Cubs Sweep Astros, Barry Bonds and The Giants next?

The Cubs opened the second half of the season with a bang sweeping the Astros.  Unfortunately, I can not comment on the games because I missed a large portion of all 3 games due to a combination of Ottawa Lynx games.  Until I catch up on those games I’ll stick to talking about the future [...]

Cubs at Pirates July 7th

Happy Live Earth day.  There is nothing like listening to some good music especially for a good cause.  The bad news is the Cubs lost to the Pirates yesterday and the Brewers won dropping the Cubbies back to 5.5 games back.  The Cubs also lost Dempster for an extended period of time.  He was unable [...]

Brewers at Cubs June 30th

What a game…  Rich Hill struggled early and didn’t even make it to the 4th inning.  The Bullpen picked him up and shut out the good hitting Brewers the rest of the way.  A big kudos to Billy Petrick, Michael Wuertz, Carlos Marmol and Bob Howry for keeping the game close and giving the Cubs a [...]

Rockies at Cubs June 27th

The Cubs will be going for win number 6 tonight against the Rockies.  It really seems like the Cubs can do no wrong at the moment.  I’m still in shock the Cubs gave up 6 runs in the 9th two days ago and still can back and won.  I think the Cubs are starting to [...]

Padres at Cubs June 25th

I don’t have a lot of time to post tonight, so here’s a bare bones preview
Cub Vs Rockies
The Cubs are 63-61 all-time against the Rockies.  The Rockies beat up on the Cubbies last year winning 4 games in 6 tries.  The Cubs are entering the Game with a 3 game winning streak and the Rockies [...]

Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Cubs WIN!

I wrote about it the other day but I really didn’t expect it to happen.  The Cubs swept the White Sox and evened the the all-time record between the two teams (30-30).  The Cubs took advantage of a struggling Sox lineup and outscored the Sox 10-2 over the series.  A very decisive victory. 
Alfonso Soriano hit [...]

Cubs at White Sox June 22nd

It’s been a while since I’ve done a game preview thread.  It is time to get back to business.  Today, the Cubs will be taking on the struggling White Sox.  Back in May, the Cub’s took 2 of 3 games to take round one of the season series.  The Cubbies are looking to bounce back [...]

Mariners at Cubs June 13th/ Umpires

I wanted to post this yesterday but I was unable to log onto wordpress.  All problems have worked out and I’m happy posting again. 
The Umpires in baseball are really getting out of control.  This is not in direct response to Ted Lilly getting throw out (although I’d be liar if I didn’t admit it was [...]

Cubs at Braves June 9th

All I have to say is Soriano is a beast.  His 4 hit, 3 homerun night last night was extremely impressive.  Here is a few more interesting stats.  Soriano is 19-17 (.514) with 6 homeruns so far in June.  He is also the first Cub to hit 3 homeruns in a game since Sammy Sosa back [...]

Two Game Winning Streak

How about that we won two games in a row.   Alfonso Soriano is a big part of that.  He is absolutely on fire and he is really earning his pay the last week or so.  He looks like a completely different player.  He has a bounce in his step and a hint of arrogance that [...]
