***This is Part II of the recap of my trip to Phoenix to watch the Cubs play the Diamondbacks. Check out Part I here. I will do the same mix of tweets and photos as I did in the first part.***
I left off with our little ticket mix-up. I went to will-call to pick up [...]

***This is Part I of my “Cubs games in Phoenix” trip. I’ll post Part II tomorrow and you won’t want to miss tomorrow’s photos***
My wife and I take our kids to Southern California every summer for 3 weeks to visit my wife’s family. It just so happened that this year, the Cubs would [...]

Even though the Cubs lost last night, I’ll be damned if they aren’t playing some entertaining baseball right now. I know the D-backs are terrible, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve still just had fun watching the Cubs play baseball, and watching the Diamondbacks play makes me feel a little better about the Cubs. On one [...]

Since I’m on vacation, I don’t want to ruin this time of relaxation by actually putting together a thought-out post about this crummy team. So I’ll just put together a few thoughts here.
Since unloading 12 runs on the Angels in the final game of that series, the Cubs’ offense has disappeared. Since that game, the [...]

There aren’t too many good things to say about the Cubs right now. I watched all of Tuesday night’s terrible game and only some of last night’s equally terrible game. What the crap is up with Wells? It’s too bad that Marshall and Gorzelanny are both lefties because it’s looking like Wells should get a [...]

The Cubs losing baseball games hurts. The Cubs losing to Dusty Baker really hurts. The Cubs bullpen blowing a lead late in the game to Dusty Baker…that makes me want to circle Wrigley Field drinking my pain away. I can handle losses like the one the Cubs were dealt on Opening Day. These blown games [...]

The Cubs wrapped up their opening series in Atlanta last night and head to Cincinnati for their first look at an NL Central Division foe. So let’s take a look back at this, the first series in the 2010 season.
Monday: Braves 16 – Cubs 5
Pitching: Zambrano was bad, Samardzija was worse. Zambrano leaves with [...]

In retrospect, I should not have worried so much about this game being blacked out in our area. I’d like to hear from folks if they had any trouble getting the game because of MLB/ESPN Blackout. I have DirecTV and it was offered as an alternate ESPN station.
I am trying to convince myself that I [...]

Is anybody else thinking our team is looking a little rickety at the moment? The celebrated former Penn QB has signed with the Giants, and I would have thought after last year they would put an extra value on someone that can play multiple positions and cover for Aramis’ annual month long hiatus. Not to [...]

1. The Cubs, yet again, make an un-proven and mediocre (at best) pitcher look like the best pitcher in baseball. I understand that if guys haven’t faced a pitcher before, it might take an at-bat to get used to his release. But Lehr wasn’t getting his fastball out of the mid-80′s and he held the [...]
