Game 31 Recap: Cubs 4, Brewers 2
The Cubs salvaged one game in Milwaukee thanks to a four run 3rd inning, highlighted by Alfonso Soriano’s monster 2-run YAK EM!!! which tied the game at 2-2.

Game 29 Recap: Brewers 3, Cubs 2
Not the best night for the Chicago Cubs. Losing a hard fought game to a rival early in the season because of a walk and a mistake to a great hitter is not any fun, but in a long season, these things happen. Clearly, though, the bigger loss in the grand scheme of things is [...]

Game 5 Recap: Cubs 6, Brewers 5
For the second strait game a two-run rally in the ninth propelled a squad to victory. This time it was Alfonso Soriano’s one-out two-run YAK EM! that gave the Cubs the come from behind victory, just as the Brewers had done the night before.

Chicago Cubs @ Milwaukee Brewers – Series Preview
In 2008, the Chicago Cubs mindset was about winning series. It seemed every interview with a Cubs player included the phrase, “We’re just trying to win the series and go from there”.
