There is apparently no such thing as a victory for the 2009 Chicago Cubs that does not contain a note of bitterness and dread. That came glaringly to light, once again, on Sunday afternoon, when the Cubs beat the Marlins 6-4, but in the process, lost starter Carlos Zambrano to what...

2-3 weeks: that’s how long the Cubs will be without Carlos Zambrano, who on Monday was placed on the 15 day DL with a strained hamstring. The injury was suffered in Sunday’s win over the Marlins when, in the bottom of the 5th, Carlos laid a bunt down and busted it to...

The Cubs‘ winning streak went by the boards Tuesday with a 6-2 loss to Tim Lincecum and the Giants. San Francisco, who have been better so far than many expected, was aided somewhat by Lou Piniella who elected to pull a Gregg Popovich and go with the B team, starting benchwarmers...

The Cubs have seemingly already endured a season’s worth of trials and tribulations, and yet, for all the injuries, controversies and stretches of spotty play, the team is 16-12 and just 2 1/2 games out of first. If the mark of a good team is being able to weather the bad periods...

The Cubs just got more versatile on their bench, by trading spare part outfielder Joey Gathright to the Baltimore Orioles for utility man Ryan Freel. Mr. Freel hasn’t gotten much chance to do anything this year with Baltimore: in just 9 games, he has hit .133 with no homers...

The Cubs‘ 3-2 loss to the Brewers Friday night is sort of beside the point now…what matters is that Aramis Ramirez dislocated his shoulder in the game and will reportedly miss 4-6 weeks while he recovers. The injury happened on a seemingly innocent diving attempt at a...

Okay, I’ll say it: the Brewers are better this year than I thought. Yes, I was amongst those who believed the losses of CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets would be too much for this team to absorb - but the emergence of Yovani Gallardo has made up for some of that, plus, as we know, [...]

Good injury news for the Cubs is rarer than a quality Nicolas Cage movie these days, but on Monday they did get some: Derrek Lee had an MRI done and it showed no damage to the bulging disc in his neck that’s been keeping him out of action. Lee is now expected to be back [...]
Two More Dingers for Ryan Theriot as Cubs Win 6-4 in 8

Ryan Theriot hit 1 home run all of 2008. In 2009 he already has 5, 2 coming in Wednesday night’s rain-shortened 6-4 win over the Padres. Far be it from me to accuse one of our own Cubbies of doing steroids, but…I’m sorry, but in this day and age, you just can...
