Outnumbered: Cubs 7, Brewers 2
MILWAUKEE -- We had 'em outnumbered at Miller Park last night, or nearly so. At least it felt as if there were more Cubs fans than Brewers fans last night during the Cubs' 7-2 win over Milwaukee, the team's fourth victory in a row, moving their division lead back to a more comfortable four games...
You (Almost) Complete Me: Cubs 9, Astros 0
Ryan Dempster was just outstanding today, and he needed to be... this is exactly the sort of thing that winning teams do, have one guy pick the other up when the team is struggling, and Dempster threw 73 strikes out of 104 pitches and I thought Lou should have let him finish. The Cubs haven't had a...

While we are waiting for Late Night With The Cubs, here are some of the key moments from yesterday's game. Alfonso Soriano drops Todd Helton's first-inning fly ball... ... but throws to second... Helton says he's safe! ... but 2B umpire Paul Nauert says, "Nope! You're...
Indiana Lee And The Kingdom Of Homers: Cubs 3, Astros 5
I thought the Cubs were off today, but according to the schedule above, they're playing Indiana Jones. (And the way things have gone the last two days, he'd probably hit a three-run homer off Jose Ascanio.) Last night, it was the intrepid Carlos (Let's Call Him Indiana Just For The Heck Of...
The Complaint Department Is Closed
I suppose I shouldn't have any complaints after today's come-from-behind Cubs win, 7-2 over the Diamondbacks, but indeed, there are some things that need to be said before I recap all the good stuff: Ryan Dempster needs, needs, absolutely needs to throw more strikes. Even before he walked two...
10,001 Must Wait Until Tomorrow
Those flags will fly above the Wrigley Field scoreboard for the rest of the Cubs' road trip; after the team returns, the flags will be autographed by the entire team and be auctioned off at cubs.com. That's the good news from today. The bad news, of course, is that SBN was down all day...

"It was a tough first 10,000 wins," [Ryan] Theriot said with a chuckle. "I hope the next 10,000 are easier." We are in uncharted territory. Not just for the 10,000th win in franchise history -- a 7-6, come-from-behind, extra-inning thriller over the Rockies -- but for the 15-6 start which is...
Sweep!
Remember yesterday when I told you the Pirates were a bad team? And some of you disagreed with me? The Pirates are a really, really, really bad team. The Cubs smacked Pirates pitching around again today for 13 runs (this time on 18 hits and seven walks) and completed the series sweep with a 13-6...
A Marquis Performance
What a strange day. It was cloudy. Then drizzling. Then sunny, on a day the forecasters swore up and down the sun would make no appearances. Then it started to rain, very lightly -- which made the three twentysomethings in front of us very happy, even when I told them (kidding!) that it would...
We Interrupt Your Afternoon To Bring You This Bad Baseball Game
At 12:30 this afternoon, I sat down to watch today's game, enjoying watching the sunshine in Pittsburgh and figuring that by 3:00 or so, I'd be able to go run the errands and do the rest of the things I needed to do today. Four hours and forty-seven minutes later, I finally went out to quickly...
