"It was a tough first 10,000 wins," [Ryan] Theriot said with a chuckle. "I hope the next 10,000 are easier."

We are in uncharted territory.

Not just for the 10,000th win in franchise history -- a 7-6, come-from-behind, extra-inning thriller over the Rockies -- but for the 15-6 start which is now tied with the Diamondbacks for the best record in baseball.

Here are all the Cub teams since 1900 that have started the season better than 15-6:

1907: 17-4.

That's it. Four other post-1900 Cub teams (1906, 1932, 1969 and 1975) also started 15-6, and a number of 19th Century teams were 15-6 or better (the best, the 1879 club, went 18-2 with one tie), but the 2008 Cubs are now in the upper echelon of great starts by this 132-year-old franchise. The 1975 team is the outlier in that group -- they were playing over their heads and wound up 75-87 in fifth place in the old NL East -- but the rest of them were all either pennant winners, World Series winners... and we won't talk about the 1969 team, as you all know how that wound up.

The Cubs also won their fourth extra-inning game on the road last night (and haven't lost any -- the only extra-inning loss this year was on Opening Day at home). The last time the Cubs won four extra-inning games on the road was 2004 -- but that year, it took them till August to do that.

Winning anything on the road, particularly at Coors Field where it rarely seems to matter how big a lead you get, is always gratifying. I want to give thanks right here and right now to the thousands of Cubs fans who made the "Let's Go Cubbies!" and "Fukudome!" chants audible -- loudly -- on the CSN telecast (although at least on my cable system, Comcast in Chicago, there was no audio at all on the HD feed for the first few minutes; later they did fix this problem). I know some of that came from BCB readers who posted here that they were attending last night's game.

Rich Hill pitched -- well, okay, considering that his career ERA coming into this game at Coors Field was somewhere orbiting Mars. He walked four, but got out of most jams mostly unscathed; his boxscore line shows he allowed two runs, but only one of those -- a Clint Barmes HR -- scored while he was in the game. Four Cub relievers contributed to the rest of the Rockies' five-run sixth inning, giving Colorado a 5-3 lead.

Then the Cubs clawed back, scoring one run and executing a double steal (when's the last time you saw that happen?) in the 7th, making it 5-4, then taking the lead 6-5 with two strikes and two out in the 9th on Aramis Ramirez' long home run 3/4 of the way up into the LF seats.

Just as Manny Corpas blew a save with two out in the 9th, so did Kerry Wood, allowing a single to Scott Podsednik (Len & Bob noted how much Pods looked exactly like he did as a White Sox, with the Rockies' very similar sleeveless uniforms) and a triple to Ryan Spilborghs, after retiring the first two Rockies in the 9th on strikeouts.

But the Cubs would not quit, and manufactured a run in good style in the 10th, the winning run being driven in by Ryan Theriot in the 2008 "Have A Different Hero Every Day" Cub style. Carlos Marmol finished it out uneventfully -- isn't it nice to know that after your closer comes out of the game for a pinch-hitter, there's someone else right behind him who can also close?

Finally this morning, apologies from me and SBN for the massive outage last night which was caused, ironically, by a server upgrade which was done the night before (if you recall, I'd made this post Tuesday night alerting you to what was supposed to be a short planned outage). Trei and the tech team are hoping we're past the issues, which were caused, we are told, by "bad RAM"... however, they are going to monitor traffic later today when more game threads get going. Apologies from me and know that they're doing everything they can to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Uncharted territory. This is also the first time in Cub history that they have had two separate winning streaks of five games or longer in April. Keep it going. I'll have a game thread up later this morning for the 2:05 CDT start.

Big Win!!!

Just shows you how much character this team has. I’m getting really excited about this team.

So nobody has to see the scroll bar on my posts!!!!

It was good to see them fight back

and pick up Wood after he blew the save.

The team is definitely playing with a bit of confidence right now, which is good to see.

Rockies Broadcasters

I must give credit where credit is due. I flat out enjoyed listening to them. they were very knowlegable about the opposing team and were extremely complimentary of players like d. lee. they clearly do their homework and for that i commend them. i usaully hate other teams commentators. great TEAM win last night. this team has chemistry like no other ive ever seen before.

