The Cubs fell yesterday despite another quality start by Ryan Dempster. The Cubs bats have cooled off in the last couple of games, and last night managed 3 runs against the Nationals 5. The real bright point for the game was Reed Johnson’s highlight reel catch last night. If you haven’t […]

The Fukudome Effect
April 23rd, 2008 · No Comments
After finishing the last home stand with an 8-1 record, the Chicago Cubs travel today to begin a trip in Colorado and then Washington before coming back home next Tuesday to face the Brewers. This is another two-game series, like the on with the Mets the last two days. Can I say how stupid two-game […]
Don’t Buck with Tradition

Or should I say the Cubs? The Pirates are in town for a three game series starting today after getting swept by the Cubs in three games last week. The Cubs will look to build upon their success last week in Pittsburgh as Rich Hill returns to the rotation to take on Ian Snell.
Hill has […]
I Saw Red

Ok, so maybe you don’t know that Sublime song, but that doesn’t matter. What does matter is that the Cubs are opening up an eight game homestand tonight against NL Central opponents, the Cincinnati Reds. The Cubs and Reds have been dueling for over a hundred years and it is a little odd to be […]
Marquis Set To Take On The Phillies
April 13th, 2008 · No Comments
Its been a busy weekend, so I haven’t had time to write or research much for today’s post. The Cubs have dropped two straight and are looking to Jason Marquis (de-suck) to get them back on track. He really needs to throw well today. You can’t say it enough right now, our […]

Climb Back On That Phanatic

The Cubs early season five game winning streak came to a close last night as the Cubs faltered against the Phillies, 5-3. The game had its bright points for the Cubs, including back-to-back jacks in the first by D-Lee and Aramis Ramirez, the first time for back-to-back jacks this season. Congrats to the lucky 720AM […]

Today’s the final game in the Pirates’ series and Rich Hill is on the mound against right hand tosser Matt Morris. In Hill’s first start this season the Cubs ultimately let Rich down after a quality start. Hill went 6 innings, giving up 2 earned runs with 4Ks and ended up with a no-decision as […]
My 6 Year Old Nephew Fields Better Than You

What can I say? Monday’s game against the Pirates featured some atrocious fielding. It was embarrassing really. The Cubs are on pace to allow more unearned runs than any other team in the history of professional baseball. Guys, you are supposed to be professions. Take pride in your glove work, […]

I love talking like a Pirate. I don’t care for the Pirates, though they have helped the Cubs with late season trades a few times in recent memory, including the acquisition of slugger Aramis Ramirez a couple of years ago. So I can’t bemoan them too much. Anyway, on to the meat […]
