All A-Loney: Cubs Lose Game 1 To Dodgers 7-2
Here's the very first thing I want all of you to remember this morning, as fans: do NOT give in to the temptation to think, "Here we go again!" There are two things that truly bothered me about the...
Playoff Tuneup: Cubs 9, Mets 6
Even when Z pitches poorly, they win. Even when middle relief fails, they win. I LOVE THIS TEAM! Nearly four hours after last night's game began, Derrek Lee dinked a little popup down the rig...
Marshalling Our Resources: Cubs 2, Mets 6
Far be it from me to look to John Kruk as the fount of all baseball wisdom, but if you saw Baseball Tonight last night, you'll have to admit he had a point. They ran the highlight of the bizarre pl...
Bleah: Cubs 6, Cardinals 12
Well, the weather was nice. That's about all there is to say about today's goofy 12-6 Cubs loss to the Cardinals. If you split the game into two halves, the Cubs lost the first 4 1/2 11-0, but won ...
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 qu...
You Can't Win 'Em All: Cubs 1, Marlins 2
Yes, I know. That's a cliché. But it really is true. Look, for example, at the sidebar box that has the best starts for Cub teams since 1900. Even the 1906 Cubs -- who still hold the ML record for wi...
Gorgeous: Cubs 5, Pirates 1
That title describes both the day's weather -- beautiful, sunny, with the wind blowing in (and that was important, as at least two or three fly balls hit by Pirates today off Ted Lilly would have been...
The Marshall Plan: Cubs 8, Giants 7
Man, where do I even start? Here: if using Carlos Marmol in the 9th inning today was Lou's way of "experimenting" with him, trying him out, letting him throw in a game the Cubs seemed to have well ...
Reds Dig The Long Ball: Cubs 7, Reds 12
Maybe it's my fault. I did, after all, sort of predict this in the pregame thread when I said: Let's be realistic. It's going to be warm and somewhat humid today with the wind blowing out. Lilly a...
A Lost Weekend: Cubs 1, White Sox 5
I woke up Sunday after a hot, sticky, stormy day Saturday and found myself transported into November. That's what it felt like on the South Side of Chicago last night -- cold, windy, with nasty lit...
