Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 12, Brewers 2 – April 25, 2010
Apparently the Brewers are to the Cubs as the Cubs are to every other team in the National League. Additionally: every single homer the Cubs hit today was a bomb. There were no cheapies. Tweet
It’s the Iowa Bullpen for Jeff Samardzija
When the Chicago Cubs sent disappointing pitcher Jeff Samardzija down to AAA Iowa yesterday, it was unclear whether he would revert to starting, or would remain a reliever. Reliever it is. One thing the Cubs won’t do with Samardzija is put him in Iowa’s starting rotation. They’ll keep him in the pen. In the past, [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 5, Brewers 1 – April 24, 2010
Welcome back, Mr. Lilly. This game showed us exactly what has changed with Lilly’s return – Lilly, himself, dominated as we’ve come to expect, and Carlos Zambrano came out of the pen to preserve a lead. Preserve the lead he did… but he did give up the Brewers’ only run, and allowed plenty of baserunners. [...]
Jeff Samardzija To Iowa
Today the Chicago Cubs activated Ted Lilly, so they had to make a corresponding move. We always knew one of the relievers would head out, but until Carlos Zambrano was moved to the pen, it was assumed that it would be a lefty heading out. The one good thing about Zambrano going to the pen? [...]
Minor League Pitching Must Have Offended Starlin Castro
Chicago Cubs shortstop prospect Starlin Castro – now officially the top prospect in the Cubs’ system – is beating AA pitching like a glorified tee-ball tee. Of course, expectations need to remain tempered, and it’s been just 14 games, but in 61 at bats, Castro has truly been incredible. He’s sporting a .426 average and [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 8, Brewers 1 – April 23, 2010
Apparently the Brewers are the only team off whom the Cubs can score consistently. The lineup certainly didn’t inspire confidence, but they came through. And did you see Tyler Colvin’s home run? That thing was a bomb. Tweet
Series Preview: Cubs v. Brewers, April 23 – April 25, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs head out to face the Milwaukee Brewers for the second time on the young season. Miller Park usually plays like Wrigley North, so it should be a fine reception for the Cubs. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to [...]
College Football Officially Heads to Wrigley
They’d been talking about it for a while now, but it became official yesterday: the Northwestern Wildcats and the Illinois Fighting Illini will square off at Wrigley Field on November 20. The home of the Chicago Bears from 1921 to 1970, Wrigley Field again will feature goal posts and end zones as Illinois and Northwestern [...]
