Cubs at Cardinals July 24th

It seems like 20 years since the last time I posted.  I’ve been very busy lately trying to sort out my move and as well as a get a job.  I recently have had a death in the family which has reduced my desire to write recently.  But Good news, I’m back writing today.  Unfortunately, [...]

Giants at Cubs July 19th

Has anyone else felt a little let down that Mr. Bonds has not started any of the games in Chicago?  I imagine, Bonds won’t be playing in most away games coming up.  I think he wants to hit the record at home.  I really think Bonds is blowing his chance to make peace with the [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Suspensions handed out in Cub/Padre melee

The League was very quick to get suspensions out. 
Cubs:
Derrek Lee- 5 games
Gerald Perry- 3 Games, plus undisclosed fine
Padres:
Chris Young- 5 games
Jake Peavy- undisclosed fine
Brian Giles- undiscolsed fine
For the most part I think the league got it right.  The league really is never consistent on these types of things.  Jason Kendall whom charged the mound (and [...]

Cub’s Brawl again in hard fought game

Tempers are obviously running high for the Cubs.  Derrek Lee throws a punch?  Derrek Lee has always been the most mild mannered guy on the field.  I can’t imagine what was said to make Lee react like he did.  Obviously, it wasn’t “I’m sorry”.   When a player on the other team says he’s going to [...]

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 [...]
