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

Well, as I was saying by Damen Jackson

The other day I mentioned what a different look and feel the Cubs lineup has with Reed Johnson and/or Felix Pie in it. Perhaps it's the rally-killing tendencies of Jim Edmonds. Or maybe it's the productivity at the bottom of the lineup. Or maybe...

Back to the grind by Damen Jackson

And I mean the good sort; grinding out tough at-bats, extending starting pitchers, and using long innings to wear out bullpens. Which is exactly what the Cubs did in beating the Padres 12-3 last night . And it was something very special. First, you know...
