A Going-Away Present: Cubs 9, Marlins 2
The Cubs beat the Marlins 9-2 this afternoon, winning the series (their sixth straight series win), the season series from the Marlins 4-3, and said goodbye to south Florida for 2008 (Note to Mets and Phillies: please keep the Marlins in third place!) -- and good riddance. I mean, seriously: a...
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...
Reedapalooza: Cubs 8, Pirates 5
Before we celebrate today's exciting 8-5 Cubs comeback win over the Pirates (and yes, I call it "comeback" because they seemed to have it well in hand at 5-2 before a bullpen failure in the 8th inning allowed the Bucs to tie the game), a little more perspective. The win puts the Cubs 22 games...
Gorgeous: Cubs 5, Pirates 1
That title describes both the day's weather -- beautiful, sunny, with the wind blowing in (and that was important, as at least two or three fly balls hit by Pirates today off Ted Lilly would have been on the street on most other days), and the baseball played by the Cubs, in another solidly played...
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 sit here and watch Howry, who at one time was a premier setup man, blow game after game (or take...
One At A Time: Cubs 10, Diamondbacks 6
If you have been reading the "Cubs 2008 Walk Watch" box on the right sidebar since I posted it on May 18 after the Cubs had drawn seven walks and scored all four of their runs in a 4-3 victory via hitters who had walked, yesterday was a significant day. The Cubs drew five walks in their 10-6 win...
Almost Famous: Cubs 2, Rays 3
CLEVELAND -- I missed about half of last night's 3-2 Cubs loss to the Rays, still on the road back to Chicago from Toronto and Cooperstown, but arrived at my hotel room in Cleveland (a convenient halfway stop, where I'm going to check out the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this morning) just in...
A Marquis Performance: Cubs 6, Blue Jays 2
TORONTO -- Whoever this guy is inhabiting Jason Marquis' body and uniform, don't let him give it back to the real Jason Marquis (the one we've been so frustrated with over the last year and a half). This Jason Marquis was outstanding for the second straight start, allowing only one hit through...
Thursday Photos
David couldn't make it to the game yesterday -- he works during the day. However, he sent his "apprentice" (as she put it to me). Here's her work: 1948-style vendor's uniform (those plastic bottles weren't around then, though!) The Lakeview Baseball Club gets into the spirit of the...
Sixty Years On: Cubs 3, Braves 2
LANSING, Michigan -- Traffic was terrible! That's what I get for staying till the end of today's excruciatingly exciting 3-2 Cubs win over the Braves; I didn't hit Lake Shore Drive till 5:30, which meant running into some of the departing ballgame traffic as well as rush hour; that combined with...
