Cubs Outscore Entire Road Trip, Lose To Pirates Anyway, 10-8
All the on-field personnel last night, including the umpires, wore red caps with the team logos in stars-and-stripes. This was done to honor those who have served and are serving our country on Memorial Day. It had the effect of making all teams look like the Nationals, and the Cubs decided to...
Lee Homers, But Cubs Lose Again 3-1. Good News: Randy Wells Is For Real
I'm sure you've had enough of talking about the Cubs' nonexistent offense, and when I say "nonexistent", it's almost gotten to an existential plane: the Cubs were wearing rally caps in the dugout in the second inning when Derrek Lee hit a 420-foot home run to give the Cubs their first lead since...
Maybe San Diego Will Wake Up The Cubs Bats; Offense Again Asleep In 3-1 Loss To Cardinals
The Cubs really, really, really, really miss Aramis Ramirez. It's kind of an insidious slide. It wasn't noticed too much during the five-game winning streak a week ago -- but on the other hand, might they have won the game against the Astros last Sunday with Aramis in the lineup and at third...
Return Of The Walking Wounded: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks, Tuesday 4/28, 8:40 CT
Milton Bradley will be back tonight -- and hopefully for more than one game before he goes out again. Aramis Ramirez won't start but hopefully will be available to PH (see the full lineup below), and Carlos Marmol will be available for setup duty. I promised this at 6 pm CDT; it's up a little...
How To Play With A 22-Man Roster: Cubs vs. Cardinals, Sunday 4/26, 1:15 CT
The Cardinals have started their home season 10-2 -- their best home start since 1968, when they started 10-1 at home and won the NL pennant. Enough of that. Bruce Miles mentioned possible replacements if the Cubs have to DL anyone, especially important given the fact that Aramis Ramirez,...
Back To The Drawing Board: Cubs 2, Cardinals 8
When even the Fox-TV color commentator notices that things aren't working, maybe Cubs management ought to sit up and take notice. Eric Karros was a standup guy when he played for the Cubs, and he still is a standup guy, and doesn't mince words. During today's telecast he did so in a nice enough...
Falling Slowly: Cubs 2, Reds 10
