And Now, We Wait: Cubs 3, Cardinals 2
The Cubs have now played four straight one-run games. Last night's heartstoppingly exciting 3-2 win over the Cardinals evened their one-run game record at 21-21, gave them their first series win in two weeks, expanded their division lead to 5.5 games over the Brewers, who lost 6-3 to the Phillies,...
Worth The Harden Effort: Cubs 6, Nationals 1
While Rich Harden was mowing down the Nats seemingly without effort this afternoon, the happiest Cubs player had to be Kosuke Fukudome, who hit a two-run, pinch-hit HR, his first since July 31 in Milwaukee, to put the Cubs' 6-1 win over the Nationals on ice, making the score 5-1; they would extend...
A Going-Away Present: Cubs 9, Marlins 2
The Cubs beat the Marlins 9-2 this afternoon, winning the series (their sixth straight series win), the season series from the Marlins 4-3, and said goodbye to south Florida for 2008 (Note to Mets and Phillies: please keep the Marlins in third place!) -- and good riddance. I mean, seriously: a...
Success: Cubs 6, Cardinals 2
The Cubs finished up yet another successful homestand with a convincing 6-2 win over the Cardinals last night; they won their fourth straight series and starting with the last game of the Marlins series, when they came from behind to win 9-6, they are 11-3. It likely won't happen this way, but...
SWEEP! -- Cubs 11, Brewers 4
MILWAUKEE -- There comes a time in virtually every season put together by a championship team to which you can look back and say, "That was the play -- or the game -- or the series -- where it all came together." It is, of course, far too early -- there remain two months in the regular season,...
Sweet! -- Cubs 2, Cardinals 1
It was really considerate of the city of St. Louis to shoot off fireworks for the Cubs' 2-1 win over the Cardinals, wasn't it? Just as Kerry Wood was finishing off the victory, the grand finale of the downtown St. Louis 4th of July fireworks show splashed across the sky -- you could hear the...
Uh-Oh: Cubs 4, Rays 5
The Cubs lost 5-4 to the Rays in St. Petersburg, Florida, last night, their second loss in a row to the suddenly-powerful team from Tampa Bay. I know, I know, that's not what you want to talk about this morning, you just want to hear more about Carlos Zambrano's shoulder problem. The answer is...
Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before: Cubs 2, Blue Jays 3
TORONTO -- Sean Gallagher threw a pretty nice game last night. But the Cubs lost to the Blue Jays 3-2, snapping a four-game winning streak, you're saying. What is Al talking about? The road finally get to him? No, it didn't, though I was almost literally driving door-to-door from Wrigley...
Almost Flawless: Cubs 7, Braves 2
If I had told you, last June 16, when the Cubs were five games under .500, 6 1/2 games out of first place, and Carlos Zambrano threw a complete game in a 1-0 loss to the Padres at Wrigley Field (the same game in which Derrek Lee and Chris Young had their famous fight), that the Cubs' next complete...
Suddenly Summer: Cubs 10, Braves 5
After enduring a spring that Mike described to me last night as "First cold rain, then hot rain", the sun came out, puffy clouds dotted the sky, a healthy breeze wafted warm air over Chicago and Wrigley Field yesterday, and the Cubs just kept on rolling with a 10-5 win over the Braves, their ninth...
