Cubs vs. Brewers to the DEATH!

Found July 02, 2009 on Cub Reporter: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Seth McClung,  Mike Burns,  Ted Lilly,  Reed Johnson,  Aramis Ramirez,  Angel Guzman
TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers,  Chicago Cubs,  St. Louis Cardinals

C0
We have the big holiday weekend coming up and the big four-game series to go with it. The Milwaukee Brewers lead the NL Central by a game over the St. Louis Cardinals and 3.5 up on our Cubs. The Brewers are fourth in the NL in runs scored...the Cubs 15th. On the flip side, they are 10th in Runs Allowed and the Cubs are third. As the saying goes, something has to give... As you'd expect, the pitching matchups favor the Cubs the entire weekend - Seth McClung versus Dempster tonight,  Suppan vs Zambrano tomorrow, Looper vs. Harden on Saturday and Mike Burns vs. Ted Lilly to close the series on Sunday.  Soriano will sit again tonight, but will be back at the top of the lineup tomorrow. Reed Johnson and Aramis Ramirez start a rehab assignment in Peoria today and should be joined by Angel Guzman in rejoining the team on Monday. Tonight's lineup: Fuld (LF), Theriot, Lee, Bradley, Fox, Fukudome, Soto, Fontenot and Dempster. Go Cubs!

Game Seventy-Four - Cubs 0 Pirates 3 WP - Ross Ohlendorf (7-6) LP - Ted Lilly (7-6) Save - Matt Capps (18) An extremely bad month for the Chicago Cubs came to a fitting end on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh.

Ramirez Back Monday

Via Another Cubs Blog  |  July 01, 2009
If all goes well, Aramis Ramirez will be back with the Cubs on Monday when they open a 3-game series against the Atlanta Braves. Ramirez is going to play Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the Peoria Chiefs and get about 10 or 12 at-bats. If he doesn’t have a setback, he’ll most likely be in the lineup Monday night. Don’t expect Ramirez to be the offensive player...

Cubs shutout by Ohlendorf

Via Another Cubs Blog  |  June 30, 2009
There’s really nothing to say about this game. Ted Lilly pitched another good game. He allowed 3 runs in 7 innings and that should be good enough. Unfortunately the Cubs bats were silent. The 1-2-3 hitters (Soriano, Fukudome, Lee) were a combined 1-11. The 4-5-6 hitters (Fox, Hoffpauir, Soto) were a combined 2-11. In fact, the Cubs 1-5 hitters were a combined 1-19. Soto...

Let me preface this entire article with a big old, who cares? With the Cubs playing the way they are, the mercy All-Star that the Cubs will get is of little importance, but I needed an article idea for the day and it's a fun discussion. And dagnabit, baseball is suppose to be fun. So assuming the lemmings that are voting don't get Alfonso Soriano in there (currently...

The 24-man Pittsburgh Pirate roster takes the field tonight against the Chicago Cubs. Ross Ohlendorf goes against Ted Lilly as the Pirates try to keep going in what's gotta be a pretty rough stretch for the guys on the field. I certainly like the Morgan trade and what it does for the organization, but seeing your friends traded can't ever be easy. Anyways, if you're looking...
