What A week

I had a pretty emotional and lengthy absence here.  I had to go away to attend a funeral for my grandfather.  He was truly a great man will be missed.  Unfortunately, I’ve spent the last day or so packing and catching up on missed Cubs stuff.  I’m not fully caught up but there are a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Brewskis Vs Baby Bears April 23rd

The Cubs are facing the Brewers for the 4th time this year.  The Cubs took 2 or 3 from the Brewers at Miller field April 6-8th.  Last year the Brewers and Cubs split their meetings 8-8, including going 4-5 at Wrigley Field.  Today’s Game will Feature Carlos Zambrano (1-2, 7.77) vs Claudio Vargas (1-0, 3.46)
Carlos [...]

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 [...]
