Astros 3, Cubs 0; Maybe I should have stayed away by Damen Jackson

Roy Oswalt dominated for eight-plus innings, and the Astros capitalized on just a touch of Jason Marquis wildness during a two-run fourth inning to beat the Cubs 3-0 this Labor Day. The loss was the Cubs third in a row, giving them their first such streak...

Reds 12, Cubs 7; An ugly redeux by Damen Jackson

The Reds chased starter Ted Lilly after 2 2/3 innings, and clubbed seven home runs in route to a 12-7 victory over the Cubs Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field. It was Lilly's shortest outing of the season, and prevented the Cubs from sweeping 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...

Pitching meltdown in loss to Brewers by Damen Jackson

And make no mistake, a pitching meltdown is really what it was last night, as the Brewers jumped out on Jason Marquis early, and slugged their way to a 10-7 win at Wrigley. This was one of those nights that you would have expected a classic 3-2 pitching...

Ten things I think I think - 4/14/08 by Damen Jackson

Welcome again to Ten Things I Think I Think. I have to say there really is nothing quite like April. Really. There is something very therapeutic about sunny days, mild winds (yes, it happens sometimes in Chicago), and weekends of baseball. Baseball. And...
