Cubs at Cardinals July 24th

It seems like 20 years since the last time I posted.  I’ve been very busy lately trying to sort out my move and as well as a get a job.  I recently have had a death in the family which has reduced my desire to write recently.  But Good news, I’m back writing today.  Unfortunately, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Sammy Sosa hits #600

I was really hoping Sammy would hit the homerun off the Cubs.  As stated before it would really be poetic justice.  In fact, It turned out to have a little extra poetry as the Pitcher he hit number 600 off (Jason Marquis), who is also the first Cub to wear Sammy’s old number 21.  Not [...]

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 [...]

Keys For Success Against the White Sox

I know there has been one heart breaking loss and a come from behind victory since I last wrote.  However, that is ancient history.  If you have a problem with that you need to stop living in the past…
 Keys to Success
1.  Michael Barrett’s temper.
You know A.J. and the rest of the White Sox will be [...]

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 [...]

Pirates at Cubs May 10th

Jason Marquis continued his quest to make me look foolish.  In spring training I ragged on him every chance I could.  After every good start I’ve said it won’t last.  After his complete game shutout and 3 hitter last night, I’m officially on the Jason Marquis bandwagon.  I am happy to admit I may have [...]

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) [...]
