Dempster looks sharp as Cubs beat Mets 11-1 - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

That's a surprisingly good result for the North Siders...

Big Z sends Cubs to 9-3 win over Mets - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

I have mixed emotions... an injury to one of the game's two knuckleballers is kinda sad... but... that also means he may need a rehab start in my hometown ballpark! And I haven't seen him yet! And I have four tickets that are exchangable for any future game! ... Stars are aligning... maybe...

Ramirez sends Cubs past Pirates, 3-2 - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Wow.

Avoiding a sweep by the Pie-RATS? That's nice work, boys...

mrcoach00 · 06-02-2011, 10:57 PM

Couldn't avoid a sweep by the Astros though. Found a good article that I had to share; pretty much sums up the Cubs season.

Well I was going to Google the rules for Russian Roulette... but...

Thanks for the... er... support?

End of first half-inning at the Cell: After the top of the first inning of the first Cubs-Sox game at U.S. Cellular Field in 2009, Cubs manager Lou Piniella and outfielder Milton Bradley got into a heated argument in the dugout, resulting in Piniella calling Bradley a "piece of (expletive)." After the top of the first of the first Cubs-Sox game at the Cell in 2010, Zambrano got into a heated yelling match with first baseman Derrek Lee, resulting in a team suspension and anger management counseling. What's next on June 20?

mrcoach00 · 06-05-2011, 11:40 AM

You know what really stinks? I was looking for a new challenge in fantasy baseball and there was this 20-team league who had the Cubs as an open team, and you have to keep a minimum of 15 Cubs on your active roster.

I signed up and have managed to stay over .500 in a head-to-head style league. ... ... Until this week. I am down 1 to 11, mostly because we are in the midst of a 5 game losing streak, we're not scoring any runs, and the DL is jammed pack with my best offensive players.

Unfortunately, as the Cubs go, I go. Bummer.

jmm8356 · 06-09-2011, 03:38 AM

Zzzzzzzz...

Zzzzzzzz...

Zzzz... *snort* *sniff* Huh? What? What's that you say, sonny boy? "Nubs vin"? What? ... Oh! ... Oh really? ... Wow... Okay then. Thanks.

...

Zzzzzzzz...

Pena, Ramirez HRs power Cubs to 4-1 win over Reds - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Ramirez, Castro rally Cubs past Brewers 5-4 in 10 - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

So the Cubbies have four wins in June... and two of them (the last two, in fact) are by Jeff Samardzija.

... Methinks that's a bad sign.

What? Oh yeah... Go. Cubs. Go. ... Go. Cubs. Go. ... Hey. Chicago. What. Do. You. ... Zzzzzzz.

Germaniac · 06-15-2011, 06:13 AM

Two tough losses, indeed

And that after sweeping the Cardinals over the week-end at Miller Park.

But then, the Brewers from Miller Park are very different from the Brewers on the road.

Davis pitches Cubs past Yankees 3-1 - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Yankees fan(s), REACTION! [end Larry King voice]

Mwahahahaha!

Chicagofan76 · 06-22-2011, 04:54 AM

So the BP Cup stands at 1 game a piece...both good games even with Ozzie's punting ability lacking.
Hoping Paulie can hit a HR in 5 consecutive games for the Sox record.

mrcoach00 · 06-22-2011, 06:15 PM

didn't he make it 5 last night, which tied the record? #6 would be tonight?

I'm not sure, because I was at the bar last night and the there was no sound.

yes typo on my end.

mrcoach00 · 07-01-2011, 10:22 AM

Wait, what? Two walk-offs in a row against the defending champs? What's that you say? The Cubs actually have a pulse?

It's nice to see a couple of W's, but I still think the only thing saving them from not ending up at the bottom of the division are the hapless Houston Astros.

Chicagofan76 · 07-01-2011, 12:35 PM

Get ready to lose the BP Cup again this yr..Sox taking 2 of 3 this weekend...1 of these days we will actually win 5 of 6 or get the full sweep. Cubs have swept us once but that year we only played you guys for a 1 3 game series
