It’s been an event filled few days for the Cubs. After losing two-out-of-three to the Pirates, the Cubs came roaring back to sweep the Rockies in a two game series at Wrigley Field.

Big News: Cubs Beat Pirates
May 17, 2010 – 5:21 am
The good news is that the Cubs beat the Pirates yesterday 4-3. In order to do that, they had to come back from a 3-0 deficit. The winning run came in the 8th inning when pinch-hitter Xavier Nady hit an RBI single to drive home Alfonso Soriano. Soriano was the hitting star of the game [...]
Cubs Lose…And I Was There
May 10, 2010 – 6:11 am
I spent yesterday in Cincinnati with a couple of friends sitting 12 rows behind the Reds dugout while watching the Cubs lose to the Reds for the second day in a row. It was also the fifth loss in six games for the Cubs. Not a fun road trip. The Cubs loss in Cincinnati was eerily [...]

The Cubs lost last night to the Brewers 3-2, but stayed 7.5 games behind Colorado, who lost to San Diego 6-3.

Cubs Suspend Bradley for the Rest of the Year
September 21, 2009 – 7:47 am
Saying he could no longer tolerate the disrepect Milton Bradley was showing to fans and media personnel, Cubs GM Jim Hendry suspended the troubled outfielder for the remainder of the season. The final straw appeared to be comments Bradley made in an article written by Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald and reported in this [...]
Cubs Lose (Again) to Cardinals
September 20, 2009 – 10:14 am
I’ve gotten to the point in the Cubs season where I don’t even get upset anymore when they lose. Sometimes I think it is injuries that killed the team, other times I blame it on underachieving players. It’s a mix of both I suppose, but does it really matter? The result is the same. The [...]
