Koyie, Harden Star, But Gregg (And Lou) Fail In Cubs' 4-3 Loss To Brewers
This one, I'm putting on Lou. Yes, there were plenty of player failures in today's 4-3 Cubs loss to the Brewers, but some of the decisions by Lou Piniella today were mind-boggling. He finally le...
Dempster Solid, But Bullpen Fails: Cubs 2, Astros 3
That headline really isn't fair, because the hits that allowed the Astros to beat the Cubs last night 3-2 in 10 innings weren't blasts, they were little dinky things that perhaps on another day would ...
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...
No Words: Cubs 3, Reds 4
There's nothing I could say here that would make you, or me, feel better about today's 4-3 Cub loss to the Reds. Nope. Nothing. Had something all planned out to write about how well Sean Marshall p...
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, an...

The Positive Thinking Recap: Cubs 2, Marlins 3
Because wallowing in the detritus of today's 3-2 Cub loss to the Marlins would probably make us feel a lot worse than we already do, I'm going to try to put a positive spin on events, and give you som...
Bob Howry Must Go: Cubs 2, Marlins 3
There, I said it. I'm sorry, but no matter what his veteran status, how many times management can say, "Well, he'll come around", how many dollars are left on his contract -- how many times can we ...
A Harden Luck Pitcher: Cubs 0, Diamondbacks 2
Well, that was a waste of time. No, not Rich Harden's effort in the Cubs' 2-0 loss to the Diamondbacks, continuing Bank Holding Company Ballpark's reputation as a Cub house of pain -- the Cubs are ...
He Can't Do It All Himself: Cubs 1, Astros 4
Carlos Zambrano homered last night, his second of the year, the fourth one he's hit in his career in Houston, and his 14th lifetime dinger, breaking Fergie Jenkins' club record for career HR by a pitc...
