New Project
Derrek Lee started a project last off season to help fight LCA across the world. The foundation is called Project 3000 and I was impressed by the immediate response of sports stars around the league. As of today, I have had about 270,000 people come to the site. So starting April 1st and ending May...
Mugged: Cubs 11, Astros 7
I shouldn't complain, not after the Cubs win again, 11-7 over the Astros on a muggy afternoon that had hints of yesterday's rainfall even while the sun was shining most of the day. But I'm going to anyway, just for a moment. What were Lou and Bob Howry thinking? With two out, a runner on second...
This Time It REALLY Counts: Cubs 6, Brewers 4
If last night's 6-4 Cubs win over the Brewers had been a postseason game, it would have become legendary. The game had so many memorable elements -- three lead changes, power galore from the Brewers, clutch pitching from Cub relievers, and a suddenly-hot Alfonso Soriano helping lead the charge...
What A Difference An Inning Makes: Cubs 9, Marlins 6
When Mike Jacobs' second homer of the day (and yes, it was definitely a HR, the umpires got it right -- it hit off the concrete facing behind the basket, above the yellow line) left the Yard in the third inning, making the score 5-0 Marlins and you could hear the sound of anguished wrist-slitting...
Hey Now, You're An All-Star: Cubs 7, Cardinals 1
In the middle of the season, you can't really point to any single game as "must-win" (though I have been guilty of saying that in the past)... because there are plenty of games remaining, the Cubs are in first place, and they come home (at last!) for a homestand beginning Tuesday, after playing 16...
Uh-Oh: Cubs 5, White Sox 6
Really, it shouldn't have even gotten as far as the top of the ninth. The Cubs had numerous chances to put today's 6-5 loss to the White Sox away and failed almost every time. Ten men left on base; RISP left on base in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 9th innings and the worst part about the above is...
Losing Ugly: Cubs 3, White Sox 10
There's no way to sugarcoat today's 10-3 Cub loss to the White Sox, so I won't. As bad as the Cubs looked in yesterday's loss to Baltimore, they just about matched it in looking bad against the White Sox this afternoon -- their first loss to the Sox after six straight wins dating back to a...
He Did It Again! -- Cubs 4, White Sox 3
As Aramis Ramirez rounded third base to a scrum of his waiting happy teammates after hitting the walkoff home run that won today's thrilling come-from-behind 4-3 Cub win over the White Sox, I got to thinking, "There's another photo for the cover of next year's Wrigley Season Ticket!" Just nine...
Indoor/Outdoor Carpeting: Cubs 7, Blue Jays 4
COOPERSTOWN, New York -- After driving through several downpours, and enjoying an entire baseball game despite several of the same in Toronto, I've arrived on the outskirts of Cooperstown, for tomorrow's festivities surrounding the Hall of Fame Game. I know there's been quite a bit of discussion...
There's No Place Like Home: Cubs 3, Dodgers 1
I had just turned the radio on to the postgame show to hear Lou Piniella discussing the merits of winning a lot of games at home and breaking even on the road, which is a nice little combination. Wrigley Field is providing one of the best starts in club history at home -- 20 of the first 28, a...
