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 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 [...]

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) [...]

Cardinals at Cubs April 21st

That was certainly an interesting game last night.  Lilly once again threw a great game but the Cub’s offense in particular the base runners really let him down.  We had some odd plays with Cedeno getting thrown out on a walk and a triple play that was later downsized to just interference on Henry Blanco.  [...]

April 20th Cardinals at Cubs

This afternoon the Cubs take on their division rivals the St. Louis Cardinals.  Although the Cardinals went on to have a pretty good year (winning the world series and all), the Cubs had their number winning 11 games and losing 8.  This includes a 8-2 record (including sweeping two series) at Wrigley field.  This is [...]

Cubs Vs Braves April 18th

Today the Cubs will take on the braves in a two game series.  Carlos Zambrano will face Kyle Davies this evening and Rich Hill will take on Mark Redmantomorrow.  So far on the first home stand of the year the cubs are a pathetic 2-5.  As a team they are hitting .251 and have only [...]

Behind the Plate in 2007

Once again this year, Michael Barrett and Henry Blanco will do the catching for the Cubs this year.  And once again, Geovany Soto will be starting the year in AAA in case of injury.
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett had quite the roller-coaster year in 2006.  A few highlights from his year included punching A.J. Pierzynski, fighting for the [...]
