Enhanced Box Score: Dodgers 2, Cubs 1 – May 28, 2009
Well, the offensive woes are somewhat back. Lots of baserunners, just one run. Frustrating to be that close in the 8th and 9th innings and come up short. Totally wasted another great outing by Randy Wells, too. Tweet
Series Preview: Dodgers v. Cubs, May 28 – May 31, 2009
The Chicago Cubs now host a four-game tilt against the best team in the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Time to see if the Cubs really are turning things around. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you [...]
Ted Lilly is a Liar
Chicago Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly, one of 15 Chicago Cubs currently up for possible fine and suspension by MLB, is a big fat liar according to the MLB ump who tossed him on Monday (in a game Lilly was not starting). “He said I was embarrassing myself, so that’s why I threw him out,” he [...]

Carlos Zambrano to Milton Bradley: Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Insanier
Yeah, so Carlos Zambrano went ape nuts yesterday when a call at the plate didn’t go his way, and he’s probably going to face a little suspension. Quick, how many Cubs are currently having incidents reviewed by MLB disciplinarian Bob Watson? h/t to my good buddies over at the excellent Friendly Blogfines. Tweet
Enhanced Box Score: Pirates 2, Cubs 5 – May 27, 2009
Awww yeeeah. Two wins in a row. How recently did that seem absolutely impossible? Tweet
Remember All Those Roster Moves I Said Would Happen? They Just Did
Not only has Jake Fox been called up from Iowa and Neil Cotts been sent down to AAA, but the Cubs did a whole lot more. Jake Fox, who is hitting .423 with 17 home runs and 50 runs batted in for Triple-A Iowa over 40 games, was called up. Joining the infielder from Iowa [...]
Neil Cotts on His Way Out of Chicago?
Apparently there’s a theme today. Get on board. Left-hander Neal Cotts has just about worn out his welcome with manager Lou Piniella as the only left-hander in the Cubs’ bullpen. Jason Waddell, who signed as a free agent in November, could be called up to replace Cotts. Through Monday’s games, Waddell’s owns a 0-1 record [...]
