Ha ha ha ha. It’s always good to take 5 of 6 from your cross-town rival. I am definitely more excited about the Cubs triumph than seeing a toothless, fightless White Sox team limp through another series. But I have to admit that it’s pretty fun seeing them this way. After the trash-talking I’ve endured [...]

Cubs sweep White Sox
Monday, June 25th, 2007Rod Beck found dead at the age of 38
Monday, June 25th, 2007Rod Beck was always entertaining. Whether it was keeping the game interesting in the ninth, or having a beer with a fan in his Winnebago outside the park in AAA Iowa, Shooter always seemed to have fun. The only time he didn’t have a smile on his face was when he was staring down opposing [...]

Cubs trade fiesty Barrett to the Padres
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007So the Cubs finally did it, they traded away my favorite player. Normally that would make me mad, and it still does just a little. But, I understand. Barrett was in his walk year, was struggling mightily behind the plate, and wasn’t playing nicely with others. Barrett was once looked at as a scrappy leader [...]
The Cubs face the Mariners at Wrigley Field
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007Make no mistake, I am a Cubs fan. The current series between the Cubs and the Mariners is a actually a treat. But my allegiance is clear. I have one singular rooting interest, the Cubs. I couldn’t want the Cubs to win, and the Mariners to lose these three games more than I currently do. [...]
Edgar Renteria is a bush league punk
Monday, June 11th, 2007(AP photo)
Edgar Renteria was hit by a pitch in the first inning by Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly. This was obvious retaliation for Braves pitcher Tim Hudson plunking Alfonso Soriano on Saturday. Braves manager Bobby Cox claims that Hudson was not trying to hit Soriano, who hit 3 home runs in the Cubs 9-1 victory on [...]
Cubs better without Lou?
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007The Cubs were 3-1 with Lou Pinella not in the dugout. I’m not saying… I’m just saying. Maybe Alan Trammel wasn’t as bad as he looked in Detroit. Or I suppose it could be that Zambrano’s pitching with purpose, and Alfonso Soriano is starting to hit the ball. Either way, I’m happy to see the [...]
The Cubs have fallen apart
Sunday, June 3rd, 2007Nevermind the fact that the Cubs had lost 6 in a row coming into their game Sunday, the previous 2 games were evidence enough that the train has come off the tracks. In Friday’s game, the Cubs starting pitcher (and supposed ace) Carlos Zambrano, and their starting catcher Michael Barrett got into a shoving match, [...]
