Chicago Cubs
Mommy, I Need a Band-Aid
Most of us work pretty hard to earn a living. A lot of us use our hands every day, punch in and out and break a sweat. And sometimes we get blisters. Do we call in sick? Do we use 15 days of vacation? No.The Chicago Cubs moved closer Kerry Wood to the …

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 […]
Cubs fans are what’s wrong with Arizona sports
I’m not quite sure what city I live in. Last time I checked it’s 110 degrees outside without any humidity so it must not be Chicago.
I wish I could tell that by going to Chase Field this week, listening to the radio or reading the local newspapers.
The Diamondbacks three game series versus the Cubs today, […]
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

No, not the second half of the season. But a reason to believe.

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 Counterpunch
Longing for the days where Mark Prior and Kerry Wood were engaged in a tag team, cage match with the disabled list, the Cubs agreed to terms with the Athletics on a six-player deal on Tuesday that included oft-injured righty Rich Harden.
Harden’s numbers this season are precisely what people figured he’d produce if he was […]
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 […]
Cubbies Have a Harden

Selection Sunday: That’s Our Funday
With 25 newcomers to the All-Star game this season, it should be a fun show July 15th at Yankee Stadium. But maybe not as fun as this show, if you’re down for tight-rolling your jeans, ratting your bangs, and pulling on some snug pleather pants. (aweso…

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 […]

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.

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 […]
Sweet Lou Gets Swept
Didn’t the Chicago Cubs just beat some South-Side ass like a week ago?Revenge is sweet, as they say. But not as sweet as Lou Piniella, who was tossed from Sunday’s 5-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Surprisingly, this marks Lou’s first ejection of the …
