Cubs 12, Pirates 3; He's baacckk!! by Damen Jackson

Ted Lilly went seven strong innings for his 13th win of the season, and Chicago hitters pounded out 17 hits -- including three by Kosuke Fukudome, as the Cubs beat the Pirates 12-3. The Cubs now enjoy a five-game lead over idle Milwaukee, with 31 left...

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 7, Brewers 1; Two down... by Damen Jackson

The Cubs used a big five-run 6th inning, and a Cy-Young caliber performance from starter Carlos Zambrano to dispatch the Milwaukee Brewers 7-1 on Tuesday. The win assures the Cubs of not only at least a series split, but that they will return to Wrigley...

Cubs 5, Reds 1; It's good to beat up on bad teams by Damen Jackson

Carlos Zambrano combined with Carlos Marmol and Kerry Wood for a two-hitter, and the Cubs survived a 9th-inning scare to beat the Reds 5-1 at Wrigley Wednesday night. Evidently, Zambrano shares the spotlight with no one Rich Harden, as this was his game...

Cubs win 7-4; look to start a new streak at home by Damen Jackson

Wow, that didn't take long. After losing a 7-5 gut wrencher Tuesday, the Cubs bounced back in a hurry, dispatching the Orioles 7-4 last night in front of 40,754. It's getting awfully thin around here. Just a day after placing Reed Johnson on the...

The Anti-Heroes by Damen Jackson

Yeah right. Despite staging a furious comeback to make this game much more interesting than it should have been, the Cubs lost 7-5 to the Orioles last night in which no less than five Cubs had an opportunity to take this game. And not one did. Let's...

Cubs win 2-1 in 10 innings by Damen Jackson

I'm out of exclamations. I've used many to describe the 2008 Cubs team, and I'm fresh out for the moment. Shame too, as they again found a way to win last night, with Alfonso Soriano hitting a game-winning single to left, giving the Cubs a...

Gallagher, Fukudome, and how not to win by Damen Jackson

It doesn't seem to matter what the condition, situation, team, or even how they do. Get the Cubs at Wrigley Field, and they are just going to find a way to beat you. Known for offensive explosions at home early on, they won again 3-1 last night in...

A Memorial Day gift by Damen Jackson

Fairly quick, exciting, and a win. It's the best Memorial Day present Cubs fans could have gotten today, as the Cubs "outdueled" the Dodgers to win 3-1. You know what I mean. If you just looked at the line, you'd think this was just...
