Diego), in the trainer's room (Marcus Stroman is on the injured list and Justin Steele left Sunday's game early with an ailment) or on the transaction list (Frank Schwindel is now with the Iowa Cubs).

So OK, let's really get into it.

Here they are, everyone, my Monday morning Cubs thoughts (the May 9 edition).
