The Day After: Cubs 5, Cardinals 1
On yet another picturebook gorgeous end-of-summer (the equinox passes tomorrow, putting us astronomically as well as meterologically into autumn) afternoon, the Iowa Cubs defeated the Cardinals 5-1, winning yet another series and reducing their magic number (yes, there's still one left) for...
Four: Cubs 5, Brewers 4
We stand on the cusp of history every single night, or so it seems. Last night's thrilling 5-4 Cubs win over the Brewers, reducing the magic number to four (thanks to the Marlins' 5-1 win over the Astros, the quirky little possibility that the Cubs could sweep Milwaukee yet not clinch the Central...
The Correct Response: Cubs 9, Nationals 2
Once again, leave it to Mike to sum up today's 9-2 Cubs win over the Nationals with a pithy phrase, the one you see as the title of this post. That's exactly the right statement, and the Cubs made one after their worst loss of the year -- came right back and blew out the Nats, in front of a...
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...
Success: Cubs 6, Cardinals 2
The Cubs finished up yet another successful homestand with a convincing 6-2 win over the Cardinals last night; they won their fourth straight series and starting with the last game of the Marlins series, when they came from behind to win 9-6, they are 11-3. It likely won't happen this way, but...
Thunder & Lightning: Cubs 0, Astros 2
It was 70's night last night at Wrigley Field... "Elvis" was seen in the building, attempting to slide across the tarp during the rain delay. via chicagosports.chicagotribune.com Ever since the deluge that washed out the first scheduled night game at Wrigley Field on August 8, 1988,...
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...
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...
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...
Some Days... Cubs 2, Giants 4
If the Cubs' attempted comeback in the 9th inning today -- they did manage to get the tying run on base with one out -- had been successful, I'd have thrown up my hands in amazement, and there's already been a sufficient amount of amazement in this so-far-wonderful season. They didn't, and you...
