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 [...]

Cubs snap 3 game winning streak

Even though the Cubs lost yesterday they are still on a 10-2 run of late.  I have to give credit to the Nats Matt Chico for pitching a great game.  He made the Cubs look like a team that really didn’t want to be playing in the morning.  That was the strangest start time I’ve [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This will be game 2 of 7 against the Nationals this year.  [...]

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) [...]

Cubs Vs Braves April 19th Game Summary.

It’s the Weekend Update

First off, some sad news.  Mike Kinkade who had been having a great spring to this point is out 4 to 6 weeks after breaking his hand.  He was hit by a pitch on saturday and immediately walked straight to the trainer and the dugout.  His chances of making the team were pretty slim, but [...]

Weekend Spring Training Happenings (Updated)

Kerry Wood
As expected Wood threw to live hitters on Saturday.  According to the Cubs official web-page Wood threw really well.
It wasn’t fun,” said McGehee, the first batter to see Wood. “He looks pretty good. When he’s telling you what’s coming and he can buckle you on a breaking ball, he’s got a pretty good one [...]
