Cubs season no surprise to this guy

Linkage
Here are some things to read while you try to figure out the Cubs magic number, while you try to pretend you didn’t predict a Brewers division title, or while you sit comfortably this morning thanks to Alexei: Who is the odd man out with the ...
Rocky road trip sets Cubs back
The Cubs are now three games out of first place, and the series in Colorado was forgettable to say the least. Not only did they lose Carlos Zambrano to the DL, lose Aramis to what should be a continuous shoulder issue if not another DL trip, get hit ...
Opposite directions for Cubs and Brewers
The Chicago Cubs won on 13 innings last night on an Alfonso Soriano grand slam. The Milwaukee Brewers on the other hand were the victims of the grand slam, two in fact, both hit by Josh Willingham in consecutive innings. So while the Cubs have manage...
“It’s gonna happen.” Really?
Jayson Werth hits a game winning 3-run homer, the Phillies win again, the Cubs lose again. We’ve seen the script to last night’s game before, though maybe the ending has changed a bit for dramatics. The Cubs get stellar pitching from a st...
Cubs-Brewers aftermath
The Cubs entered Sunday with a chance to take three of four games from the once first place Milwaukee Brewers, and with Ted Lilly taking the mound, there was good reason to be optimistic. If that wasn’t enough for Cubs fans, they only needed to...
Cubs hitting woes continue; What can be done?
The marathon that was yesterday’s game ended on a positive note, with a win. Other than that there wasn’t much for Cubs fans to be thrilled about when it came to what was seen on the field. The failure of this team to score runs when they...
Cubs fall again; time to panic?
When Milton Bradley sent a two run shot deep into the left field bleachers, not only did it give the Cubs a one run lead at 7-6, it also seemed to signal the beginning of the end of the Cubs hitting woes and more importantly their seven game losing s...
Injury bug bites Cubs again, Ramirez dislocates shoulder
The hits just keep on coming for the Chicago Cubs. In last nights 3-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers they were dealt another injury blow as Aramis Ramirez dislocated his shoulder on a gem of a defensive play at third base. Ramirez will most likely be ...
Cubs win final two of Cards series, now 7-4
The Chicago Cubs won what turned out to be the final two games of their series with the St. Louis Cardinals in dramatic fashion on both Friday and Saturday. On Friday it was Alfonso Soriano who despite striking out three out of his first four at bats...
Cubs wrap 4/8
The Cub bats woke up last night to a tune of eight runs in the first two innings. The first four runs came before the Astros had registered an out. Kosuke Fukodome and Aramis Ramirez had four hits apiece, including Fukodome’s first home run of ...
Cubs wrap up 4/6
The Cubs opened the 2009 season with a win over the Houston Astros on Monday night. Alfonso Soriano led off the game with a home run and Aramis Ramirez added his own to lead of the second against Roy Oswalt. It was all the scoring Chicago would need ...
A look at the Cubs spring numbers
Yesterday we looked at the Brewers spring thus far, today we will focus on the Cubs. Just twelve days remain until Opening Day and the questions that faced the team a couple of months ago are getting their answers. The Cubs have not failed to hit, as...
Breaking down the career of Aramis Ramirez
The debate on whether former Cub third basemen Ron Santo should be inducted into the Hall of Fame has been an on-going topic for years. While one side petitions each time the vote comes up, the other side argues his numbers aren’t good enoug...
Cubs are favorites but have room to improve
The 2008 regular season for the Chicago Cubs was quite a ride for fans of the North Side. The 2008 post-season was one to forget. From poor pitching to the lack of hitting to the errors, the final three games of the season looked like they were bei...
It’s not where Soriano hits, it’s when
Another Chicago Cub spring, another beginning of the “Where to bat Soriano” saga. The question was again posed to Lou Piniella, and again he offered little to suggest that Alfonso wouldn’t be atop the lineup come opening day. He did...
