Here Come the Reds! (Really?) posted by Street Reporter on 05/08/2008
The Reds went all homer-happy over the Cubs last night, and Edinson Volquez twirled a gem on the mound, leading the Reds commentators and Steve Phillips on ESPN to go all gushy on them, proclaiming the future is now and they're gonna take the NL Central. Is this the case?I was raised a Reds fan, and have a soft spot fo... [more]
Floyd Flirts With a No-No Again posted by richard Kagan on 05/07/2008
Geez, Gavin Floyd went into the 9th inning needing just two outs to record a no-hitter but Joe Maurer hit a shot to the outfield that went for a double and suddenly, it was over. For this game. But, this is the second time, that Floyd has come close to pitching a "game to remember." Against Detroit, about 3 weeks ag... [more]
Cubs lose 5-3 after having bases-loaded with 1 out posted by Ryan Neiman on 05/06/2008
After another game where stranding base-runners has become a common theme, what Lou Piniella had the right words to sum up the Cubs recent slide, "Like I told my guys after the ballgame, make the other team beat you, don't just give it to them," Cubs m... [more]

Rough Week for Cubs spells Rough Road Ahead posted by Ryan Neiman on 05/05/2008
After the Cubs had one of their best records in April in 1969, the start of May is starting to resemble the collapse towards of the season in 1969. In one their toughest weeks this season, nothing looked pretty as the Cubs just won two out six against there NL Central rivals the Brewers and the Cardinals. In a wee... [more]
Why not give Gallagher a start? posted by Andy Schmidt on 05/04/2008
With the demotion of Rich Hill to Iowa, Sean Gallagher has returned to the North Side and with his return, I don't see any reason not to just put it in the starting rotation. He pitched well last season out of the bullpen and in the starting rotation. Just leave Lieber and Marshall in their current roles and let it ride I fig... [more]
What I'm here to do posted by DCandVTSportsGuy on 05/03/2008
Congratulations! You've stumbled upon my new blog. Since I'm a student and have very little credibility when it comes to sports (just a foaming-at-the-mouth passion), you're just going to have to trust me at first.I'll be blogging mostly about the Nats, Caps and Redskins. I will also claim the Cubs as my own, as they w... [more]
The Night of the Blowouts posted by Street Reporter on 05/01/2008
For many baseball fans, last night wasn't a great night to watch baseball, as blowouts predominated early on. But, because of the beautiful game that is baseball, only three of them continued in their lopsided fashion, with the best of them highlighted by a homer from Micah Owings, the best-hitting pitcher in baseball, ...

Offensive explosion posted by Andy Schmidt on 05/01/2008
I took great joy watching last night's Cubs game seeing the Cubbies put up a 19 spot on the Brew Crew. Most runs that the team has scored in 7 years and I was rooting for 20 by late in that 8th inning. I'm loving the fact that they can score in bunches and Soriano returns this afternoon as the Cubs look to win this series. I ... [more]
A lost weekend in D.C. posted by Andy Schmidt on 04/28/2008
When you're hot, you're not and when you're not, you're not. That phrase was perfect for the Cubs this past weekend playing in Washington. They seemed like they had lost some of the power that had got them to the top of the NL Central. Now comes a crucial six-game stretch with the Brewers and Cardinals. It is early but it is big...

Chi-town baseball lookin' good...for now. posted by richard Kagan on 04/28/2008
It's been a long time since both the White Sox and Cubs led their divisions and their fast starts are the reason why. The White Sox are the more surprising team of the two. Joe Crede has shown he regained his swing following his back surgery. A homer here, a Grand-Slam there...way to go Joe!Gavin Floyd is showing ... [more]
Can't win them all posted by Andy Schmidt on 04/24/2008
Today was a bit of a letdown for me watching the Cubs lose in Colorado. After how great they have played over the last couple weeks, you almost expect them to win every time they go on the field these days. Should Theriot caught the ball from Cedeno? Sure. Did Fukudome look bad against Fuentes? Yeah. What more can we expect out ... [more]
A much better start posted by Andy Schmidt on 04/20/2008
This season's Cubs team has begun this 2008 campaign with a 11-6 record, already better than last year's 10-win April. As action gets underway today, the Cubs are a half-game out of first place behind the Cardinals. It will be interesting to see how long the Cardinals can make this start last. How long can Cub castoff Todd Welle... [more]
Rollin' along posted by Andy Schmidt on 04/17/2008
This has been a good time to be a Cubs fan with the club winning 8 of the last 10 games. Last night's offensive outburst in the first 3 innings were great to see along with Zambrano's effort with the wind howling out. Many people may believe that the Soriano injury is going to derail this team. I think this may allow the team to... [more]
Soriano Injures Himself Hopping posted by Nick Drafke on 04/16/2008
I never liked the "Soriano Hop". I never thought it would actually cause him to hurt himself though. I am not a Soriano fan. He's an absolute offensive mammoth when he gets hot, but when he's not hot, he has very little value to this team. And he is a terrible leadoff hitter when he's cold. His on-base is .230. Let'...
