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 [...]

BBPRO article on the Barrett Trade

The article is located here.
Here is a quick quote from the article
What bothers me, rather, is that the Cubs’ have developed a nasty habit under Jim Hendry’s tenure of doing everything in their power to degrade a player’s value, and then trading him for pennies on the dollar. The mere fact that the trade seems [...]

Barrett Shown the Door

In a move that really surprises no one, Michael Barrett was traded to the San Diego Padres for backup catcher Rob Bowen and prospect Kyler Burke.  It seems pretty ironic that this trade happened at the time it did.  I just finished an article about how the Cubs like to run players through the mud [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Zambrano and Barrett Come To Blows UPDATED AGAIN!

After the disasterous 5th inning,  Zambrano and Barrett engaged in a very heated discussion which than turned physical with Zambrano lunging after Barrett.  Zambrano was yelling at Barrett probably for his passed ball that led to one of the runs.  Michael then appeared to point to the scoreboard (probably pointing out that with or without [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
