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 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
Who Will Bat Leadoff For Cubs in 2010
September 12, 2009 – 8:39 am
First, let me say that I was right. Ah, that feels good. I originally reported that Alfonso Soriano would have surgery on his ailing knee and would be out the rest of the year. Then, Gordon Wittenmyer chimed in and said that Soriano would be back before the end of the month and would wait [...]
Cubs Wild Card Hopes Stay Alive
August 31, 2009 – 8:00 am
The Cubs are 10.0 games behind the Cardinals in the NL Central and all but mathematically eliminated. However, there is still a glimmer of hope in the Wildcard race. The Cubs are currently 5.5 games behind Colorado, who has lost five games in a row, and San Francisco, who swept the Rockies over the weekend. [...]
