Lou’s Crew Mailed Another One In – Cubs 1 Astros 8

July 28, 2010 7:54 pm By Neil Leave a Comment

Game One Hundred Two - Cubs 1 Astros 8 WP - Bud Norris (3-7) LP - Randy Wells (5-8) Save - None For the second game in a row the Cubs pathetic offense managed only one run. One bleepin' run against Bud Norris and company. The Cubs have scored only two runs in the last nine innings and lost for the eighth time to the Houston Astros this season (4-8). Randy Wells clearly did not have it early on. While Wells did not allow a run and surrendered only one hit through the first five innings, Wells … [Read more...]

Thank You Theodore – Cubs 1 Astros 6

July 27, 2010 10:34 pm By Neil Leave a Comment

Game One Hundred One - Cubs 1 Astros 6 WP - Brett Myers (8-6) LP - Andrew Cashner (1-4) Save - None Once again Ted Lilly did everything he could to post a win ... and once again the offense gave him zero support. In what was likely Ted Lilly's last game in a Cubs' uniform he left with two outs in the sixth after not allowing a run. Ted Lilly entered Tuesday night with the lowest run support in all of baseball ... and the Cubs' pathetic offense did not disappoint. Lilly received a no decision … [Read more...]

Nothing Clutch About These Cubs – Cubs 3 Astros 4

July 21, 2010 8:30 pm By Neil Leave a Comment

Game Ninety-Six - Cubs 3 Astros 4 - 12 innings WP - Brandon Lyon (6-4) LP - Bobby Howry (1-3) Save - Gustavo Chacin (1) What a difference 15 hours can make. A day after one of the more memorable comebacks during the Lou Piniella Era, the Cubs fell crashing back to earth Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley. In a game that took nearly four hours to complete, the Cubs pathetic offense left another win on base. Lou's crew pounded out 12 hits and managed just three runs in route to their 21st one-run … [Read more...]

Silva One and Done – Cubs 5 Astros 11

July 19, 2010 10:16 pm By Neil Leave a Comment

Game Ninety-Four - Cubs 5 Astros 11 WP - Wandy Rodriguez (7-11) LP - Carlos Silva (9-4) Save - None The Cubs have seen why the Mariners were so eager to rid themselves of Carlos Silva in his last two starts. Carlos Silva was beyond horrible once again and followed up his 1 1/3 outing versus the Dodgers with a one-inning performance on Monday night. Carlos Silva allowed five runs on seven hits with a pair of walks in the first inning ... and set the tone for the game. The Astros sent 11 to the … [Read more...]

A Big Night for the Cubs Big Bats – Cubs 12 Phillies 6

July 15, 2010 11:25 pm By Neil Leave a Comment

Game Ninety - Cubs 12 Phillies 6 WP - Ryan Dempster (8-7) LP - Jamie Moyer (9-9) Save - None Thursday night began like so many for the Cubs in the first half. Before the offense ever stepped to the plate, the Cubs found themselves in a 2-0 hole. Ryan Howard launched the first of his two two-run homers on the night off Ryan Dempster just four minutes into the game. Howard's homer ended up on Sheffield Avenue and it appeared the Cubs second half was going to start the way the first half ended. … [Read more...]

A Fitting End to the Cubs First Half – Cubs 0 Dodgers 7

July 11, 2010 10:07 pm By Neil Leave a Comment

Game Eighty-Nine - Cubs 0 Dodgers 7 WP - Vicente Padilla (4-2) LP - Carlos Silva (9-3) Save - None All of the issues that led to the Cubs horrible first half were on full display Sunday night. Poor defense and fundamentals, little to no offense, over aggressiveness at the plate, no runs in the first inning ... the list could go on and on. The Cubs' pathetic offense managed just four hits and two of those came in the ninth inning. Only six runners reached base in nine innings and twice the Cubs … [Read more...]

An Unhappy Ending for the Cubs in La-La Land – Cubs 7 Dodgers 9

July 10, 2010 12:53 am By Neil Leave a Comment

Game Eighty-Seven - Cubs 7 Dodgers 9 WP - Chad Billingsley (7-4) LP - Ted Lilly (3-8) Save - None The Cubs dropped game two Friday night in the City of Angels after Ted Lilly, Mitch Atkins and Bobby Howry gave up nine runs to the Dodgers in the first six innings. The Cubs made a game of it late and scored four runs off the Dodgers' pen in the eighth and ninth. The Cubs brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth, but Jonathan Broxton struck out Tyler Colvin to end the game. Friday night … [Read more...]

Another Week … Cubs Still a Joke

July 7, 2010 3:00 am By Brian McCabe Leave a Comment

I am rambling today. That's right. This has become such a joke, I don't think I can concentrate on the Cubs long enough to come up with more than one complete sentence or half of a complete thought. I know this is very pathetic, but it is because the Cubs are rubbing off on me, and they are about the most pathetic thing around. … [Read more...]

Home Run Derby at Wrigley Field – Cubs 3 Reds 14

July 4, 2010 5:09 pm By Neil Leave a Comment

Game Eighty-Two - Cubs 3 Reds 14 WP - Mike Leake (6-1) LP - Ted Lilly (3-7) Save - None The Cincinnati Reds embarrassed the Chicago Cubs once again on Sunday afternoon. The Reds won the four-game series, 3-1, and broke the game open again in the seventh inning. The Reds took a 5-3 lead into the seventh then scored eight runs after two outs and nobody on. Brandon Phillips, Jonny Gomes, Corky Miller and Drew Stubbs all went deep before the Cubs could record the third out in the inning. Dusty … [Read more...]

Lou’s Lollygaggers Find Another Way to Lose – Cubs 0 Reds 12

July 2, 2010 4:50 pm By Neil Leave a Comment

Game Eighty - Cubs 0 Reds 12 WP - Bronson Arroyo (8-4) LP - Ryan Dempster (6-7) Save - None The Cubs offense was pathetic once again Friday afternoon. Lou Piniella's crew managed only two hits and two walks through the first six innings ... but they found themselves down by a 1-0 score. Ryan Dempster was sharp and the Reds had managed only two hits in six innings ... an infield single by Drew Stubbs and a solo homer by Brandon Phillips. That all changed after one of the ugliest half innings in … [Read more...]
