Former Cubs reliever LaTroy Hawkins was booted from Monday night’s game vs. the Astros after disagreeing vehemently with umpire Mike Everitt about a ball call to Aramis Ramirez in the 8th inning (the game was tied 1-1 at the time). Now LaTroy has made his situation even worse by suggesting that Everitt has a bias [...]

Causation and correlation are two very different things. That said, the correlation between Aramis Ramirez returning on the July 6 and the Cubs winning - not to mention hitters hitting - is very interesting.Since July 6:The Cubs are 11-6. That's good.Aramis Ramirez is batting .293 with a .363 OBP.Alfonso Soriano is batting .404 with a .452 OBP.Milton Bradley is batting .263 with...

Last night was probably the second best game we’ve been to this year. It was the second walk-off we’ve attended, the first being against the Cardinals in April. Aramis Ramirez went deep in extras in that one and we think we might have made a Cardinals fan cry. He was being a douche, so, we’re [...]

Aramis Ramirez went down with a terrible injury this past May verse the Brewers when he dove for a ground ball and hurt his shoulder. People thought he would never be the same this year.
People thought he would be just like Derrek Lee when he came off his wrist injury. It pretty much took Lee a season and a half to get his power back.
Even Ramirez doubted himself. He was quoted...

Cubs 6, Astros 11
Coming into this game we had no idea what the Cubs would get out of Dempster, and the answer was: not much. Luckily the Cubs were in this game due to an injury to Oswalt in the second inning. They tied it up in the fifth at 6-6 on a 3-run HR by Aramis Ramirez, who I think we can say at this point is officially back. Then the bullpen finished the pig’s breakfast...

I'm just not sure about that Aramis Ramirez. He probably can't help the Cubs if he's not 100% healthy. The same could also probably be said about Ryan Dempster, who failed to pitch effectively last night, surrendering 6 runs in 5 innings of work.
Still, these Cubs are a scrappy bunch -- after falling behind 6 to 0, the team managed to battle back and score...

First, the raw data: Cubs 4, Reds 1. Also, Phillies 9, Cardinals 2. By themselves, they're mere statistical noise, the July results that never determine anything of merit. Together, though, they're another sign of the apocalypse.Yes, with the win, the Chicago Cubs have moved into first place of the NL Central. Their record of 51-45 outpaces the Cardinals' 53-48 by half...

Cubs Shortstop Ryan Theriot talks about the Cubs recent surge into first place.Aramis Ramirez has retuned, and Milton Bradley has finally begun to hit the ball better. Alfonso Soriano has made the adjustment from leadoff man to Sixth man in the order, and the Cubs pitchers haven't missed a beat despite the fact that a moderate injury bug has forced Lou Piniella to make changes...

(game recap graphic to come later)Yesterday, the Astros busted out 11 runs against Chicago, thanks mostly to a tired, incompetent Cubs bullpen. Today, the Cubs returned the favor with an explosion of 12 runs scored. If the laws of "don't score too many one day or you won't have any tomorrow" hold true, then hopefully the two teams have evened things...

by Pat LackeyFiled under: Astros, Cubs, NL CentralIt's understandable that LaTroy Hawkins would be upset after the Astros' loss last night to the Cubs. The 'Stros began the night two games behind division leading Chicago and with their tough 13 inning loss, which ended on a grand slam by Alfonso Soriano, they lost another game in the standings. Hawkins, meanwhile, was...

He was there when Carlos Zambrano went on the disabled list, stayed there when Rich Harden went on the DL and was one of the keys to keeping the Cubs' season duct-taped together through Aramis Ramirez's two months on the DL.
