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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Brewers at Cubs April 24th

What and ugly depressing game that was last night.  It seems the Cubs do this every time.  They take a lead early and then either the Starter or the Bullpen coughs it up in the middle innings.  The Cubs are now 7-12 on the season.  The good news (or bad news depending on your perspective) [...]

The Outfielders of 2007

 The Cubs outfield in 2007 should be fairly familiar to those who watched the Cubs last year.  The Cubs went out a spent a few dollars to bring in Soriano and he’s expected to start in center.  Jacque Jones will once again pick the dandelions in right and Matt Murton will most likely platoon with [...]
