Ouch
The Cubs had a rough weekend against the Chicago White Sox. Friday was the only win that the team was able to get against their crosstown rivals. This wouldn’t be nearly that kind of problem if they were winning ballgames otherwise. The crosstown games are always a little weird. But the Cubs dropped most of […]

Please Don’t Fold
How quickly things change. The Cubs have had a rough week. After last week, it looked like they might be on the upswing with a couple of great come-from-behind wins and other kinds of fun. This week, the team seems to have dropped off the edge of the earth. They were swept by the Detroit […]

Big Z Spoiled
Carlos Zambrano started a great new phase, after a rather dramatic last few weeks, with a win! Or, that’s the way it looked in the 8th inning, after 8 quality innings pitched by Z. He has had some trouble with control in certain outings. He allowed just one run on 3 hits in his innings. […]

Cubs Win
When the Chicago Cubs took the field yesterday, it was immediately following a big disappointment in the 12th inning the night before. That night, the Cubs were winning 5-0 in the 8th inning when they melted down and allowed Atlanta to tie it, sending it to extra innings where the Braves finally took it. Wells, […]

Cubs Split with Dodgers
Even though the Dodgers won a game decisively on Sunday and closed out their most successful May in over 40 years, the Cubs won a good game using the talented arm of Ryan Dempster on Saturday. This resulted in a split of the series which helps to lower the fears of the Cubs. Last week, […]
