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 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 [...]

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.  [...]

April 20th Cardinals at Cubs

This afternoon the Cubs take on their division rivals the St. Louis Cardinals.  Although the Cardinals went on to have a pretty good year (winning the world series and all), the Cubs had their number winning 11 games and losing 8.  This includes a 8-2 record (including sweeping two series) at Wrigley field.  This is [...]

The Rotation in 2007

I was hoping to be writing about how the Cubs have Reached a Deal with Carlos Zambrano.  Unfortunately, that was not to be.  I do have some good news though.  Here, as promised, is my positional breakdown of the Chicago Cubs.  As my article on new faces, I will try to avoid loading this up with [...]
