This is the last day of my summer vacation. I’m a little disappointed that the Cubs don’t have a game today that I can savor as my last of the summer. These days off help a pitching staff, though. I suppose the health of the Cubs are more important than me having the luxury of [...]

Yes, I was at Wrigley for the awful game on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. This game was painful for me to sit through. I am willing to take responsibility for this ugly game. I took

A weekend in Pittsburgh is, well, you know what happened. Although Aramis Ramirez, the Cub RBI machine got key hits in both of the Cubs’ losses, the Cubbies found ways to lose. A lost fly ball

Jon Lieber gets his first start of the year and he promptly gives up 4 HR’s in one inning. As I am typing this, he is not yet out of the second inning, so that total could change.
* I really have to agree with what Cubfan1452 said

Ok, I guess that I should re-clarify myself. I never said Dusty was a good manager. I was just as dissapointed as everyone else at not making the playoffs in 2004. It hurt me just as bad to watch us be terrible in the ensuing years. My only point is that

I was prompted by Manstrength’s weak defending of Dusty Baker to look at some stats that I think are are indicative of a much more well-rounded team under Piniella than what the Cubs were under Baker. Yes, we are only 19 games into this season, and that must be taken into account. However, 19 games is [...]

Dusty- Alright, I’m not saying the guy was good.. but he’s not that bad. I mean, lets give him some credit where some credit is due.. He was at the helm when the Cubs had back to back winning seasons for the first time since 1972. Alright. Seriously, give the guy some credit. I’m not [...]

* The Cubs have a .643 winning percentage. If they were in any division in the American League, they would be in first place. We destroyed the Reds last night and have the opportunity to sweep them today. This weekend, we face the Pirates. A team that we just swept at their place last week. [...]

Welcome back to Wrigley Field, Dusty. I hope to see some of those stellar management skills in the next three days. So you know, if you have any guys on the club that aren’t necessarily the best players on the roster, but you like because they are “your guys”,
