Reds 4, Cubs 3; Errors mount, and so do the losses by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 7th, 2008 Meet the real goat. The Cubs in September are proving to be a sleep to not fall asleep on, albeit for all the wrong reasons. I did after the seventh actually, having watched Sean Marshall work a great six innings, and the Cubs...

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 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 2, Reds 1; Where did the power go? by Damen Jackson

If you missed last night's game -- that 2-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, you missed, well...nothing. And I do mean nothing, as there was little to like about the loss. I generally disregard the notion when I hear it applied to sports, but this time...

Cubs 5, Reds 0; Why is this man smiling? by Damen Jackson

Your team is 20 games under .500 going into the night's action. Your stars have been traded away. You're on your last coaching stop, and the guy who hired you is long gone. Did I mention that your style doesn't gel with that of the new guy...

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

No nice words to offer... by Damen Jackson

Let me give you some advice; and really, take it for what it's worth. Over the course of 162 games, you'll have days where everything just goes right, for no good reason. And some that just go horribly wrong. Today was the latter, with the Cubs...

Sometimes, just a little luck is what you really need by Damen Jackson

You'll wake up tomorrow, and see that the Cubs beat Aaron Harang and the Reds 3-0 . What you won't see in the box score was that he was excellent, and tonight's "Battle of the Aces" was completely worth two hours and 30 minutes of...

Where's an ugly woman when you need one? by Damen Jackson
