Game Story: Dream Streak Ends At 11...
The offense continued its assault on American League pitching, but it wasn't enough on Tuesday night to overcome the defense's blunders as the Red Sox fell to the Indians 9-8. Brad Penny gave up 7 runs in his 2.2 innings of work, however only 4 were earned. Errors by Mike Lowell and Julio Lugo...
Why Are The Washington Nationals Pursuing Milton Bradley?
Former Montreal Expos' draft pick and former enfant terrible, free agent outfielder Milton Bradley, is apparently drawing interest from the Washington Nationals, as FOXSports.com writer Ken Rosenthal briefly mentioned in a 12/23/08 article entitled, "Angels standing pat on offense...for now", where...
Banishing Echoes: Cubs 3, Reds 2
On September 30, 2004, as the wild-card contending Cubs were melting down, they had to, absolutely had to, beat the Reds at Wrigley Field to keep any sort of postseason hopes alive (after having lost the previous day, they had fallen half a game behind the Astros). And in the twelfth inning,...
Pitching? Check. Fielding? Check. Hitting? Not So Much: Cubs 1, Reds 2
This recap of the Cubs' 2-1 loss to the Reds will be almost as short as the game itself (which ran a snappy two hours and twenty-eight minutes). Ted Lilly took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and he appeared to have no-hitter stuff; he had walked only one up to that point, and Mark DeRosa had...
Sixty-Nine: Cubs 11, Astros 4
What, you thought that was some kind of sex reference? On this site? Sixty-nine is, of course, the number of wins the Cubs have after today's outstanding 11-4 Cubs win over the Astros, the last of twenty games in twenty consecutive days following the All-Star break, during which the Cubs went...
Mugged: Cubs 11, Astros 7
I shouldn't complain, not after the Cubs win again, 11-7 over the Astros on a muggy afternoon that had hints of yesterday's rainfall even while the sun was shining most of the day. But I'm going to anyway, just for a moment. What were Lou and Bob Howry thinking? With two out, a runner on second...
Finally! - Cubs 6, Marlins 3
Before last night, the last time the Cubs beat the Florida Marlins -- anywhere -- was April 25, 2006, when that sorry team was actually five games over .500 at 12-7 and Michael Restovich (remember him?) pinch-hit for starting pitcher Sean Marshall. We have come a long way, both figuratively and...
Some Days... Cubs 2, Giants 4
If the Cubs' attempted comeback in the 9th inning today -- they did manage to get the tying run on base with one out -- had been successful, I'd have thrown up my hands in amazement, and there's already been a sufficient amount of amazement in this so-far-wonderful season. They didn't, and you...
That's More Like It: Cubs 9, Giants 2
It's West Coast week -- for four days, at least -- and that means the rest of you are going to have to fill in the blanks, because I had to go to sleep (sure, I'll take one for the team, but not when I have to get up at 3 am for work) after the third inning last night. Had a good feeling,...
