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 […]

Cubs Lose a Close One

With the Cubs surging, it was clear that they would have to settle back a little bit. They swept the Indians over the weekend and then headed to Atlanta to make up a game from earlier this season. Atlanta’s Javier Vasquez was able to hold the Cubs down, despite Chicago’s total of 10 hits over […]

Revived

The Chicago Cubs have found a way to revive themselves in a big way. They have been having a lot of trouble hitting and getting runs over the last several weeks. While they have some important wins in the last couple of weeks, yesterday’s win against the White Sox was just the kind of bump […]

Big Series This Week

As we all know, the Cubs have underperformed this season so far, landing at only 30-30 this deep in the season. They haven’t hit their stride, especially on offense. The relief pitching has been having a lot of trouble shutting the other team down as they always hope to. Starting tonight, they will be having […]

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!

The Cubs are starting to pick things up with some wins on the road and it has been interesting to see this team getting better in the last few weeks. They were losing on the road but now they are back to winning on the road. The only trick at the moment is that they […]

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, […]
