Enhanced Box Score: Giants 4, Cubs 11 – May 13, 2011
Friday the 13th WHAT. Good starting pitching performance? Check. Good production at the top of the lineup? Check. Good situational hitting? Check. The Cubs just made my evening – is that sad, or awesome?
Randy Wells is Headed to Peoria
As you enjoy watching the Cubs take it to the Giants, here’s some more good news for your Friday evening: Randy Wells’ rehab in Arizona has been a success, and he’s finally headed out on a minor league rehab stint. Wells will start this Tuesday for the Peoria Chiefs, and, although another start or two [...]
Series Preview: Giants v. Cubs, May 13 – May 15, 2011
The Chicago Cubs limp toward the conclusion of their dramatically unsuccessful homestand with a three-game set against the San Francisco Giants. Even a series win would do little to salvage what was a pretty bad stretch of baseball. By way of reminder, the Series Preview hooks you up with what you need to know about [...]
Andrew Cashner Back to the Bullpen? and Other Terrifying Bullets – May 13, 2011
It’s Friday the 13th, and the Chicago Cubs are expected to lick their Red-and-Cardinal-induced wounds against a team that leads the NL West and has won six in a row. That’s terrifying. Also terrifying? I hope this is just Bruce Levine shooting from the hip, but, in a short article mentioning Randy Wells going out [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cardinals 9, Cubs 1 – May 12, 2011
You’ll forgive the delay in today’s EBS – the beer in which I was drowning my frustration tasted too good to think about discussing this shit show. Actually, there isn’t much to discuss. It was a whoopin’. At least it counts as only one loss.
Koyie Hill for President and Other Bullets – May 12, 2011
It’s always nice to go into the third game of a series with a chance to win the series, but beating Jaime Garcia today – behind Casey Coleman facing the Cardinal lineup – is going to be a tall task. Perhaps Jim Hendry can hug Garcia before the game and throw everyone off. Heck, if [...]
Enhanced Box Score: Cardinals 4, Cubs 11 – May 11, 2011
If I’m reading my Mayan calendar right, with the Cubs scoring 11 on May 11, 2011, we can look forward to a 30-run explosion on June 30, 2030 against the Pirates. Swoot. The Cubs won the one game this series that they were expected to win – can’t you see the slogan now? Chicago Cubs: [...]
Obsessive Albert Pujols Watch: The (Meaningless) Hug
By Brett on May 12, 2011
And here I thought I was obsessive. Clearly, I’ve underestimated the media’s desire to make mountains out of mole hill-sized hugs. In case you missed it (and you might of, because I gave it only a passing reference in a bullets post), Jim Hendry and Albert Pujols hugged on Tuesday. And then the world collapsed [...]
