Cubs, 3, Dodgers 1; Cubs still not good, but lucky by Damen Jackson

Filed:August 23rd, 2009 Cubs infielder Jake Fox (Cubbie Nation/file) Well, in the end the Cubs were able to salvage some semblance of dignity on this latest road trip, using seven innings of one run ball, and a 4-4 day from Jake Fox to beat the Dodgers...

Dodgers 8, Cubs 2; Curse of Joe Morgan by Damen Jackson

Dodgers reliever Ramon Troncoso (Cubbie Nation/file) Filed:May 31st, 2009 The Dodgers beat on starter Sean Marshall early, and Eric Milton stymied the Cubs over 5 1/3 innings, as the Dodgers split the series with an 8-2 win Sunday. Six pitches. That's...

Cubs beat Dodgers 7-0 in a rout by Damen Jackson

Filed:May 30th, 2009 This time, it's the Dodgers feeling blue as the Cubs win 7-0 (Cubbie Nation/file) Last season, the Dodgers spoke almost boastfully of how well they scouted Ryan Dempster, using advanced reports to help beat the Cubs 7-2 in Game...

Dodgers 3, Cubs 1; Dream another dream... by Damen Jackson

Filed: October 5th, 2008 This dream is over. It died when Russell Martin and company burned the Cubs yet again, this time in a series-ending 3-1 loss that will have many questioning whether it's time to blow this team up. Since I woke up so frustrated...

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...

Welcome to the Fall by Damen Jackson

Filed: October 1st, 2008 I should have known. My breakfast was interrupted yesterday by a rather loud man behind me on his cell phone, proclaiming that the White Sox would beat the Twins senseless in the tiebreaker game Tuesday night. Now, if you've...

Brewers 3, Cubs 1; Bring on the Dodgers by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 28th, 2008 Loathing Bob Howry has gone from a Cubbie Nation pastime to a true national endeavor. Ryan Braun hit him for a two-run home run in the eighth Sunday, to propel the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-1 victory. Coupled with the Mets 4...

When Jason is on...and he was on! by Damen Jackson

Sometimes, I like to put everything down, and just watch a ballgame. Those who have seen me at Wrigley know what I mean. Camera, scorecards, notebook, cellphone, etc. It helps you remember for a bit all those little, subtle things that made you a fan...

Funny, they didn't look like the best team in baseball by Damen Jackson

The Cubs dropped a collective dud, and Carlos Zambrano melted down -- on and off the field -- as the Cubs embarrassed themselves in front of a national audience, losing 7-3 to the Dodgers yesterday in L.A. There wasn't a single facet of the game yesterday...

Fukudome!!! Fukudome!!! by Damen Jackson

Kosuke Fukudome saved the Cubs late with a 9th-inning single to give them the lead for good, and make a winner of Bob Howry, as the Cubs won 5-4 over the Dodgers last night. All you can really say is thank you. Oh, and that it shouldn't be this hard;...

Cubs win 2-1 in 10 innings by Damen Jackson

I'm out of exclamations. I've used many to describe the 2008 Cubs team, and I'm fresh out for the moment. Shame too, as they again found a way to win last night, with Alfonso Soriano hitting a game-winning single to left, giving the Cubs a...

Gallagher, Fukudome, and how not to win by Damen Jackson

It doesn't seem to matter what the condition, situation, team, or even how they do. Get the Cubs at Wrigley Field, and they are just going to find a way to beat you. Known for offensive explosions at home early on, they won again 3-1 last night in...
