The Cubs lost the series finale against the Giants yesterday 5-1 (Why does the 1 look like it’s in a different font?). At the same time, Colorado beat St. Louis 4-3 to increase their Wildcard lead over the Cubs to 6.5 games with just seven games remaining in the season. I wouldn’t suggest investing in [...]

Cubs Continue Winning Ways
September 25, 2009 – 8:19 am
Things did not look good for the Cubs entering the 9th inning of last night’s game in San Francisco. The good guys were down 2-1 and faced the Giants closer, Brian Wilson. With two outs and Micah Hoffpauir on first base, Jeff Baker came to the plate with the game on the line. Wilson got [...]
More Milton Bradley News
September 24, 2009 – 7:34 am
The Cubs lost last night to the Brewers 3-2, but stayed 7.5 games behind Colorado, who lost to San Diego 6-3. The Cubs start an important (it makes me feel better to believe that the games are important) four game series tonight in San Francisco. The Cubs are currently 3.5 games behind the Giants in [...]
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 Cubs [...]
Cubs Lose Heartbreaker to Cardinals
September 19, 2009 – 7:58 am
The Cubs game against the Cardinals started out good, but ended horribly for the northsiders. In the first inning, the Cubs scored two runs off of John Smoltz on consecutive doubles by Kosuke Fukudome, Derrek Lee, and Aramis Ramirez. Unfortunately, that was all of the offense the Cubs could muster all night.
The Cardinals tied the [...]
Cubs Drop Two-Out-Of-Three to Milwaukee
September 18, 2009 – 8:20 am
The Cubs lost the rubber game of their series with Milwaukee yesterday by a score of 7-4. Randy Wells looked tired, Milton Bradley reminded us why we dislike him so, and the team generally failed to rise to the occasion.
With the loss, the Cubs drop to 7.0 games behind Wildcard leading Colorado with just 18 [...]
Will Cubs Resign Harden?
September 13, 2009 – 8:47 am
The Cubs got down early in yesterday’s game thanks to three errors in the fourth inning. They came back to tied the game 5-5 in the 7th inning, only to have Carlos Marmol allow two runs in the 9th to hand the game to the Reds.
If Marmol is the heir-apparent to the closers role in [...]
Cubs Glad To Be In Pittsburgh
September 8, 2009 – 6:59 am
There’s nothing like beating a last place team to raise your spirits. The Cubs took care of business against the last place Pirates in Pittsburgh yesterday by a score of 4-2. Derrek Lee continued his hot hitting ways with two homeruns and three of the four Cubs RBI. Lee now has 31 homeruns on the [...]
Cubs Lose Two-Out-of-Three to Mets
September 7, 2009 – 8:52 am
The Mets are a team in turmoil. More than any other team this year, they have been racked by injuries, their manager and GM are on the hot seat, and rumors are swirling that thier owner, Jeffrey Wilpon, lost so much money in the Madoff scam that he is going to have to sell the [...]
