The Astros Are The New Pirates: Cubs vs. Astros, Friday 5/15, 1:20 CT
NOTE: This is auto-posting at 11:30 am CDT while I am busy at work. If the game has been postponed by 12:30 I will post a rainout thread at that time. Certain people at this site who have too much time on their hands spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what might have happened if...
Cubs Win 4-2, And That Was Just The Home Run Count; Cubs Also Win Game 6-4
If you are younger than, say, about 40 and have often wondered what some of those wacky Wrigley Field games in the 1970's were like when the score was 18-12, last night's entertaining 6-4, rain-shortened Cubs win over the Padres gave you a little taste of it. Sure, neither team scored ten runs,...
Rematch: Derrek Lee vs. Chris Young - Cubs vs. Padres, Wednesday 5/13, 7:05 CT
Nothing seems to get Derrek Lee going these days. He struck out three times last night, and again seemed unable to turn on pitches. Obviously, I'm not a doctor nor a batting coach, but it would seem logical that someone with the neck and back problems that D-Lee has might be better served with some...
Yes, Ryan Theriot Really Did Hit A Grand Slam On Friday: Cubs 8, Marlins 6
Just before Alfonso Soriano came to bat with the Cubs trailing 5-2 and runners on first and third with two out in the sixth, BCB reader Bartlett Bob, sitting with us today, said, "I'm ready to catch his home run." To which Mike responded: "He'll get on and then you can catch Theriot's grand...
All Your Base Are Clogged With Cubs: Cubs 7, Reds 2
One of the things that used to drive us most crazy about Dusty Baker's tenure as Cubs manager was his attitude toward the "innocent" (as he once put it during an ESPN broadcast he was commenting on) base on balls. While he'd have his hitters hacking away, he'd also have his pitchers nibble...
White Sox Sweep First DoubleHeader Since '01
After the Rain Comes a Rainbow Record rain fell on Chicago Saturday, postponing the White Sox scheduled doubleheader with the Tigers. Rain fell all afternoon and night on Friday, postponing that scheduled game to after the end of the "regular season." Rain fell all morning and into the early...
White Sox Might Lose Entire Weekend to Weather
At 6:35, the tarp was off the field. Roger Bossard was being interviewed on Comcast, saying they were going to play through the wet weather. But when they came back from commercial just after 7, the tarp was back while Hawk and DJ talked of double headers and rain outs. By 8 PM, they had called the...
Rainout tonight?
Jeff Wilson says that it looks like there's a good chance tonight's game will be rained out. Detroit and Texas are both off on Thursday, and this would let the Rangers bump Scott Feldman back to a Saturday start, as they continue to try to limit his workload.
In Rainbows: Cubs 7, White Sox 1
Photos by Al Photo by Kasey Ignarski After it rained before the game for the third day in a row (delaying the start about ten minutes), a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky to the east of the ballpark; both kaseyi and I took photos, from two different angles -- and the second...
Not Meant To Be: Hall Of Fame Game Rained Out
COOPERSTOWN, New York -- While I was standing under the overhang of a souvenir tent trying to stay dry during one of the drenching downpours that hit upstate New York this afternoon and cancelled what's supposed to be the final Hall of Fame Game, I heard one of the T-shirt vendors say, "The...
