With the 2-1 win tonight against the Cards in St. Louis, the Cubs win the last series ever between the two clubs in Busch Stadium. They also win the season series at Busch and need one more win next week in Chicago to clinch the season series against the Cards.
The very first game between the […]

This is why I gave up on the Cubs a while ago. When we get craptastic fielding and our bullpen explodes, I can just turn the channel and go about my day and not give myself any more ulcers. I think from now on, I go into each game like we go into […]

As soon as Barrett caught that last strike, he looked down in the glove to make sure it was there. I think he, and, most Cubs fans, expected it to end up in the upper deck and not be the game-winning strikeout. I think Dempster just threw half as many pitches in the […]

When I read […]

The Braves and Nationals are better teams than the Marlins and the Pirates, but two strong outings by […]
