Series Preview: Brewers v. Cubs, August 2 – August 4, 2010
It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs welcome the Milwaukee Brewers to Wrigley Field – still the one team, outside of Arizona, against whom the Cubs have played well this year. The Brewers didn’t conduct a sell-off, so they’ll be at full-strength. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The [...]
Series Preview: Cubs v. Rockies, July 30 – August 1, 2010
The Chicago Cubs head out to Denver to take on a team nearly as disappointing (recently) as the Cubs, the Colorado Rockies. At least it’s really pretty out there. Shrug. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need [...]
Series Preview: Phillies v. Cubs, July 15 – July 18, 2010
It’s series preview time again as the second half begins, and the Chicago Cubs are set to DOMINATE! Ha. Snap. But seriously, the Cubs welcome the Philadelphia Phillies to Wrigley for a four-game set. You should probably set your phasers to “lose,” as any glimmer of hope at this point in the season will be [...]
Zambranogate: Carlos Won’t Be Back Until After All Star Break
Although we aren’t yet sure when Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano will return to the team, we know that it won’t be for a while. Zambrano, 29, moves today from the suspended list without pay to the restricted list with pay, with a mandatory order to undergo treatment to control the emotional outbursts that have [...]
Series Preview: Cubs v. White Sox, June 25 – June 27, 2010
The excitement of the BP Environmentally-Friendly Crosstown Cup is reaching a FEVER PITCH. Given this season’s performance of the two, er, one of the Chicago clubs, I’d say it’s a fitting that the rivalry is sponsored by a company associated, at present, with an oozing flow of oily sludge. Time for the Series Preview. The [...]
God’s Wrath Watch: Carlos Silva’s Strained Hammy Will Keep Him Out a Few Days
Minor injury news in the rotation – Carlos Silva is going to miss his scheduled start this week against his former team, the Seattle Mariners, while he rests a mildly strained hamstring. He hurt it this weekend against the Angels, resulting in an early removal from the game. The hope was the early exit and [...]
Bob Brenly Rips Derrek Lee
Derrek Lee – who had a great game last night – was absolutely brutal on Tuesday. In that game, he was hitless, and made two errors that led to three runs. All in all, it was an atrocious, but forgettable performance. But Chicago Cubs color man Bob Brenly had enough to say about it yesterday [...]
Series Preview: Athletics v. Cubs, June 15 – June 17, 2010
The Chicago Cubs begin their second AL West interleague series today as the Oakland Athletics head to Wrigley. Hopefully the Cubs play the Athletics as well as they played their AL West chums, the Texas Rangers. Time for the Series Preview. The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you [...]
