Ladies & Gentleman, Your First Place Chicago Cubs!
Posted on 21 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
Ladies and Gentleman, your First Place Chicago Cubs. A rocky performance by Marcos Mateo on Sunday turned what was looking like an opportunity to get out of Colorado with a series win against a very good team into a lopsided loss to the Rockies. Castro and Barney continued their sha-lacking of the ball and the Cubs were able to put up a good fight over the weekend but the Rockies took two of th...

Rubber game dubyas
Posted on 14 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
Man, I like those rubber game wins a lot more than the losses. After a “buckle your seat belt” victory on Monday and a blow out loss on Tuesday, the Cubs offense and bullpen picked it up in the series finale tonight, clinching a best of three series 2-1 over the division rival Houston Astros. Game 1 was all Cubs and Dempster settled in for the first time this year. The Cubs were cruising 5-...

Tight games rule the Cubs season early on…
Posted on 11 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
The Cubs lost their second consecutive divisional series this year as the Brewers took two of three from Chicago in Milwaukee. It seems the Cubs are happy continuing nibbling in the early going this season as eight of the nine games so far have been decided by 3 runs or fewer. Jeff Baker had a solid night at the plate in Game 1, collecting four hits and joining Geovany Soto in belting a 2-run h...

Better, closer, warmer
Posted on 6 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
Well, the Cubs won their first series of the year. Today at 3:50 central time, J.J. Putz was able to salvage one victory for the Diamondbacks. I guess I should feel better about taking a series but I really felt this opening home stand was a good way to get off on the right foot this season. Before we preview, let’s recap. For Arizona in Game 1 it was a tale of too many men left on base. Will...

Diamondbacks Ready for Home Opener
Posted on 6 Apr 2011 by Josh Robbins.
The Diamondbacks (2-3) salvaged the finale of the three-game series on Wednesday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs with a 6-4 win at Wrigley Field. The offense showed signs of life by collecting 12 hits including a double and triple by outfielder, Chris Young. Miguel Montero hit his second home run of the season in the eighth inning off LHP John Grabow. The catcher is hitting a robust .47...

So far, off to a bad start
Posted on 4 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
Opening weekend didn’t go as planned for the Cubs. One would think starting the season facing the Pirates and the Diamondbacks would be beneficial to your team’s chances of starting off on the right foot. Think again. The Cubs let a good start slip away in Game 1 of the series. Up 2-0 in the top of the 5th, Ryan Doumit led off the inning with a Single for the Pirates. After a ground out by ...

Playyyyyyy Balllllllllll!
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Paul Jackson.
It is MLB Opening Day and I’m enjoying the Yankees and Tigers on ESPN as I write. It’s one day before Chicago Cubs opening day at Wrigley against the Pirates. As I prepare to watch this season, Mike Quade has had to make some final tweaks to the roster in preparation to play and has shown a willingness to let the youth step in and take over. Blake Dewitt failed to show up this Spring, despi...

Quality: A Great Place to Start
Posted on 22 Mar 2011 by Paul Jackson.
As the Cubs started the Spring slate a little over a month ago one of the questions that needed to be answered was in the pitching rotation. With a little over a week left before Opening Day, Mike Quade has a tough choice to make. I liken this choice to the choices those in Washington D.C. have to make. Most of those choices affect a lot of people, if not all. These choices will make some peopl...

MLB 2011: National League Preview
Posted on 19 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The 2010 season saw the San Francisco Giants win their first World Championship since moving away from New York, 52 years ago. Cincinnati took the central division with a late-season surge to overtake the Cardinals and it seems easy to forget that the San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies were in the race right down to the final day of the regular season. Milwaukee is improved as are the Braves...

Defense Wins Championships
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Paul Jackson.
As I speak… err, type, the Cubs are getting set to open up the second half of Spring Training facing the South-Siders. I’m left wondering why it is so difficult these days to catch a Spring Training game. There are streams online, video and audio I know, but is it just me or was it way easier ten or fifteen years ago to follow the MLB’s exhibition season? I know it doesn’t really matter...

Bring your hope. Bring your passion. Cubbie season is here.
Posted on 20 Feb 2011 by Paul Jackson.
The 2011 Chicago Cubs took the field for the first time today. The 162-game marathon spanning three seasons (and a touch of the fourth for those so fortunate) will begin in about a month and a half, but the year begins now for everyone. The Cubs reported to Spring Training today, Saturday Feb. 19th, to get prepared for the upcoming Major League season. There aren’t too many position battles t...

Alongside Cubs legend, Ron Santo…
Posted on 4 Feb 2011 by Paul Jackson.
Ok, I’ll come out with it. I was raised a New York sports fan. My father was a huge Yankees fan. The passion he felt for the Yankees lives on through me and my passion for the Cubs. He might be rolling over in his grave for my choice to go from rooting on the winningest team in sports history to rooting on the team with losing attached to its lore. But, after the passing of many Yankee greats...