I have to agree

For some reason, we received both the Cubs and Rockies broadcasts on EI in HD last night. I mostly watched the Rockies guys, at first because the HD audio was out on the comcast feed. Those Rockies guys were good – far batter than average. Very knowledgeable.

i live in denver

so i watch the rockies broadcaster quite a bit. they don’t pretend to be neutral – they root for their team (which is fine to me, but is often labeled “homerism”). the thing that i really like about them comapred to most broadcasters that i’ve seen/heard is that the rockies guys talk baseball for the whole game. strangely enough, it is rare to watch a baseball game anymore where they actually talk about baseball the whole time.

A fantastic start

This season is off to a fntastic start and there is defeintely a new found confidence on the team. Games are not being gievn away as they have in prior years – this squad keeps fighting back and never count themselves out. There’s still a lot of baseball to be played but nothing like getting this season off on the right foot.

The last double steal

I remember was near the beginning of Juan Pierre’s time here. Pierre and DLee had one, I believe at wrigley

Los Cachorros!

by Laven on Apr 24, 2008 8:26 AM CDT   0 recs

April 19, 2008 vs. the Pirates

Not sure if this counts as a double steal, I don’t remember if a good throw would have caught DeRosa – but …
“As Fukudome and DeRosa took off on a double steal attempt, catcher Ryan Doumit threw the ball into left field for an error that let a run score. DeRosa took third on the play and trotted home on Gorzelanny’s wild pitch.”

Wasn't the Cubs...

...but did anyone see when BJ Upton stole home against the Mariners this year on the backside of a double steal? Haven’t seen the first and third double steal in a LONG time…Successfully, at least…

but honestly, I’m surprised that you don’t see that more often. Considering the postioning of the middle infielder at second, you’d imagine any baserunner with above-average speed should have a decent shot at home.

What's the Cubs' record

for consecutive sweeps?

by sdurst on Apr 24, 2008 8:26 AM CDT   0 recs

Good question.

The club record for wins in a row is 21—set in 1935 during the pennant race in September. They swept the Phillies, Dodgers, Braves, Giants and Pirates… and the first four of those series were FOUR-game series. The Pirates series was a two-game series; that made 18 straight. Then they won the first three in St. Louis before losing the last two of a five-game series.

by IowaCubs- on Apr 24, 2008 9:21 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

There was a doubleheader in that series.

There aren’t very many of those these days; the Cubs played one vs. the Cardinals in 2003 (a memorable series). If you get one now, it’s probably because of a rainout makeup game.

Last night was special...

This team has a new identity, a swagger and a confidence that I haven’t seen in a while.
I am usually cynical and would normally get down after Kerry blew that save, but last night, I was like “that’s okay… we’ll get ‘em in the 10th.”

To that end...

Wood did a nice job of buckling down and getting that last out in the 9th and thereby stranding the runner on third. It would have been easy to let down after giving up the lead, however he finished it off and gave Soto/Theriot a chance to win it baby!

by bap on Apr 24, 2008 9:24 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Wood looked great

Woods slider last night was better than Marmols by far. If you look at the batting avg against Wood on the season its clear he has run into a little bad luck IE the hits came a bit in bunches.

Even after the triple to tie the game I was rewinding back to the first strikeout which was absolutely sick.

by Hammer on Apr 24, 2008 9:26 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed.

It was really frustrating b/c Woody looked absolutely sick on the first 2 batters, but credit to Pods and Spielborghs for just sittin’ on Kerry’s fastball. Then Marmol comes in the 10th and I believe falls behind the first 3 batters but stuck w/ his stuff and and came through. Ironic, but oh so Beautiful. Go Cubs.

