Chicago Cubs

Friday, June 22nd, 2007Not to pile on Barrett, but maybe before they traded him they should have let all their pitchers punch him in the face a few times. If Zambrano’s experience is any indication, beating the crap out of Barrett does wonders for your era. Since their little fight Big Z has been the completely dominant pitcher […]
Bye Bye Barrett
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007In case you haven’t heard the Cubs traded Barrett to San Diego this morning in exchange for their backup catcher and a minor leaguer.
Coming into the year I was a Barrett fan. He was a pretty good hitter for a catcher and he had that enforcer type persona that every club needs.
This year, not so […]
They’re Doing it Again
Saturday, June 9th, 2007The Cubs have been on a nice little run this past week. It’s a trick. Don’t fall for it. They’re going to keep up their winning ways for a bit, right up until they are either within a few games of 500 or the Brewers. At that point, just when you thinking they might have […]
Cubs Thoughts
Saturday, June 9th, 2007So once again I haven’t posted in quite a while. I have good excuses though. I’ve been on vacation, and very busy at work, and I’ve honestly been been too frustrated and angry with Cubs to write anything. Plus I’m lazy.
I’ve changed my opinions of Michael Barret, Jacque Jones and Carlos Zambrano. […]
Cubs/Sox Series.
Sunday, May 20th, 2007I usually hate going to the Cubs/Sox games. I don’t enjoy them at all. You have to put up with drunken Sox (and Cubs) fans bickering for hours and then most likely listen to Sox fans chirp about winning the game/series/World Series. There’s only so much of that you can take. The joy of the […]
Zambrano and Contracts
Saturday, May 12th, 2007Did Carlos Zambrano forget that this is his contract year? Aren’t players in the final years of their contracts supposed to have career years so they can sign exceptionally large deals that they never live up to? Maybe someone should clue Carlos into that fact because he isn’t doing a lot to help his cause […]
Turning Point
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007I know its cliche, but Tuesday’s game could end up being a major turning for the Cubs season. They had arrived in Pittsburgh on a three game winning streak and series victory off the Cardinals. Their ace had finally pitched a good game, and their offense was starting to heat up. And they got to […]
Huge Victory
Sunday, April 29th, 2007Saturday’s game was huge. A three game winning streak. A series win against the Cards in St Louis. Zambrano pitches a good game. Theriot gets a start at short. The Cubs needed that in a big way. Now they just need to ride that momentum into this week.
Misc Notes
Saturday, April 28th, 2007I’m a few days late on this, but if you had April 25th in your office pool as the day Mark Prior would be officially done for the season, congratulations. You win.

I have to admit I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the performance of the Cubs starting staff this year. The fact that Zambrano […]
Lacking
Friday, April 20th, 2007I don’t have any specific facts to back this up, but one thing that the Cubs always seem to lack that pennant winning teams have is a some first or second year player that no one outside of their fandom has heard of that has a breakout year. The Cubs never seem to have a […]
