Cubs

Their team is struggling just as much as the Cubs right now. It could have been disastrous if Milwaukee would have gone on a winning streak this week as the Cubs were skidding against the Phillies and Astros. The

  Team effort...the reason I love the Cubs.  They are a great group of athletes, but they are also a great group of friends. Every game it's obvious that the players like each other and all understand what they could accomplish this year. I don't see any one man show out there....I see a team. Theriot slapping balls up the middle and to right fields...Lee hitting sac flies...Harden hustling down the first base line for an infield single...Blanco with a clutch game-ending hit. The list goes on. Never before have I seen a

He came up with a huge 3-run home run in the 7th inning with 2 on and 2 out to put the Cubs up 10 to 7 over the Astros. Soriano also had a single and a double to give him 4 RBI on the day. He touched home twice.

4:02 p.m.

It's Monday, August 4th. The Cubs and Astros are about to face off. The wind is always something to pay attention to at Wrigley....and it looks like it is blowing at around 10-15 mph from right to left field, straight across. Sweet outfits and hair on many of the fans tonight. It's 70s night...

Tribune Co. is selling the Chicago Cubs franchise, along with Wrigley Field, and part of Comcast SportsNet. The Cubs, as well as Wrigley Field, would be the perfect investment for any billionaire;

Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. The home runs just added salt to the Brewers' wounds. The Cubs beat the Brewers in games 1 through 4..... 6-4, 7-1, 7-2, and 11-4. The beating the Brewers received from the Chicago

Chicago has been dreaming for a year such as this, to see both the cubs and white sox in first place. We all know this won't last forever so enjoy it while it last for another week or so. As bad as th

A month and a half later I can hardly find much to complain about when it comes to the Cubs. They look like the best baseball team in the National League right now (obviously their record doesn't disagree), and after a 7-0 homestand this week, my baseball excitement is at its peak. I can't miss a

Today the Cubs go for a sweep against the Dodgers at home with Carlos Zambrano on the bump.  They also have the Best record in the National League with a handful of teams right there as well.  What is alarming is the

ight now, second maybe only to Barry Zito.

I'm not saying having him go down is going to help the Cubs. He's still an all-star player, and like I said, when he gets hot, he gets blazing hot. But it's so damn frustrating watching him go up there, spitting 500 times, swinging at everything, spitting, refusing to look at pitches from the leadoff spot, more spitting. All I'm saying is whoever is put in the leadoff spot while he is out, whether that be Theriot or Reed Johnson, (Fukudome?) better step it the hell up and prove to Lou Piniella that he has a bonafide table setter to put at the top of the lineup, so he does't have to stick Soriano in there so he can strike out, hit solo home runs, and not steal bases. This is why Brian Roberts would be nice.

It would be nice if he were actually able to win some games in April this year and get the Cubs off to a hot start. And as for closer, it's nice to see Kerry Wood might be getting the role. I still think I would prefer Marmol to start off there, because I'm sure he's gonna be there after Woody hurts a shoulder or a back. But as a

Originally I didn't really want Roberts and was kind of wishing the Cubs would push for Bedard because he would totally dominate in the NL Central, but obviously that didn't happen. However, I want Roberts now. Not because I think DeRosa wouldn't be good as the everyday second baseman, but mainly so they would have a reason to get Soriano out of th leadoff spot. The leadoff homeruns are nice and everything, but he has no business being in that spot in the lineup, swinging at the first pitch. Plus, if anyone were to get injured in the infield, you have DeRosa there to fill in instead of Ronny Cedeno or whatever hodgepodge of mediocre infielders that the
