"I Don't Believe What I Just Saw!" -- Cubs 7, Brewers 6
(with all credit to the late Jack Buck for the headline) Walking down Sheffield back to my car, I ran into a man wearing a BCB shirt -- sorry, I didn't even get your name -- and we shook hands and hardly even knew what to say about the Cubs' incredible, dramatic, awesome, breathtaking,...
Baseball 101: Cubs 3, Cardinals 4
Lou Piniella got outmanaged last night, and I'm not real happy about that. Answer this question: why would you, in the eighth inning of a tie game, have one of your best RBI men bunt? Maybe this question should be asked first, and don't look it up before you answer: how many sacrifice bunts did...
Hello Soto: Cubs 14, Pirates 9
Well, that was about the most whacked-out game I've seen in quite some time. Consider: Carlos Zambrano started the game by throwing a wild pitch on strike three, walked four, allowed eight hits, made a throwing error, smashed a couple of Gatorade coolers, and didn't last long enough to...
Success: Cubs 6, Cardinals 2
The Cubs finished up yet another successful homestand with a convincing 6-2 win over the Cardinals last night; they won their fourth straight series and starting with the last game of the Marlins series, when they came from behind to win 9-6, they are 11-3. It likely won't happen this way, but...
Bob Howry Must Go: Cubs 2, Marlins 3
There, I said it. I'm sorry, but no matter what his veteran status, how many times management can say, "Well, he'll come around", how many dollars are left on his contract -- how many times can we sit here and watch Howry, who at one time was a premier setup man, blow game after game (or take...
A Harden Day's Night: Cubs 7, Reds 3
The Cubs beat the Reds 7-3 last night, but I know all any Cubs fan wants to discuss this morning is the Cubs' acquisition of Rich Harden and Chad Gaudin from the A's, which was announced a couple of hours before game time. So. What do I think? I haven't changed my mind. There's no doubt that...
Hey Now, You're An All-Star: Cubs 7, Cardinals 1
In the middle of the season, you can't really point to any single game as "must-win" (though I have been guilty of saying that in the past)... because there are plenty of games remaining, the Cubs are in first place, and they come home (at last!) for a homestand beginning Tuesday, after playing 16...
Sweet! -- Cubs 2, Cardinals 1
It was really considerate of the city of St. Louis to shoot off fireworks for the Cubs' 2-1 win over the Cardinals, wasn't it? Just as Kerry Wood was finishing off the victory, the grand finale of the downtown St. Louis 4th of July fireworks show splashed across the sky -- you could hear the...
A Team Effort: Cubs 7, Orioles 4
This recap is going to be pretty short because: a) my computer kept crashing this morning any time I opened IE, so I finally gave up and am using Firefox for this; b) there's going to be another game thread up in a couple of hours for the day game today; and c) the Cubs made quick work of the...
