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…

Monday night, I had the pleasure of making a guest appearance on Bill Ivie’s I-70 Baseball Radio podcast on blogtalkradio.com. It is a great compilation of Cardinals and Royals fan bloggers and always a fun listen. This particular episode, they…
2011 Season Preview – WE’RE GOING TO SHOCK THE WORLD
Posted: January 14, 2011 in DailiesTags: 2011, Astros, Brewers, Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, Cubs, MLB, NL Central, Pirates, Reds
“We shocked the world”.Those words are uttered in only two cases. Absolute disasters, or sports miracles. It’s kind of bizarre, but in no other situation do you ever hear of anyone saying that the world was shocked. Ever. Even with…

When it comes to Chicago Cubs baseball, if recent events have taught us anything, it’s never say always. One of my favorite things to say here at Prose and Ivy is, “We’ll Always Have Pittsburgh”. Given our performance in the…

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….
Seven Ate Nine

There is an old children’s joke that reminds me of this Cubs season. “Why is six afraid of seven?”"Because seven eight nine.”As soon as we hit seven games back I felt that it was too much to overcome and that…
Let’s Say They’re Right

Let’s say the experts are right and the Cubs are going to represent the National League in the World Series this year. And really, what better game to talk about this afterwards than today’s game. Our 4-8 hitters looked great…
Not the prettiest stretch of baseball, but definitely a successful one. Taking one of the worst teams in baseball into extra innings and at times playing some seriously ugly baseball somehow became the formula to a successful 3-0 road series…
Sometimes You Don’t Have to Look Good…Just Not As Ugly As the Other Guy

And that was the case in the last game the Cubs played. 3 errors. 12 innings of professional, major league baseball, a level where no game should look like this. The Cubs only went 1-2-3 twice in twelve innings and…
