The Cubs go for the series win and Zambrano goes for lucky win number 13. A win today and the Cubs go 14-3-1 at series in Wrigley and their current 40-15 mark at home is their best start at Wrigley since 1916...which is when Wrigley opened. Some more fun with game notes...

  • Cubs center fielders have combined for  a league-leading .368 OBP and the Reed/Edmonds combo at center field has combined to hit .304 with 15 home runs and 65 RBI's.
  • The Cubs haven't committed an error in 7 straight games.
  • When the Cubs win, they've averaged 7.1 runs per game, when they lose: 2.6.

I wanted to take an opportunity to congratulate some of our authors/commenters on their selection into the ACB Grand Tournament of Douche. Apparently they've selected the 64 douchiest folks, in their minds, from all Cub-related internets. He was even smart enough to realize that he should appear in it himself. http://www.anothercubsblog.net/images/uploads/final-brackets.jpg Rob G. somehow pulled down a 2 seed in the Chuck from Ivy Chat bracket. He'll oppose Ryno from ACB in the 1st round. Crunch is a 5 seed in San Diego Smooth Jazz Man from BCB bracket. He drew Al Yellon's inside source in the first round. Chad is surprisingly a 14 in the same bracket, and will face Jacob from BrewCrewBall. My first round upset special is mannytrillo, a 14 seed in the Gaius Marius from 1060 West bracket. manny's drawn Kinky Reggae from BCB. Also, a post-mortem congrats to John Hill, whose stay should be short, as he's the 9 seed in the Al Yellon bracket. He'll get Yellon in the 2nd round if he can get by Hardcore Legend from BCB.

funny thing is maddog used to run a site with a racist admin (there and on other forum sites) at 1908andcounting. wonder why THAT GUY is not on the list...or maybe he is under another one of those weird names. lol...internet. maddog and "his friend" must remember that whole calling-them-out and massive editing they did on 1908andcounting to cover asses when i threatened to go to school newspapers and administrators about having views like that while teaching at a public institution of learning. btw...lol...internet.

Speaking of fine internet moments of crunch, I humbly suggest we extend the same gift crunch gave to the Brewers to the next conquered team in a series--the hapless Bucs: ░░░░░░░▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░ ░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░ ░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒██▒▒▒▒▒██▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░▐▌░ ░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒██▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒██▒▒▒▒▒░░░▐▌░ ░░░░▒▒▒██▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒██▒▒▒░░████ ░░░░▒██▒▒▒████▒▒▒████▒▒▒██▒░░░██░ ░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░██░ ░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒████░ ░██▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█████████▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░ ██░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░ ██░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░ ██░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░ ██░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░██░░░██░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░██████░░░██████░░░░░░░░░░ Thanks!

Z was pulled in the 6th, for no apparent reason. Lou came out to the mound at the start, appearing to stall to get Smard ready. Kasper speculating that his prior pitch counts (128, 118?) may be part of the reason.

Submitted by Cubster on Sun, 08/03/2008 - 08:11 pm

22 games over .500 is new season high water mark, Cubs haven't been this far above .500 since 1989. 156 Sun, Sep 24 box CHC PIT W 4-2 89-67 1 up 4.0 2:43 S Wilson J Robinson 37,904 ++++ (in 1989, they lost the next game but finished the season at 24 games over .500 which was their high water mark) The 1984 team was 32 games over .500 on Sept 15th...so that's a nice target to shoot for.

Wonder if Lou figured..."Z's qualified for the W, there's no way that Pirates team is gonna score 5 runs, and Z's next start is against the Cards, so let's give him a short day."

What a sorry, no account fraud. Boy am I glad that Dusty, and his culture of excuse is infecting another team in our own division. Hopefully he ends up in St. Louis or Milwaukee next.

Nothing like throwing the guy who hired you under a bus. But at least Dusty cleared a couple things up. If I follow his 2008 logic, (1)the 2003 Cubs weren't "his" team either (that team was assembled by Andy MacPhail & Don Baylor and they deserve the credit) (2) the (79-83)2005 and (66-96) 2006 Cubs definitely were.

Like they had a shot at scoring a run that day? They were (i have to assume) emotionally drained from the 4 game sweep and were primed for a let down game. Also, I would care to bet a lot of money that most of, if not the entire team, was playing with a total hangover. I have got to assume that they PARTIED when they got back home Thursday night.

"They were (i have to assume) emotionally drained from the 4 game sweep and were primed for a let down game." Not according to the Trib guys, who want the city to give them more night games after late nights back from road trips. I tend to agree with them (and Lou) on this point, but it's not gonna happen.

Submitted by Dmac on Mon, 08/04/2008 - 08:59 pm

I do agree with your point, Chad - just pointing out the reality that the Trib is using the loss to angle for more weekend night games (because they're soo tired after the trip, but not in any way because of any partaking of alcoholic beverages), rather than admitting the obvious.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

  • Eric S (view)

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
