Cubs 5, Brewers 4; And the band played on... by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 16th, 2008 Click here for photos of last night's game. Well, they tried a different manager. Didn't work. CC Sabathia got outdueled, Dale Sveum got out-managed, and the Cubs were just a little better Tuesday night, giving them...

Cubs 14, Reds 9; Cheers and Jeers by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 6th, 2008 The Chicago Cubs broke a six-game losing streak Saturday -- beating the Reds 14-9 -- by getting back to what they've done all year; strong starting pitching, good execution, and capitalizing on shaky opposition pitching...

Cubs 9, Marlins 2; Just chugging along by Damen Jackson

The Cubs, led by a Reed Johnson three-RBI double, slugged their way through a eight-run seventh inning Sunday afternoon, and beat the Marlins 9-2. It was the 14th victory of the season for starter Ryan Dempster, and coupled with a 7-5 walk-off win by...

Cubs 11, Braves 7; You knew it was coming, didn't you? by Damen Jackson

The Cubs jumped out on the Braves 2-0 in the first inning, and cruised from there, winning 11-7 Thursday night at Turner Field. The game however was marred by both a bench-clear altercation in the sixth, and an injury to Aramis Ramirez. Not even Tom Glavine...

Cubs 8, Pirates 5; This is my boomstick!! by Damen Jackson

Reed Johnson hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning Sunday -- the first of back-to-back shots -- as the Cubs survived a late rally by the Pirates to win 8-5. The Cubs have now won seven of their last 10. Maybe we should get something out of the way...

Giants 8, Cubs 3; Rookies gonna kill you quicker than a bullet by Damen Jackson

Happy 4th of July to everyone. I trust the food and drink is flowing, and all is right with your world; well except for what was an ugly 8-3 loss to the Giants last night. Rookies. Nothing to like about them, except for the fact that they only go through...

Jim Edmonds, now you're a Cub by Damen Jackson

Amazing. After years of watching Cubs teams find a way to lose games when it counted, the 2008 Cubs are taking advantage of every opportunity, and winning some of the most exciting and improbable games in recent memory. The latest was a great comeback...

And yet I'm really not worried by Damen Jackson

I'm going to put aside the Cubs fantastic 7-2 win over the Braves last night, and talk a bit about the Alfonso Soriano situation. Ryan Dempster was wonderful, tossing a complete game in the victory. And the Kosuke Fukudome three-run homer in the 1st...

When Jason is on...and he was on! by Damen Jackson

Sometimes, I like to put everything down, and just watch a ballgame. Those who have seen me at Wrigley know what I mean. Camera, scorecards, notebook, cellphone, etc. It helps you remember for a bit all those little, subtle things that made you a fan...

Funny, they didn't look like the best team in baseball by Damen Jackson

The Cubs dropped a collective dud, and Carlos Zambrano melted down -- on and off the field -- as the Cubs embarrassed themselves in front of a national audience, losing 7-3 to the Dodgers yesterday in L.A. There wasn't a single facet of the game yesterday...

He's just so...average by Damen Jackson

Jason Marquis pitched just well enough to win, 13 pitchers almost looked like one too few, and Alfonso Soriano hit a deciding three-run home run in the 8th, as the Cubs outslugged the Padres 9-6 at Petco last night. Yes, that he would be Jason Marquis...

Perfection by Damen Jackson

I can think of very little that went wrong today, and even when it was wrong it got right, as the Cubs put the cap on a perfect homestand, beating the Colorado Rockies 5-3 at Wrigley. And the day was perfect for a number of reasons, not the least of which...
