Cubs 8, Pirates 5; Just come on home boys by Damen Jackson

Filed:September 9th, 2009 Source:Cubbie Nation I consider the Pittsburgh Pirates a balm. A cure-all, really. Whatever is wrong with your team, sprinkle in a series with the Pirates, and apply liberally. Need a little offense? Try that pitching staff,...

Filed:August 15th, 2009 Tom Gorzelanny works in the first inning of Saturday's 3-1 Cubs win (Cubbie Nation) Lastings Milledge? Brian Bixler? Steve Pearce? Seriously, I had to rub my eyes and think about it a second to confirm that the Cubs weren't...

Cubs 4, Pirates 1; Wells wins going away by Damen Jackson

Cubs starter Randy Wells (Cubbie Nation/file) Filed:June 30th, 2009 I'll tell you a story. Back in March I had occasion to chat with a few very nice young ladies in one of Chicago's tonier nightspots. We talked for awhile, I explained what I do...

Cubs 3, Pirates 1; Harden sharp in streak-busting win by Damen Jackson

Filed:June 29th, 2009 Cubs starter RIch Harden (Cubbie Nation/file) Quick, uneventful, and successful. That is how I prefer all games against the Pirates, and exactly what the Cubs delivered Monday, winning 3-1 in an unofficial 2:18. Thank you, Rich Harden...

Cubs 12, Pirates 3; He's baacckk!! by Damen Jackson

Ted Lilly went seven strong innings for his 13th win of the season, and Chicago hitters pounded out 17 hits -- including three by Kosuke Fukudome, as the Cubs beat the Pirates 12-3. The Cubs now enjoy a five-game lead over idle Milwaukee, with 31 left...

Cubs 8, Pirates 5; This is my boomstick!! by Damen Jackson

Reed Johnson hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning Sunday -- the first of back-to-back shots -- as the Cubs survived a late rally by the Pirates to win 8-5. The Cubs have now won seven of their last 10. Maybe we should get something out of the way...

This Wood was worse than the maple bats by Damen Jackson

After going 14 innings last night in a 5-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates , you, I, and the Cubs team are likely ready to put this game down, and move on. There's a 12:35 getaway game this afternoon to boot, so I hope no one spent too much time dwelling...

Well, as I was saying by Damen Jackson

The other day I mentioned what a different look and feel the Cubs lineup has with Reed Johnson and/or Felix Pie in it. Perhaps it's the rally-killing tendencies of Jim Edmonds. Or maybe it's the productivity at the bottom of the lineup. Or maybe...

Two for one by Damen Jackson

Yes, it's a two for one deal, as a LONG 24-hour shift in Philly kept me from my daily post yesterday. The Cubs lost a 7-6 thriller on Saturday , but came back nicely to win 4-3 Sunday . I'll let you in on a secret. As a fan, I enjoyed the loss...
