Ten Things I Think I Think: Let's move on.... by Damen Jackson

Filed: October 10th, 2008 Sigh. I'm over it. And yes, I pretty much needed the entire week away to detox myself of the debacle that was the 2008 NLDS. It doesn't help though being in Philly for the week, where the fans are positively giddy. Even...

Updated:Dodgers 10, Cubs 3; A national embarrassment by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 2nd, 2008 Click here for photos of 2008 NLDS:Game 2 Disgusting. That's the only word that I find appropriate right now to describe the Cubs in Game 2 of the 2008 NLDS. The team had a complete meltdown in front of 42,136 -- and a national...

Dodgers 7, Cubs 2; So much for the afterglow by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 1st, 2008 Ah, there's where he got off to. Ryan Dempster absolutely imploded Wednesday night, walking seven -- including the bases loaded in the 5th -- and serving up a grand glam to James Loney in that same inning. The result? Cubs...

Cubs 5, Brewers 4; And the band played on... by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 16th, 2008 Click here for photos of last night's game. Well, they tried a different manager. Didn't work. CC Sabathia got outdueled, Dale Sveum got out-managed, and the Cubs were just a little better Tuesday night, giving them...

Cubs 4, Cardinals 3; Anyway you can get it... by Damen Jackson

Filed:September 10th, 2008 Just get it. And that about sums up my impression of last night's sorely-needed 4-3 win over the Cardinals. Ted Lilly, again proving to be something of a blessing, picked up his 14th win, going eight innings of one-run ball...

Cubs 6, Nationals 1; Magnificent by Damen Jackson

The Cubs used three home runs -- including a pinch-hit shot by Kosuke Fukudome -- to power themselves to a 6-1 win over the Washington Nationals Sunday afternoon. Chicago is now at a season-high 30 games over .500. I admit it. I watch alot of baseball...

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...
