Mets 6, Cubs 2; A week of anticipation by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 23rd, 2008 Representative. Yeah, right. After having spent a few hours this afternoon chuckling at and enjoying the Cubs great win last night against the Mets, I got to tune in to tonight's game -- sadly, a 6-2 loss -- and see the...

Cubs 5, Astros 0: A fine mess; Zambrano throws a no-hitter by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 14th, 2008 Quick, what do you get when you mix: 1) A team who hasn't played in three days unexpectedly 2) A starter shutdown two weeks ago with tendonitis 3) The game played at a "neutral" site, which in this case is jokingly...

News, notes, and a big thank you by Damen Jackson

Filed:September 9th, 2008 I've said before that the first team to figure out how to win again is going to take this division. Apparently, it doesn't appear that it's going to be the Brewers. Cincinnati rallied late last night to surprise us...

Astros 4, Cubs 0: What? Me Worried? by Damen Jackson

I'm not going to spend a great deal of time on last night's game; a light-hitting, painful debacle that the Cubs lost 3-0. The short story is that the Cubs got a real nice effort from Ryan Dempster, and pretty much nothing from anyone else in...

Astros 9, Cubs 7 f/11; From bad to worse by Damen Jackson

Click here for photos of last night's game. Cubs bats exploded Tuesday with four home runs, but lack of timely hitting, and poor relief proved to be their undoing, as the Astros rallied late to win 9-7 in 11 innings. Starter Carlos Zambrano was lifted...

Cubs 3, Reds 2; The return of Zambrano by Damen Jackson

"Sometimes I need to take my time, and let the ball come out of my hands." That was the best quotable from the post-game press conference with Carlos, as he discussed his do-it-all day today; going seven strong innings, and hitting yet another...

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...

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 6, Marlins 3; Cue that music by Damen Jackson

And fly that flag. The Cubs got back to their winning ways at Wrigley last night - their first game there in nearly two weeks - beating the Florida Marlins 6-3 . It was their second win in a row, and allowed them to continue to stay ahead of the surging...

Astros 4, Cubs 1; This is oh so very Cub by Damen Jackson

Carlos Zambrano walking too many, and Cubs hitters not walking enough, combined to send the Cubs to a 4-1 loss to the Astros Saturday night in Houston. This was the Cubs 3rd straight loss, and coupled with the St. Louis win, reduced their divisional lead...

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 2, Cardinals 1; A gritty, gritty win by Damen Jackson

The rookies got a bit of redemption, and Carlos Zambrano picked up where he left off prior to his DL stint, as the Cubs beat the Cardinals 2-1 Friday night in St. Louis. The victory puts them 3.5 games ahead of St. Louis, and ensures that the Cubs will...

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...
