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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

Mark Prior Update April 23

Well it seems doctors really can’t figure out what is wrong with Mark Prior.  He is going under the knife on Tuesday for a surgerical procedure to find out what exactly is going wrong with his shoulder.  This will effectively end his season.  If anyone still has Prior sitting on their fantasy team, now may [...]

Cardinals at Cubs April 21st

That was certainly an interesting game last night.  Lilly once again threw a great game but the Cub’s offense in particular the base runners really let him down.  We had some odd plays with Cedeno getting thrown out on a walk and a triple play that was later downsized to just interference on Henry Blanco.  [...]

Cubs Vs Braves April 18th

Today the Cubs will take on the braves in a two game series.  Carlos Zambrano will face Kyle Davies this evening and Rich Hill will take on Mark Redmantomorrow.  So far on the first home stand of the year the cubs are a pathetic 2-5.  As a team they are hitting .251 and have only [...]
