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 [...]
Cubs Try to Lose, But Can’t
August 24, 2009 – 5:24 am
The Cubs did everything they could to throw away yesterday’s game in Los Angeles, but the umpires wouldn’t allow it.
A bad throw by Ryan Theriot pulled Mike Fontenot off of second base on a force out, but the umpire called the runner out anyway. Don’t these types of calls usually go against the Cubs?

Things Are Not As Bad As They Seem
June 19, 2009 – 8:23 am
If you’re a “glass-is-half-empty” kind of person, you can find plenty of reason to be depressed about the performance of the Cubs so far this season. Over the past month (26 games), the Cubs have averaged just three runs per games. They’ve generally gotten good pitching from their starters, but the effort has been wasted because [...]
Cubs vs White Sox at Wrigley
June 16, 2009 – 5:13 am
The Cubs get ready to host the crosstown rival White Sox today at Wrigley Field. John Danks (4-5) will take on Carlos Zambrano (4-2) tonight under the lights.
A lot of people make a big deal out of this series. One side hates the other and it’s common to see “Cubs Suck” or “Sox Suck” t-shirts all [...]
