[LEFT]The Braves snapped the Cubs four game winning steak tonight, 2-0, behind the pitching of Javier Vazquez and three relievers. The offense appeared to revert back to old habits of not being able to get the big hit in the clutch, stranding 11 runners on the evening.

Just when you thought the Cubs couldn't top Thursday's comeback against the cross town hated White Sox, they pulled off an even more improbable comeback on Friday afternoon at the Friendly Confines.

Thursday afternoon there was pandemonium at Wrigley Field after the Cubs rallied from a four run deficit with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning on back to back home runs from Derrek Lee and Geovany Soto. Lee hit a three run shot into the basket in right center, before Soto connected on a 1-1 pitch sending it up into the left center field bleachers to tie the game at 5 apiece.

[B][SIZE="3"]If[/SIZE][/B] all the reports are true, it's my opinion that any player caught cheating should be banned from the game with 0% chance of making the HOF. I don't know how any fan can stand up for any of these players. They have cheated us the fans and most importantly they have disgraced the game that made them who they are.

Joe Torre running Ramon Troncoso back out for the ninth inning was a thoughtful gift. How rude of the Cubs not to accept it.
A simple base hit from Scales or Fox in the ninth gives the Cubs a three-game winning streak and a confidence boost against the best record in baseball.
Instead, it feels like here we go again with the lack of offense.
Speaking of which, there were plenty of opportunities to win the game before t... [Read More]

Lou Piniella's crew dropped back to .500 on the season after failing to capitalize in the eighth and ninth innings on Thursday night. Randy Wolf held the Cubs' offense in check and had a five-hit shutout through seven innings. Bobby Scales pinch hit for Mike Fontenot to start the eighth. Scales quickly fell behind 0-2 against the veteran southpaw. Scales worked the count back to 3-2 then lifted Wolf's next pitch just over the wall in left center.

| So Many Questions |

When the Cubs get swept by the Cardinals as easily as one would cut warm butter with a lightsaber, one starts to dwell on all sorts of questions.
- Is Lou serious when he starts talking about putting Soriano at second base?
- When did Adam Wainright and Joel Piniero become the next Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson?
- Who the hell is Brian Barden and how is he batting .533 against the Cubs and .176 against the rest of the league?<

What a terrible series for Chicago. The Cubs matched its two runs scored with two errors, wasted two more quality starts, and fell two games behind St. Louis in the Central. Obviously, the lack of hitting is killing the Cubs... [Read More]

So we've just been swept by the Cardinals. The Cardinals! Just saying it leaves a sour taste in my mouth (a flavor not unlike a warm skunky Budweiser). Now what? Do you:
a) find ledge, jump off
b) find oven, insert head
c) find pills, add booze
d) find crotchal region, masturbate like the plane's going down
If you chose C or D, I want to party with you. However, the correct answer is, of course, A and/or B. You know... [Read More]

| Clean Shaven by Reed Johnson |

No more beard. No goatee. I've got a little scruff under my chin right now. That's it. There's nothing to it. I don't feel like I'm struggling and need to shave to get hits or anything like that. I feel comfortable at the plate and feel good at the plate. In the past, I've stuck with it through the good times and bad times. I'm not a superstitious guy anyways. The beard doesn't have much to do with that.
It grows pretty fast. By the time I get back to ... [Read More]

Ok this is getting just a little to ridiculous. I understand a guy hitting .200 in April and saying, "Hey it's early, he'll bust out of it".
But we are now more than half way through May, and the...
