9/18/08 vs. Brewers; W 7-6; (92-59)

I'm at work preparing for a meeting with the Regional VP who is in town today. I'm tracking the game on my phone, and the Cubs lead 2-1 when I have to go to the meeting. Rich Harden is in trouble again so I am a little concerned. By the time I get out of the meeting [read more...]

9/15/08 vs. Astros @ Milwaukee; W 6-1; (90-58)

Ninety Wins! For only the fourth time since I have been on the planet, the Chicago Cubs professional baseball team has posted 90 wins. And there are still 14 games to go!

9/2/08 vs. Astros; L 7-9; (85-54)

The Cubs fell again on Tuesday night, but extra base hits wasn't the problem. Alfonso Soriano led off the bottom of the first with a home run to break a three game streak of singles. Chicago went on to add three more home runs and three doubles on their way to fifteen hits.No, offense wasn't the problem in [read more...]

8/26/08 @ Pittsburgh; W 14-9; (82-50)

Maybe we should title this post every101years! Chicago's ninth straight series win is an accomplishment not equalled since 1907! That was a World Series Championship year as well. The 32 games above .500 takes us back to late season 1984 to find a comparable record. This is some kind of team.Watching the game on WGN, I [read more...]

8/24/08 vs Nationals; W 6-1; (80-50)

8/13/08 @ Atlanta; W 8-0; (73-47)

The Cubs took the second game of the double header in easy fashion. Do you know the last time the Cubs swept a double header on the road? Go ahead...say it...1908! Yes, every time we look at the record books, the Cubs seem to be matching events from one hundred years ago.This one started even better than [read more...]

In the opening game of a double header...making up yesterday's washout...the Cubs jumped to an early lead and poured it on.Geovony Soto got things started with a two run double in the second. Jim Edmonds tacked on two more in the third with his 16th home run of the year. That's sixteen in less than 300 at bats [read more...]

7/8/08 vs Reds; W 7-3; (54-36)

The Cubs won two games in a row. That was a long two weeks in the life of a Cub fan.Ryan Dempster, aside from one crazy inning, pitched well and is now 10-0 at Wrigley Field. The fourth inning for him was, to say the least, erratic. He had four walks on the night. All in [read more...]
