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 [...]

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 [...]

Ramirez and Guzman hurt, Cubs Draft Vitters

I know this is sort of old news but I’m just getting to it now.  Ramirez had to leave the game on thursday due to in lahmen’s terms a really sore knee.  Apparently, the injury has been bothering him for most of the year.  he tweaked something in his knee trying to run out a ground ball [...]

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 [...]

Pirates at Cubs May 8th

The Cubs are on quite a roll of late winning 8 of their last 9, which includes their last 5 games.  The Pirates, on the other hand have been struggling.  They come into the series losing 7 of their last 9 games.  You know the Cubs look to take advantage of this opportunity to really [...]
