VICTORY SONG!!!

 Do I sense a new BEARD by three of the bearded bears?!?!

CUBS CRUSH CARDINALS 12-3, Lilly gets 15th win

BREAKING NEWS – Cubs crush Cardinals 12-3.

GO CUBS GO!  Talk about a good old fashioned ass whooping! 

Cubs Pitching.  Ted Lily notched 7 strike-outs and only allowed 3 runs in 7 innings of work.  Wuertz and Bobby Howry each pitched a scoreless inning to finish up the Cubs victory!

 Cubs Hitting.  Lee (18) and Ramirez (22) each homered and Jones went 3-4 with 2 RBI’s.  Craig Monroe added 2 runs in his pitch hit appearance.  Great hitting today, and frankly, it’s about time the Cubbies got there bats into the game!

Bearded Bears in Attendance.  A few of the Bearded Bears were in attendance today and enjoyed the Cubs crushing the Cardinals.  In particular, I’d like to see how Brad Patterson is doing today with two losses today.  First, his beloved Cardinals were slaughtered by the Cubs, and then, the Cameltoes were SHOCKED by F*ck Keyshawn in a stunning upset! 

Dodger Series HUGE for Cubbies this week

Get ready for a WILD ride this week Cubs fans.  This Dodger’s series is HUGE for the Cubs.  The Cubs salvaged the final two games of the Astro’s series after dumping the first 6-1 to Houston.  The Cubs are now 5 games over .500, but Milwaukee and the Cardinals have both improved to above .500 records now as well. NOTE:  I can’t believe I wrote that division contenders are BARELY above .500 in September!  The central is awesome.

ZAMBRANO due for good start – Z needs a good start, period.  He’s fallen to 14-11 with a 4.06 ERA.  These numbers are reflective of a fairly crappy August performance for Z who failed to win in the entire month. 

The Dodgers are starting Esteban Loaiza after claiming him off waivers in a deal with Oakland.   This will be Loaiza’s third start of the season, and his first with the Dodgers.

The Dodgers are in contention for their division, and they’ll make every attempt to win these four games against the Cubs.  However, the Cubs need to win this series in order to stay ahead of the surging Cardinals and resurgent Brewers.

Put on your seat-belts Cubs fans!!!!

Why the Cubs MUST win today!

…The Cubs are gonna win today! 

Why the Cubs must win today, you ask? Because they are way better than the Brewers or the Cardinals.  The Cubs are the best team of our less than stellar NL CENTRAL.  If they lose tonight, Milwaukee moves within 1/2 game, and the Cardinals will be 1 game out if they win and the Cubs lose.  This game is HUGE  and I hope the Cubs take it seriously and WIN!

Rough Night for “Z”  Z was hit hard last night, and the Cub’s collapsed offensively.  They threatened in many innings, but, never made anything happen!  Lilly will go for win 14 tonight against Manny Parra, who’s 0-1 this year. 

 THANKS HOUSTON!  For taking care of business last night against the Cardinals, and beating them.  The Cubs couldn’t come close last night, so we needed (and got) some help from the Astro’s.  The Cardinals didn’t pick up any ground on the Cubbies!

Rich Aurilia – CUBS MVP in 10th!

What’s it feel like to be an ‘honarary Bearded Bear’?  Ask Rich Aurilia of the San Fransisco Giants, becuase he’s been bestowed this elite award.  Why would a Giants player win an award from a website that celebrates athletic excellance with the Cubs and Bears?  Becuase Rich made a key error in the 10th inning, attempting to field a routine grounder.

Eh, this beards for you Rich!

Other good news includes that the Cubs were able to extend their first place lead in the NL Central to a full game!

Well, we’ll look forward to Z taking the mound tomorrow!

GO CUBBIES!

Cardinals Still Suck…

Cardinals Suck!

Cubbies will make it 4 in a row today!

CUBS IN FIRST! GO REDS!

Yee-haw Ya’ll!  I’m loving it!  The CHICAGO CUBS ARE IN FIRST PLACE!  Read and WEEP Cardinal fans!!!

Now, a few things need to happen today for the Cubbies to begin their distancing of these mediocre NL Central Teams:

1) REDS need to beat the BLEWERS today.  This will possibly put a 1.5 game lead up for the Cubbies!

2) CUBS MUST SWEEP the Cardinals.

I’m so excited about the possibility of posting tonight about a CUBS sweep!

Brabson – Patty: HAVE FUN AT THE GAME!!!! GO CUBBIES!!!

Cub’s Bullpen continues to ROCK!

Happy Late Memorial Day!!  Hope everyone’s was good.  The weekend would have been a little better if the Cubs were better than the Bad News Bears.

This weekend has brought up one irrefutable fact for the ’07 Cubs – YOU WILL NOT WIN WITH A PIECE OF CRAP BULLPEN.  Why does the Cubs management never seem to get this little gap corrected? 

Let’s see, the last time the Cubs had a solid bullpen was…. oh yeah….2003….when they were one out from the World Series.  Might I add, that our closer from that season, Joe Borowski is second in the majors in saves in 2007. 

In order to not give myself a coronary, I’m only going to focus on one game, Tuesday May 29, 2007. 

TUESDAY 5.29 GAME
In a quick recap, the Cub’s managed to rally on Theriot’s (PH Homer) 2 run HR in the bottom of the seventh.  However, a DETERMINED Cubs bullpen made sure the Cub’s rally would be short lived.  Tonight’s helper was Wuertz.  To be fair to Wuertz, he’s been the best Cub’s reliever so far this year.  Tonight, he allowed 4 runs on 3 hits, and walked 2.   He was credited with one whole inning worked.  Slap Hands!  His ERA shot up to 3.13.

Here’s an awesome Cubs Bullpen stat, W-L Record: 4-14!  Maybe Wade Miller can chime in with his 10.54 ERA?

 I can’t type anymore about this bullpen.  This team is scoring runs, but ALLOWING too many.
