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 [...]

Brewers at Cubs June 30th

What a game…  Rich Hill struggled early and didn’t even make it to the 4th inning.  The Bullpen picked him up and shut out the good hitting Brewers the rest of the way.  A big kudos to Billy Petrick, Michael Wuertz, Carlos Marmol and Bob Howry for keeping the game close and giving the Cubs a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
