Pitching, Defense Gets Cubs By Cards

Hang on, let me put my diphibulator away...



Another game in which that bats just really could not get going. The Cubs score three runs but two are unearned. In the top of the fifth the scoring went as so; walk, error, walk, walk, fielder's choice. Two runs without the benefit of a hit. The good news is that most of the Cubs are being patient and taking pitches, something that can be difficult when you are struggling to score runs.



In the next inning the Cubs showed some… Continue

Cubs Barely Survive

The good news is we got a win, the bad news is; only because the Cards gave it to us.



More good and bad; the good is Lilly pitched a great game. After getting rocked in two innings during his last outing, Ted Lilly did exactly what the Cubs needed him to do, go deep into the game with few runs. Lilly ended up going eight innings and only giving up one.



Which brings me to bad number one, what was Lou thinking taking Ted out with only 90 pitches and bringing in Wood who blew… Continue

Brewers Torres Talking Smack About Cubs

On Monday night after blowing a save against the Reds, the Brewers Torres was talking smack about the Cubs, Brewers race. Adam McCalvy's article for MLB.com quotes Torres as saying, "And the Chicago Cubs, they need to worry, because we're going to get them. That's all I can say."



Now, the Italian in me wants to start betting a million dollars that the… Continue

Reds Do For Cubs What Cubs Can't

Looks like the Brewers don't want to win the division either.

The Brewers lead 1-0 early then the Reds went up 4-1 in the 6th. The Brewers answered back with three in the 7th to tie it. That's the way it stood until, after plenty of chances, the Red's finally punch one across the plate to go up 5-4 in the 11th. The Brewers did nothing in the bottom of the 11th so the Reds won 5-4.

With the loss the Brewers stay 4.5 behind the Cubs.

Maybe the Astros will take it!

Cubs In Big Trouble

I'm trying to say positive about this season and I definitely won't blame any curse or voodoo BUT, this team is in trouble. They have lost eight of their last nine and I don't see a glimmer of the team that started the second half on fire.



The pitching has been steady but with the little run support they have gotten every mistake is being amplified. This game should have been won which makes two games in a row that the Cubs have straight out blown. This is not what a team should be… Continue
