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! They maintain an eight game lead on Milwaukee heading into a three game set with the Brewers at Wrigley. That will be the Brewers [read more...]

9/14/08 vs. Houston @ Milwaukee; W 5-0; (89-58)

The first no hitter since 1972! Big Z is back in a big way! These headlines steal the thunder...or add to Cecil Cooper's argument...that Milwaukee is not neutral. Combined with a double header sweep of the Brewers by the Phillies, Chicago easily had it's best day in two weeks.The game started with Alfonso Soriano hitting a lead [read more...]

9/3/08 vs Astros; L 0-4; (85-55)

Chicago fans are saddened by the longest losing streak since June 2, 2007 for their beloved Cubs. One night after an offensive explosion, Chicago managed only six singles against Astros starter Randy Wolf. Wolf ended up throwing a complete game shutout against Chicago. The loss prevented Chicago from gaining ground on Milwaukee, who lost earlier in the [read more...]

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...]

9/1/08 vs. Houston; L 0-3; (85-53)

Four hits...four singles. That makes three days of singles. 26 of them to be exact. Now I know Chicago can win with small ball, we watched it happen just last week. I know Lou says this team is built around pitching and defense. All that said...you can't win if you don't score.Today may have had [read more...]

8/6/08 vs. Astros; W 11-4; (69-46)

Mark DeRosa has definitely gotten back on track. An RBI double in the second and a two out grand slam in the third inning provided all the offense Chicago needed today to take the game, and the series, from Houston. For good measure, Alfonso Soriano added a three run homer, his second in two days. He has certainly been [read more...]

8/5/08 vs Astros; W 11-7; (68-46)

Weather wasn't an issue today, but that didn't make for a boring game. The Cubs jumped on the Astros early and sprinted to a 6-1 lead after just two innings. With Rich Harden on the mound, that is a sure victory...at least that's what I thought. The Astros managed six runs to take a 7-6 lead by [read more...]

8/4/08 vs Astros; L 0-2; (67-46)

Ryan Dempster didn't pitch poorly, but allowed two runs in five innings. Then the rain hit. A nearly three hour delay ensued. That took it's toll on both teams as they only managed one combined hit the rest of the way. Another delay in the eighth ended the game early.The Cubs were shutout for the sixth [read more...]

7/20/08 @ Houston; W 9-0; (58-40)

Ryan Dempster picked up his first road win in almost two years. He also picked up the spirits of the entire Cubs fan base. How quickly we can forget we won the last three series prior to the All Star break. Instead we were focused on losing our last game before the All Star break and the [read more...]

5/21/08 @ Astros; L 3-5; (28-19)

The Cubs fell to the Astros for the second day in a row, losing the series in the process. This is the seventh time this season the Cubs have lost back to back games. It hadn’t happened in over two weeks, as the Cubs had won series with the Diamondbacks, Padres, and Pirates. With the Red Sox [read more...]
