CUBS REPORT CARD: Outfielders
While the season ended sooner than we would have liked, it did indeed end. So now there’s nothing left but to hand out report cards for the players of each team. We’re continuing this series today with the Cubs outfield. Albert Almora (167/265/200 -0.1 fWAR) Oy. 34 plate appearances, one extra base hit (a double). […]
A Game Happened. Cubs – 10; White Sox – 0
So, I didn’t watch any of the game last night due to a previous engagement. But, apparently, it went swimmingly. The Cubs reduced their magic number to 1 to win the division. The Cubs scored a bunch of runs by hitting some home runs (fucking finally). They also pitched really well. The White Sox didn’t. […]
LESTER IS MORE: Cubs 5, Pirates 0
The Chicago Cubs traveled to Pittsburgh to begin a 4-game series against the Pirates tonight, and the Cubs sent Jon Lester to the mound against JT Brubaker. The Cubs have run a 5-1 record so far this year against the Bucs. How did things go? In what may very well have been the last regular […]
The Gang That Couldn’t Hit. Cubs – 0; Twins – 4
This was a very frustrating game to cap off a frustrating weekend. Yu Darvish was really good in innings 3-6. He gave up a couple runs in the 1st and 2nd, yet wrangled out of trouble in both innings. He was his ace self in the middle innings and ended his night by giving up […]
TWIN KILLING: Twins 8, Cubs 1
Tonight the Chicago Cubs and Minnesota Twins met in the second game of a three game series at Wrigley Field, with the Twins sending the massive Michael Pineda against Alec Mills, coming off his no-hitter last Sunday. How did it go? Well, for starters, Johnny Vandermeer can rest easy. Mills gave up a towering home […]
THE PROFESSOR SCHOOLS THE TWINS: Cubs 1, Twins 0
Tonight the Minnesota Twins came up to Wrigley Field to begin a three game series following their series on the South Side. As both the Twins and Cubs look to be playoff-bound, this series shapes up for both teams to get a handle of what they’re made of. The series began tonight with a pitching […]
Yu’s At It Again. Cubs – 2; Sox – 1
The Cubs managed to salvage the final game of the weekend series with the White Sox behind another dominant performance by Yu Darvish. The Sox winning streak ends at 7 games. The Good This is getting predictable. Darvish went 7IP. 10Ks. 1BB. He induced 26! swinging strikes out of his 103 pitches. 73 of those […]
