This morning, walking to work, I was reading
the MLB headlines – my regular morning routine. Nothing makes
a 40 minute walk to work fly by like reading about who came
through in the clutch last night and who
fell…

We’re a Major League Baseball team.

Everybody: Hello. Do you know us?
[Everybody, except Zambrano, puts on their caps] Everybody:
We’re a Major League Baseball team. Lou Piniella: But since
we haven’t won a pennant in over 100 years, nobody recognizes
us – not even…
One List. Two Lou’s. Three Acceptable Options.

I’ve often wondered what my Mom and Dad did to pass the time during the day at work. My stepfather and stepmother were a plumber and teacher respectively so they never really had the 9-5 challenge of staying awake and…
Opening at Home With a W

Incredible game today as we defeated the Brewers 9-5. Great start to our home schedule and the home crowd was loving the turn around the team showed at home as opposed to the flop our opening road trip turned into…
2010 Cub Concerns: Head, Shoulders, Knees and ‘Tos
Posted: March 1, 2010 in DailiesTags: 2010, Chicago Cubs, Cubs, Dempster, Hendry, Lilly, Marmol, Piniella, Soriano, Soto, Zambrano
Head Carlos Zambrano and Carlos Marmol. A couple of Carloses (Carlosi?) that we need to worry about in the head category, the mental game. Zambrano had an awful ’09 by Big Z standards. Every from Hendry down to Ronnie Woo…
Uno!

And not in a good “family game night” kind of way either. Cubs lost to the Giants today and the Rockies defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. At the start of the day our elimination number was holding strong at three….
Straight out of Central Casting

’07.’08.Oh no. Two years of division titles in the Central for the Cubs and that is where it stops. Cubs are hot lately but it’s too little, too late if you were hoping for a three-peat. Cardinals beat the Rockies…
Is This too Matchy-Matchy?
Posted: September 3, 2009 in DailiesTags: 2009, Chicago Cubs, Cubs, Dempster, Lilly, playoffs, wild card, Zambrano
YES.We have no shot at making up ground in any race if we decide to match those above us win for win, loss for loss. The Cubs just wrapped up a pathetic 5-0 shutout effort against the crosstown Chicago White…
Marmol Aida

I don’t know that it came down from Mitch and Murray, maybe just Hendry…but finally Piniella took a stand and made the switch to Marmol as the Cubs’ closer. Grabow and Guzman were considered but this round goes to Marmol. …

Hey, hey there Cubs fans, it’s me your
friendly neighborhood Gatorade dispenser.Make that, your not
so friendly Cubs dugout Gatorade dispenser. Gone are
the days when pitchers would beat up catchers to take out
their frustrations. I’ve never
missed…
