You know things are going bad for the Chicago Cubs this season when the worse part about being recently swept by the Houston Astros was not the sweep itself. It was the fact that the Cubs called on the powerful and dangerous slugger Koye Hill to be a pinch hitter. How has life in Wrigleyville evolved into such an ugly place so quickly? It doesn't take a genius to calculate the mathematical errors that the Chicago Cubs organization has made which has landed them in this black hole of abyss. It can all be said during a single breath: Bad ...
Come on Chicago Cubs fans.
We have all done it before with our chorus of boos and our cynical hate mail.
What am I talking about?
You remember what you did to LaTroy Hawkins?
You booed him raucously until he would give up another run, which would result in what?
Yes, you guessed it—more boos.
He was on the next ticket out of town before you could say, "Don Baylor."
You remember Michael Barrett?
He was the one who punched the No. 1 public enemy in baseball, A.J.Pierzynski, in his face, but we were all too emotional when he was in a tussle with Carlos Zambrano.
Out the door went Barrett, ...
The instant the Chicago Cubs manager Mike Quade decided to play Jeff Baker instead of Tyler Colvin at first base when Carlos Pena missed a couple of games because of an injury, he made a mistake. The instant he decided to have Reed Johnson to play in the outfield when Alfonso Soriano, Marlon Byrd or Kosuke Fukudome sat out for a game to rest instead of Tyler Colvin, Quade made a mistake. The instant Mike Quade committed to start Fukudome in right field in almost every single Cubs game to date instead of Tyler Colvin, he made a huge mistake. ...
Where do I begin? Or better question is: Do I even want to waste my time writing about an organization that has lost all of its creditability from not only its opponents, but from their fans, too? The Chicago Cubs are terrible. Not just terrible, but absolutely terrible. The 2011 version, if you want to call it a baseball team, is a far cry from the 97-win season in 2008. Everything is just wrong with this team. Outside of the bright futures of Starlin Castro and Darwin Barney, this whole team has the aroma of the Chicago River—somewhat unpleasant. After ...
Last season, the Cubs struggled all year in one-run ball games.
Today, the Cubs' fortune seemed to be on their side as they sneaked past the Arizona Diamondbacks, 6-5.
Tyler Colvin's two-run home run and three RBI helped the Cubs get their third win on the season.
The Cubs struck first in the second inning when Darwin Barney scored on a Miguel Montero throwing error and Starlin Castro followed with an RBI double to score Koyie Hill.
Andrew Cashner, who was making his pitching debut as a starter, gave up a solo home run to Ryan Roberts for his only blemish in the game.
In ...
Randy Wells continued his spring success in his first start of the season, as he kept the Arizona Diamondbacks' hitting at bay while engineering through six innings, giving up just one run on six hits.
After a disappointing weekend against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Chicago Cubs could not afford to start the week on a sour note.
The Diamondbacks struck first in the first inning on a Willie Bloomquist home run.
However, this would be the only run the Diamondbacks would score, as the Cubs fought their way back for a 4-1 victory.
For the fourth day in a row, in what may be ...
Cubs nation can finally breathe easier.
After a disappointing loss to the Pirates on Opening Day, the Cubs rallied from a 3-0 deficit to propel them to their first victory on the season.
They say the first win is always the hardest, and today's game was not any exception.
Carlos Zambrano gave up three runs in six innings on five hits including a Garrett Jones home run.
Paul Maholm, who recorded three of his nine victories last season against Chicago, was masterful through 6 2/3 of pitching while giving up just five hits and zero runs.
It appeared the Cubs were on the brink to begin the season 0-2 while trailing ...
Is it next year yet?If today is any indication how the Chicago Cubs season will play out, fans will wait anxiously for the next season to begin.The struggles for the Cubs that plagued them all last season continued in their opening game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.Bad pitching, bad fielding, and bad hitting, all of which are the formula for a bad ball-game.The Cubs had a chance to break the game open against their newest nemesis, the Pirates, in the fourth inning when they had the bases loaded with only one man out. However, the Cubs were only able to scratch across one run when ...
Opening Day is finally here.Aside from the beautiful smell of fresh hot dogs and sausages simmering on an open fire, it is the mark of another calendar year where the Chicago Cubs have another shot at ending their 102 years of championship futility.Every team is hopeful that this year is their year.But for Chicago Cubs players and fans, this slogan has been said so much, that it has lost all of its meaning.However, anything is possible in the crazy wild, wild, National League Central and if the Cubs can put it together, they could raise some eyebrows. Here are the five ...
With the Chicago Cubs just days away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Mesa, Arizona, the dreadful realization of seeking a replacement for the legendary and passionate radio broadcaster Ron Santo begins to sink in.
Ron Santo tragically passed away on December 3, 2010 due to complications from bladder cancer and diabetes
The Cubs have a tall task at hand as Pat Hughes, who worked with Ron Santo for 15 years in the booth, simply put it, "Ronnie was one of the all-time icons of Chicago sports. You have Ron and Billy Williams and Ernie Banks and Ryne Sandberg and Gale Sayers ...
