5 Reasons Cubs’ Big Z Would Make a Good Psychologist
It’s no secret Carlos Zambrano is an excitable guy. Anyone who’s followed Chicago Cubs baseball over the past seven seasons knows the staff ace is as likely to pout over a base on balls as he is to square with a teammate in a dugout brawl.
Zambrano’s emotional antics have run the gamut from comical […]
Sizzle Missing from Chicago Cubs’ Bats
Chicago Cubs baseball began the “second half” of its 2008 season the same way it started and ended its first half - by losing.
In dropping a 2-1 decision to Houston, the Cubs - with the exception of pitcher Ted Lilly - looked like they rather would have been anywhere else but in the Astros’ crappy […]
To Soar or Slide; Cubs Fate Awaits
This is what Chicago Cubs baseball fans have been waiting for.
No, not the second half of the season. But a reason to believe.
Hope has always marched along side of the Chicago Cub faithful. From the first pitch of spring, through the Wrigley Field gates and with the exit of each season, Cubdom […]
Cubs’ Rich Hard On Giants
Enjoy the two series with the crosstown White Sox. Relish last weekend’s wins over Central Division rival St. Louis.
But savor yesterday’s 8-7 victory of the San Francisco Giants. Let it swirl in Cubdom’s collective consciousness. Breathe in the sweet aroma of success. No matter how harrowing it turned out to be.
For […]
Cubs Get Rich
So much for suspense. Anyone wondering whether Chicago Cubs baseball would land a top-notch player before the July 31st trade deadline can take a breath.
Make that a deep breath.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the Cubs added a coveted piece to their run at the post-season when they obtained right-handed pitcher Rich Harden as part of a […]
Of Cubs, Cardinals, Edmonds and LollaLaRusa
Anyone who’s had the privilege of catching any of this weekend’s Chicago Cubs-St. Louis Cardinals series has been privy to a mid-season treat. We’ve seen the comeback of Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano, a couple of gnarly nailbiters and enough high drama to send a heart patient into cardiac arrest.
Can someone pass the nitroglycerin?
Then […]
Cubs Seek to Commit Cardinal Wins
Today is the first day of the beginning the Chicago Cubs baseball survival.
Not.
As the Cubs begin tonight’s weekend series with the rival St. Louis Cardinals, there’s an abundance of baseball pundits that would like Cubdom to believe that the fate of our favorite team’s season hangs in the balance of the next three games.
How […]
Cubs Mid-Season Mettle Getting Tested
“When things go bad, they really go bad.” - Ron Santo, former Chicago Cub and current WGN-Radio broadcaster
Ron Santo, Chicago’s other Mr. Cub, could easily have been talking about my food spoilage after a 72-hour power outage. Instead, Santo’s comments were made during the Cubs agonizing weekend series with the White Sox.
As the […]
Orioles Give Cubs Homestand Hype the Bird
With one fell swoop and a few laid eggs, the Chicago Cubs mighty homestand went to the birds.
Both literally, and figuratively.
Today’s 11-4 drubbing by Baltimore officially added an exclamation point that ended the Cubs recent Wrigley Field success. Another way to put it would be, Chicago Cubs baseball got the bird - Orioles style.
Except […]
ChiSox Sweep Takes Sting From Cubs Road Woes
All it took was a little home-cookin’, Friendly Confines style, for Chicago Cubs baseball to regain its footing as the National League’s dominant team.
That’s right. I just used dominant team and Chicago Cubs in the same sentence.
And meant it.
Following a Tampa Bay Devil Rays sweep and one day removed from picking the stingers out […]
Karma Bug Bites Cubs
I believe in Karma. Both the good and the bad varieties.
Right now Chicago Cubs baseball is getting a dose of the bad.
Since leaving Toronto last Sunday with a 7-4 win our Cuddly Cubs have become the bad news bearers. All within the span of a short - or depending on how you look […]
Baseball Gods Talk; Cubs, Padres Walk
Maybe the Baseball Gods were telling us something when yesterday’s Hall of Fame exhibition game was rained out.
Maybe they were saying the time when players gave openly and willingly back to the sport was a thing of the past and to allow this generation of baseball players to step foot on this sacred ground would […]
Cubs Continue Quest to Quiet Ghosts
There’s few, if any of us in Cubdom who remember the last time the Chicago Cubs raised this much ruckus in June. Or May or April for that matter.
But that isn’t stopping the 2008 version from chasing, and catching, some ghosts of Cub baseball past. Even if decades - and sometimes centuries […]
The Good News, Bad News Cubs
For Chicago Cub baseball fans, the first week of June finds its favorite team with the best record in baseball.
That’s the good news. Unfortunately, that’s the bad news as well.
The Cubs, winners of 10 of their last 13, currently sit atop the major league baseball heap with a 39-24 record and a .619 winning […]
Cubs Take One from the Road
Whether baseball is a microcosm of life or visa versa is one of those questions I’ve wrestled with since joining the ranks of Cubdom many years ago. I still haven’t discovered the answer, but I suspect I’ll probably find out sooner than I like.
One thing I am certain of, like life, Chicago Cubs baseball […]
Just found the MLB Hub site, and happy to see that my favorite blog, Shea Nation, is the Mets' site ...
