[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.

The Cubs finally gave the fans a relaxing day beating the Indians 6-2 at Wrigley Field finishing off a three game sweep of the Tribe.

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.

Game Sixty-One - Cubs 1 White Sox 4
WP - John Danks (5-5) LP - Ryan Dempster (4-4) Save - Bobby Jenks (15)
Lou Piniella's crew lost their fourth straight game to the White Sox due to the same old and tired offense that cannot produce. The Cubs avoided their sixth shutout of the season with a run in the eighth on a weak ground out to short by Alfonso Soriano that plated Aaron Miles. The Cubs offense managed only five hits all afternoon, one extra base hit, and did ... [Read More]

| Sosa's Steroid Use Shouldn't Change Anything |

Jun 17, 2009 - 2:34 PM - by Cubs News

So, it turns out that Sammy Sosa used steroids. This is not shocking news, unless you are also shocked by the fact that ice is cold.
My opinion of Sammy Sosa has not changed much with this evidence of his use. I suspected that Sammy may have not been all natural while he was hitting homeruns onto the old pink house on Waveland in 1998. Everybody was quick to credit Jeff Pentland, the Cubs hitting coach at... [Read More]

At least three times, maybe more, I've asked Sammy Sosa if he ever has used steroids. Each time, he testily answered no, once stating that the only performance-enhancing substance he took was a "Flintstone vitamin." He had this goofy, cartoonish way about him that made you want to believe him, even though deep down, as someone who noticed that his head and upper body were swelled disproportionately to human reality, I knew he was as s...

Don't tell me you "love" the game Sammy Sosa, you stopped loving the game when you started cheating the game.

Even though both teams have been nothing less than sucktastic this year, the weather is lousy, and due to the sheer arrogance of the Cubs' management that waived the usual requirement that this series be scheduled for a weekend (because, hell, they'll pack the park regardless of the day of the week), it takes a lot to knock the annual Crosstown rivalry out of our minds.

| Rules for displaying the W flag |
|
Jun 16, 2009 - 1:48 PM - by Gator
|
For Cubs fans, the flying of the "W" flag after a victory is a great tradition. (One, by the way, that many White Sox fans loathe, which makes Cubs fans love it even more.) But now it's teetering on the ridiculous.
The custom began in the 1940s. After home games, scoreboard operators would hoist either a white flag with a blue W or a blue flag with a white L, thus announcing the outcome to neighbors and elevated-train riders.
But the flags have since spread far beyo... [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...
