How optimistic do you feel toward the remaining 2009 Chicago Cubs' season?

Game Fifty - Cubs 5 Braves 6 - 12 innings WP - Rafael Soriano (1-0) LP - Aaron Heilman (2-3) Save - None While Aaron Heilman was credited with the loss on Tuesday night, he was not the sole reason the Chicago Cubs are 25-25 after 50 games of the season. Baseball is a team game, but this loss must be hung on the Cubs pathetic bullpen. Randy Wells pitched an incredible game...

Posted by Lionel on June 3, 2009.With last night's game fresh in our minds, let's take a quick gander at the Cubs offseason pitching moves:Aaron Heilman for Ronny Cedeno and Garrett Olson-Heilman took the loss last night, making him 2-3 on the season with a 5.09 ERA. The Cubs parted ways with Cedeno because they signed Aaron Miles. Makes sense...get rid of a guy who can play...

Carlos Zambrano isn't being properly contrite for missing the team flight to Atlanta, at least according to the scolds who cover the Cubs.Gordon Wittenmyer of the Sun-Times says in its headline: "Carlos Zambrano doesn't seem very contrite." 'I don't have nothing to say,'' he said. ''What do you want me to say?''How about that his...

It took 11 innings, but the Cubs walk away with their first road victory in almost a month. Why the Cubs Won: Another good outing from the starting staff, which are 5th in the league in ERA (not sure if that is before or including tonight's game). Ignoring that the Braves are closer to the bottom than the top in NL offense and were missing their best hitter, Lilly...

ATLANTA -- A defiant Carlos Zambrano refused multiple requests to talk about the team charter he blew off Monday, and team officials declined public comment.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Chicago Cubs won't say if suspended pitcher Carlos Zambrano was disciplined for missing the team's charter flight to Atlanta.

Randy Wells pitched BRILLIANTLY tonight.  No hitter through 6 2/3, supremely efficient in getting outs, and he left in the 8th leading 5-1.  A Marmol/Gregg meltdown later, it's 5-5 going into extras.  I swear, I called the Gregg Meltdown before he even came into the game.  Alfon-frickin-seca the second.  El Pulpo Dos.  In fact, I like that. I ...

Over the course of a 162 game season, even the best teams have slumps. Particularly in this era of relatively balanced competition even the perennial division winners – teams like the Red Sox, Cardinals, and Angels – run into rough stretches. But the 2009 Chicago Cubs are currently enduring a slump that even the worst teams have to avoid staring directly at. The Cubs current...

It was another awful night for Cubs Nation - and a great night for Cubs haters. The Cubs blew a 5-0 lead and lost to the Atlanta Braves in the 12th inning, then reports surfaced that Carlos Zambrano missed the team flight to Atlanta.

The Dodgers are notorious for their streaks. Ok, let me be more specific. The Dodgers are notorious for their losing streaks. These streaks usually occur directly after hope and positivity radiate through the hearts of the fans. This season they may be breaking the taboo......It is obvious the Dodgers are producing runs. Afterall, we are the best team in all of baseball. The...
