Game One Hundred Thirty-One: Cubs (66-64) vs. Astros (63-69) Game Time - 1:20pm C.T. Coverage - TV: Comcast SportsNet - Radio: 720 WGN, XM Radio Channel 184 Location - Wrigley Field, Chicago Ted Lilly (9-8, 3.35/1.11) vs. Felipe Paulino (2-6, 6.96/1.72) The Cubs complete their season series with the Houston Astros this afternoon. Lou Piniella's crew is 10-6 versus Carlos Lee and company this year after Tuesday night's victory. It is time for Ryan Theriot to get a breather. Theriot has played more games than any other Cub this season and with the roster expanding on Tuesday, Lou Piniella has a shortstop once again on his roster that can spell Theriot. It is time for Piniella to use Andres Blanco and see if he can hit big league pitching for the remainder of the year. While Aaron Miles is not the answer to serve as the Cubs back-up middle infielder next year... Andres Blanco could be. The Cubs are expected to activate David Patton from the DL today and Piniella ...

Cubs’ Ace Ted Lilly

Via Sports Blog Net  |  September 03, 2009
Ted Lilly is the Cubs’ Ace. Has been since signing a 4-year deal with the club in 2006. In three seasons with Chicago he’s won 43 games, twice reach the 15-win mark, and was the team’s lone All Star rep this season. Still, it seems the ace label is always applied to Zambrano or Dempster, but never Lilly. [...]

Lilly, Lee, Marmol

Via Cubbies Crib  |  September 03, 2009
Lou Piniella figured it was time to rest some of his starters, including Ryan Theriot and Aramis Ramirez.  Thankfully, he did not decide to sit Derrek Lee, whose two-run homer gave the Cubs all their runs against the Astros on Wednesday. Thanks to Ted Lilly and Carlos Marmol, two runs was all the Cubs would need. Lilly [...]

Game & Series Recap: Cubs 2, Astros 0 (2 games to 1)

Via Goat Riders of the Apocalypse  |  September 03, 2009
Nobody predicted it at the time, but Ted Lilly is perhaps the best free agent pitcher signing the Cubs have ever made and last night he continued his domination of the Houston Astros. Lilly -- who, last I heard, is going to have shoulder surgery this off seasson -- pitched 8 innings, allowing only 4 hits, walking none and striking out 5. He improves to 10-8 on the year, and has a...

Ted Lilly was dominate on the mound for the Cubs Wednesday afternoon as he tossed eight shutout innings and the Cubs beat the Astros 2-0.

Chicago Cubs 2, Houston Astros 0: Ted Lilly Pitches Gem in Win

Via Bleacher Report  |  September 03, 2009
Click here for the photo gallery to Wednesday's game. Quick. Well-played. Successful. If the Cubs are going to make up any playoff ground in September, Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Astros is going have to be the template for that success. How quick? Unofficially, about 2:17, which is less time than it took to write this post, and edit photos from the game. Cubs fans got treated...

Bruce Miles Blames Someone Other Than Milton Bradley

Via Another Cubs Blog  |  September 01, 2009
It’s nice to see someone in the media is capable of pointing out how many players on this roster are responsible for the 2009 season.  Ryan Theriot is one of them.  The whole roster is in my opinion, but the media has enjoyed blaming Bradley for weeks now.  One guy I looked at today was Ryan Theriot. Look at his walks and strikeouts this year and last: 2008 Walks: 73 Strikeouts...
