Cubs 11, Nationals 3; I liked everything that I saw by Damen Jackson

Filed:July 19th, 2009 Cubs third baseman Jake Fox (Cubbie Nation/file) I know I'm not supposed to be impressed when the home team beats up on the likes of the Washington Nationals. Worst team in baseball. Organization in disarray. Interim (and not...

Braves 4, Cubs 1:Can we go find a bat now? by Damen Jackson

Filed:July 8th, 2009 Atlanta Brave Jeff Francoeur (Cubbie Nation/file) Admit it; it's been a rough week watching the Cubs. For one day -- Monday -- all seemed to be right with the world. Everyone was healthy. The team played well, and won. The Tribune...

Mets 7, Cubs 6; So much for the auditions by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 25th, 2008 Sigh. How many more games until the playoffs? Playing out the string sounds good for a division winner, but for fans it's absolutely dreadful. Too many no-talents on the field. Too many guys playing out of their comfort...

Keep clogging up those bases... by Damen Jackson

It wasn't long ago that a game like this one would have ended in a loss. One of the better left handers in the league on the mound, a little wilder than normal, and previous teams would have first pitch swung themselves silly. Today however, they...
