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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Ramirez and Guzman hurt, Cubs Draft Vitters

I know this is sort of old news but I’m just getting to it now.  Ramirez had to leave the game on thursday due to in lahmen’s terms a really sore knee.  Apparently, the injury has been bothering him for most of the year.  he tweaked something in his knee trying to run out a ground ball [...]

Marlins at Cubs May 29th

As stated before I apologize for my absence.  Now, back to business.  The cubs have been really snake bitten lately.  They starters have pitched great including earning a quality start in each of the last four games.  The Bullpen is right where i left it… floundering.  The Offense has been struggling a bit as well, [...]

White Sox at Cubs May 19th 2007

That was a great win yesterday.  A comeback win is exactly what the Cubs needed after coughing up 5 runs in the 9th on Thursday.  The Bullpen (Howry and Dempster) pitched two innings of scoreless ball and struckout 4 batters.  Ted Lilly was finally given somerun support to earn his 4th win of the year.  Lilly [...]

Cubs at Mets May 16th

It’s amazing the difference a day makes.  The Cubs actually looked like a playoff team last night.  We had a strong outing by Zambrano, and lots of timely hitting.  Every single person who had an at-bat last night got a hit except for Alfonso Soriano (he did get a walk).  This includes defensive sub Angel [...]

Cubs at Mets May 14th

Ted Lilly finally got a little bit of run support last night.  Leading the charge was Mr. Matt Murton and Cesar Izturis with 3 hits apiece.  I’ve noticed the last few weeks Murton has been thrown through the mud on the www.cubs.com fan forum.  Most people on the forum do seem to be over-reactive and want to trade [...]

May 13th Cubs vs Phillies

The Cubs showed a lot of heart last night to tie the game late.  Unfortunately the bullpen was not able to prevent the team’s 3rd straight loss.  Matt Murton played a great game as he is benefiting from regular playing time.  Today, The Cubs will be taking on the Phillies for the 3rd and final game of [...]