Cubs Not Digging Big Hole for Themselves

Barring a slew of injuries, especially to pitchers, (yeah, I remember 1985), I don’t see the Cubs having to make up an 8.5 game deficit this season as they did last season. They should be in first place or close to it the rest of the season. 2 games up with 141 to go is not a bad place to be.

by memphiscub on Apr 24, 2008 8:37 AM CDT   0 recs

I had friends at Coors Field last night... (Cubs fans of course)

They called me right after A-Ram’s blast in the 9th… I couldn’t hear a word my friend said because the Cubs fans there were too loud. Then when Dome got up with runners on 2nd and 3rd…. they called again just so I could hear the Fuk-u-dome-A chant. If the Cubs keep up their current pace…. I think we are going to see a lot of Cubs fans crawling out from under rocks in every city we play at - something that is going to make every team we play feel a wee bit uncomfortable in their own stadium. (See Brewers, Cardinals, White Sox, D-Backs, Rockies, Padres, Pirates, Reds, Nationals, Dodgers and Marlins) I don’t know about the Blue Jays and Orioles in inter-league yet, but if we keep on playing good, I would have to say even at those stadiums Cubs Nation will make its presence felt. What a great feeling for both the fans and the players!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like McDonald’s…. I”M LOVING IT!

by sue369 on Apr 24, 2008 10:31 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yuppers.

As “Cubs Forever” pointed out that’s due in great part to WGN. Cubs fans have packed a whole hell of a lotta stadiums for years, with Colorado ranking high. Obviously St Louis too, but that one goes both ways cos of the rivalry.

And let’s not forget that Miller Park is essentially Wrigley Deux. I still remember Sosa’s three three-run homer game where he curtain called in Milwaukee. Surreal.

I also love the fact that we are seeing something that I am not used to as a Cubs fan- if an erratic pitcher is not hitting the strike zone, we have no problem taking until the first strike…No use helping them out any, especially late in tight games.

Three things about last night's game

1. Great to see Howry throw so well. He is locating his fastball which he has to do since it is essentially his only pitch. If he continues this bullpen will carry us.

2. We are VERY lucky that pinch running DLee in the 9th did not come back to haunt us. That was not a smart move (IMO).

3. Lou: Please give Marmol a day off. He pitched a perfect 10th, but his velocity and location were not as sharp as normal.

I drank the Cubs Kool-Aid last night.

by gocubsgo22 on Apr 24, 2008 8:52 AM CDT   0 recs

Agreed

I thought the same thing when Pie pinch ran for Lee. Very curious.

With Howry starting to look better, Marmol should be able to have a day off sometime soon. But with Wuertz continuing to struggle, maybe not.

I had stepped away from the game to take a phone call and came back to see Pie PR and almost had a heart attack thinking Lee had gotten hurt.

The breaks

We sure have made the most of our opportunities and found a way to win so far.

We see if every year, (Tigers ‘06, White Sox ‘05, Marlins ‘03 after McKeon arrived) that the teams that find a way to win spread that confidence around the clubhouse and into the seats.

This has been a great start, despite some mediocre SP performances.

beside myself with the way this team is playing right now. The way that EVERYONE is contributing and picking eachother up. This quote from Wood couldn’t be any farther from the truth:

“We’ve been picking each other up all year,” Wood said. “That’s why we are in the position we’re in. It’s somebody different every night. ... I don’t think we could predict the way we were going to be swinging the bats right now. I don’t think we have more than one guy in the lineup hitting under .300.”

I couldn’t watch the game, but followed it via cell phone (mlb gameday), ugh! Onward and upward…go Cubs!

Working on a song

I’m working on a song a takeoff on Willie Mickey and Duke called “Fukudome, Ramirez and D Lee” It’s going to be a combination of the original song and Baseball and the Cubs.

I want the third line to be who is ….... anyway and trying to decide between Mark Prior and Brian Roberts

The opening lines will be

After 100 years waiting for our chance
The North sides ready for a victory dance
Who is ….... anyway?
A new era is being born
The Cardinals and Brewers we will scorn
and down on the corner america’s team
is finally getting on track

It still needs a lot of work. I’m leaning towards Prior for the who is anyway in case we get Roberts at some point in the season.

Obviously there is a lot of baseball left to play, but this is a great place to be in. Not only is the team winning, but the way they are doing it is what is so great IMO. Manufacturing runs when needed, coming from behind, HR, great defense and offense, could go on and on here…

It’s a great time to be a Cubs fan that is for sure!

But I thought besides the end result being our ultimate dream it would be really really cool to have the baseball equivalent of the 1985 Bears season. Just dominant. Kicking butt and taking names.
