I had come close to giving up on the Cubs. I expected a monumental melt-down. And until last Wednesday, we had no reason to not expect that meltdown. I mean…swept by the Astros at home, then lose 2 of 3 in Cincy and then losing the opener to the Cardinals. This is it, right? The [...]

The Cubs have successfully sucked the life out of me after this weekend. The only thing keeping me from a complete meltdown after being swept by the White Sox is that the Cubs swept them the weekend before. The White Sox hit the cover off the ball and our pitching staff

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

Ahh, the Cincinnati reds announcer whining about cub fans. He’s still upset for contract issues relating to his son when he announced for the cubbies. He also doesn’t have a whole lot to root for lately for the Reds teams. A hall of famer?

* 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”,
