Cardinals Falling
Now that Spring Training has hit nearly mid season, the Cardinals, already weak in depth, have lost four of their main starters: David Eckstein, Adam Kennedy, Jim Edmonds, and Juan Encarnacion. Eckstein came out of the first game with a strained oblique muscle. Adam Kennedy has yet to play his...
Decades of Excellence: Cardinal Center Fielders
The Cardinals have had a legacy of good center fielders over the years - in the 40's it was Terry Moore, in the 60's it was Flood, in the 80's McGee, Ray Lankford in the 90's and for much of our current decade, Jim Edmonds. We won't include Moore at the moment, Rally's Historical WAR database...
The Day After: Cubs 5, Cardinals 1
On yet another picturebook gorgeous end-of-summer (the equinox passes tomorrow, putting us astronomically as well as meterologically into autumn) afternoon, the Iowa Cubs defeated the Cardinals 5-1, winning yet another series and reducing their magic number (yes, there's still one left) for...
One Hundred Years: Cubs 5, Cardinals 4
It NEVER gets old! Maybe fans in Atlanta got blasé about playoff appearances after a long time -- and they shouldn't have, because they are always precious and special -- but I can tell you that I haven't, and I'm sure you haven't, and clinching the NL Central title this afternoon with a 5-4 win...
Success: Cubs 6, Cardinals 2
The Cubs finished up yet another successful homestand with a convincing 6-2 win over the Cardinals last night; they won their fourth straight series and starting with the last game of the Marlins series, when they came from behind to win 9-6, they are 11-3. It likely won't happen this way, but...
"Nothing This Team Does Surprises Me Any More": Cubs 3, Cardinals 2
That's in quotes because it's not my line, it's Mike's -- that's what he said just after Henry Blanco lined a single just over Cesar Izturis' head with the bases loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the 11th inning, giving the Cubs an excruciatingly exciting 3-2 win over the Cardinals, their...
SWEEP! -- Cubs 11, Brewers 4
MILWAUKEE -- There comes a time in virtually every season put together by a championship team to which you can look back and say, "That was the play -- or the game -- or the series -- where it all came together." It is, of course, far too early -- there remain two months in the regular season,...
Some Days... Cubs 2, Giants 4
If the Cubs' attempted comeback in the 9th inning today -- they did manage to get the tying run on base with one out -- had been successful, I'd have thrown up my hands in amazement, and there's already been a sufficient amount of amazement in this so-far-wonderful season. They didn't, and you...
Reinforcements: Cubs 6, Giants 5
Thank heavens, injured and absent Cubs will begin to return today. Aramis Ramirez, in the Dominican Republic the last three days for the birth of a child, will return in time for today's odd-starting-time 4 pm (PDT) game, and Reed Johnson will be activated from the DL (starting the guessing...
A Team Effort: Cubs 7, Orioles 4
This recap is going to be pretty short because: a) my computer kept crashing this morning any time I opened IE, so I finally gave up and am using Firefox for this; b) there's going to be another game thread up in a couple of hours for the day game today; and c) the Cubs made quick work of the...
