There's No Place Like Home: Cubs vs. Marlins, Thursday 4/30, 7:05 CT
That is, if it doesn't rain tonight. As of now it looks like there may be enough of a break to get the game in. If they do play, and the Cubs win tonight, they will have a winning record for April (11-10). The last time the Cubs had a losing April was... 2007, when they were 10-14. That year...
This Is The Rain That Never Ends: Cubs vs. Reds, Tuesday 4/21, 7:05 CT
Here is the Chicago area weather radar, for your information and amusement. Let's hope it has less green on it later this evening. Tonight is Carlos Zambrano no-hitter statue giveaway night. Check out this eBay auction for the statues, posted many hours before the gates even opened. Z isn't...
Weather Or Not: Can Baseball Avoid Early-Season Bad Weather?
It's two-thirds of the way through April, yet the weather forecast reads more like mid-March: Today: Rain, possibly mixed with snow, becoming all rain after 1pm. High near 46. Breezy, with a west northwest wind between 15 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%....
Rain Delay Theater: You Caption The Photo
Since there's no game tonight, Ted Lilly gets to stay home and rest up (I presume Lou will just push everyone back and Lilly will start Tuesday night against the Reds). I'm sure all of you remember Lilly knocking over Yadier Molina last September 10 in St. Louis, a critical game in the pennant...
It's A Beautiful Day For A Ballgame -- NOT: Cubs vs. Rockies, Monday 4/13, 1:20 CT
On April 7, 2003, the day in Chicago dawned cold, with a forecast of snow. The Cubs called their scheduled home opener -- which was to have been played on a Monday after a six-game road trip to open the season -- at seven o'clock in the morning. While there may be a break in the rain later...
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 little rainshowers that kept poking at us, reminding us how dreary this series was. If that wasn't bad...
Losing Ugly: Cubs 3, White Sox 10
There's no way to sugarcoat today's 10-3 Cub loss to the White Sox, so I won't. As bad as the Cubs looked in yesterday's loss to Baltimore, they just about matched it in looking bad against the White Sox this afternoon -- their first loss to the Sox after six straight wins dating back to a...
Lessons Learned
And just what did we learn today from today's 6-4 Cub win over the Diamondbacks, their second come-from-behind win in a row, completing a sweep over a team that came into Chicago with the best record in baseball? First, mea culpa to everyone I was talking to in the game thread saying "CALL THIS...
