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 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 [...]
Cubs Get New Hitting Coach
June 15, 2009 – 8:15 am
The Cubs have been having trouble scoring runs this year so they made the only move the could make. They fired hitting coach Gerald Perry and replaced him with Triple-A hitting coach Von Joshua. The move immediately paid off as the Cubs went out and beat the Twins 3-2 to salvage the final game of [...]

The Cubs continued to get good pitching and very little offense in their 2-1 victory against the Reds in the first game of the series. Carlos Zambrano pitched 6.2 innings, giving up just two hits and no earned runs. He also hit what would prove to be the game winning home run in the fifth [...]

In Thursday’s matchup, Randy Wolff out-dueled Cubs rookie Randy Wells in a game the Dodgers won 2-1.

May 28, 2009 – 8:27 am
A lot happened involving the Cubs yesterday, so I’ll present all the happenings in bulletted form for your reading pleasure: The Cubs beat the Pirates 5-2. Zambrano pitched 6.1 innings before being ejected for (barely) bumping the home plate umpire during an argument over a play at the plate. Carlos Marmol got the victory and Kevin Gregg [...]
Cubs Get Lucky

The Cubs got lucky on Saturday. Going in to the ninth inning, the Cubs had a 4-0 lead over Roy Oswalt and the Houston Astros. In his second Major League start, Randy Wells pitched six strong (albeit adventurous) innings and had shut-out the Astros to that point. Micah Hoffpauir led the way offensively with a 2-run [...]
