Kosuke Fukudome

9/23/08 @ New York; L 2-6; (95-61)

Just prior to the game I spoke to Gene, godfather to my oldest son Zach. He is a huge Mets fan. The only game I ever saw at Shea Stadium was with him. He was at the game last night. He was asking for my support for the Mets. I told him I couldn't root [read more...]

8/25/08 @ Pittsburgh; W 12-3; (81-50)

What can you say about a 12-3 drubbing of the Pirates? Chicago is 12-4 this season against Pittsburgh and came out swinging Monday night. Soriano, Lee, Edmonds and Fukudome EACH had three hits on the night. Aramis Ramirez hit another three run homer.Chicago chased Jeff Karstens, who had shut out Chicago at Wrigley earlier this year, before [read more...]

Lou says not to worry. In fact, after the team hit so well without batting practice on Sunday, he decided to cancel batting practice Tuesday and Wednesday. Relax, Lou says. It is just mid July.Cub fans don't relax. Our overly optimistic attitude starts on the first day of spring training, but masks in inner fear that the other shoe could [read more...]

All Star Results - Cubs Send Seven to NY

Kosuke made it. So did Ryan Braun. Ken Griffey, Jr ended up being the odd man out as Brewers fans and Cubs fans pushed to get their man in the game.Geovony Soto starts as a rookie, the first time a rookie catcher starts for the NL.Alfonso Soriano was voted a starter as well, but we are yet to find out [read more...]

7/4/08 @ St. Loius; W 2-1; (52-35)

Carlos Zambrano returned to the mound for the first time since June 18th and he did so in impressive fashion. He pitched six innings, striking out five and allowing no runs. He showed signs of the competitive frustration we have come to love in the bottom of the second. Yadier Molina hit a swinging bunt that neither [read more...]

6/18/08 @ Tampa Bay; L 4-5; (45-27)

I am more concerned about Zambrano leaving with shoulder pain than I am the loss. More tomorrow.Zambrano will undergo an MRI and the team will have results on Friday. Cub Fans...cross your fingers. Injuries can be the difference in a World Series Championship or the 100th year of frustration. Soriano is out, Reed Johnson has sore back, [read more...]

6/11/08 vs Braves; W 7-2; (42-24)

First InningRyan Dempster gives up one hit but strikes out two. The Cubs come to the plate and quickly make two outs. Then Derek walks, Aramis singles, and Fukudome goes yard. Two out walks kill you. For Fukudome it is his fifth of the year, fourth at Wrigley. Cubs lead 3-0.Second InningDempster sets the Braves down 1,2,3, highlighted by his [read more...]

6/5/08 @ Dodgers; W 5-4; (39-22)

The last time the Cubs faced the Dodgers, Takashi Saito blew a save in the ninth inning. Tonight he came in with the game tied and was charged with the loss. He gave up an RBI singe to Kosuke Fukudome in the ninth that proved to be the winning run.It didn’t seem like the Cubs were going to [read more...]

5/27/08 vs Dodgers; W 3-1; (31-21)

It wasn't a nice evening, weather wise. Temperature at game time was a brisk 42 degrees with a 19 mph wind. That didn't stop 39,894 of the Cub faithful from showing up to see the Cubs take a two game to none lead on the Dodgers. The Cubs clinched their first series win in over a week [read more...]

5/3/08 @ Cardinals; W 9-3; (18-12)

Shall I continue on my rant that the Cubs are better without Soriano? If so, we'll highlight how in the breakout fourth inning, Chicago sent ten batters to the plate and scored six runs. Soriano was the only Cub to hit twice and he made two outs.On the other hand, in the seventh he doubled home Ted Lilly and in [read more...]
