Post-Thanksgiving Thanks to the Chicago Cubs
What an incredible time of year this is. The Holiday season has entered full swing and with it the hopes of a better world and a better tomorrow.  America (at least 52.6% of it) eagerly awaits the swearing in of our 44th president  and the belief that, indeed, “Yes we can.” And for baseball...

Cubs Shed Wood
You can call it a farewell to arm. Or the end of an era.  Or you can even categorize it as long overdue. But when Chicago Cubs baseball begins the 2009 season and its 101st without a World Series crown, it will be without the lone remaining member of last century’s team.  On Thursday, the...

Cubs Sink In the West
At least it was painless.  This time (or ever) there were no Bartman’s or Billy Goats or Black Cats to blame. There was only Chicago Cubs baseball and all of its mystifying, stupifying ways.  From general manager Jim Hendry to the last the guy on the bench, each played a role in this latest...

The Chicago Cubs $118,000 Million Bailout
Upon his arrival newly-appointed manager Lou Piniella said one of goals was to change the culture of Chicago Cubs baseball.  He has succeeded. No longer can the Chicago Cubs be called the loveable losers of baseball.  No, they have become the consummate chokes of the game. With back-to-back...

The wait is over.  The Chicago Cubs starting rotation has been set for the upcoming NLDS playoffs. Well, kind of. Sort of.  Maybe. Less than one day after announcing what everyone in Cubdom assumed would be his playoff rotation , Cubs manager Lou Piniella pulled a flip flop that even would make...

Cubs Must Keep Eye on Bouncing Zambrano
Tracking Carlos Zambrano for a season is like playing “follow the bouncing ball” with one eye closed.  It’s easy to see where it starts, but it’s anyone’s guess where it might end up. The situation was no truer than last week when Zambrano went from pitching the game of his major...

Cubs Reach Crown Through the Front Door
The wait is over.  The wait has just begun. With Saturday’s 5-4 win over St. Louis, the Chicago Cubs clinched the Central Division crown for the second consecutive year, and more importantly, earned a spot in the upcoming National League playoffs. And we all know what that means: a shot at the...

Time for Cubs to Tune Up, Tune In or Tune Out
Two-and-a-half weeks and 16 games.  That’s what remains of the 2008 Chicago Cubs baseball regular season. As Cub fans know, all bets are off on whatever happens after that.  Assuming of course, Chicago returns to the post season for the second consecutive year. With a six-game lead over...

Latest Cubs Loss Hard to Swallow
That gulp you heard late Sunday afternoon wasn’t the sound of choking, but it was a collective hard swallow from the entire Chicago Cubs team. In dropping the seventh of their last eight games, the Cubs managed to swap victory for defeat by allowing two walks and committing two errors in the...

Skidmarks Mark Cubs’ Path to Playoffs
You knew it had to happen.  That interminable stretch of baseball where the hitters don’t hit, the pitchers tank and injuries come at the worst of times. When it happens is as predictable as the weather.  One just hopes it happens sooner in a season rather than later. No such luck for Chicago...
