Game 39 Recap: Cardinals 3, Cubs 1
This will be brief, but the theme of this is the Cubs are atrocious at the moment. They rolled into St. Louis after a solid 4-1 homestand and proceeded to look like a weak version the Peoria Chiefs. The Cubs were thoroughly dominated by the St. Louis pitching staff and put together some of the [...]
Chicago Cubs @ St. Louis Cardinals – Series Preview
The Cubs have been rolling in May and look for it to continue as they stop in St. Louis for a three game set against the rival Cardinals. These two teams last met in late April in St. Louis and the Cubs lost two of three. However, since their last meeting, the Cubs have gone 12-7 despite [...]
Reds Rip Redbirds; West Coast is Next
The Cincinnati Reds made a major statement this past weekend by taking a series from the division leading St. Louis Cardinals, 2-1. The series win sent out a message to the rest of the National League that says these Reds are for real. Cincinnati concluded their five-game homestand, going 3-2 against the first place and [...]

Reds/Beer Makers Recap
The Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers completed a two game series in which each team earned a victory. Game one might have been the worst display of baseball I have ever seen in the 15-3 Brewers throttling of the Reds. Thankfully, game two turned out to be a different story. Here is what this series [...]
Reds/Marlins Series Recap
The Cincinnati Reds earned their fourth shutout in the last six games last night as they blanked the fish 7-0 and completed another winning road trip at 3-2. The first game of the series looked like a train wreck for the Redlegs, but last night they came out of the woodwork and looked like contenders. [...]
Game 16 Recap: Cardinals 8, Cubs 2
Offensively challenged? Offensively inept? Both are adequate terms to describe the current offense of the Chicago Cubs, however I will go with this one: offensively incapable. The offensive team the Cubs are presently running out on the field is simply incapable of being strong. The lack of any offensive punch reared its ugly head again today as [...]
Game 15 Recap: Cardinals 4, Cubs 3
The losing streak hits three as the Cubs fall to St. Louis in game one, 4-3. The Cubs came in sputtering offensively, and continued that trend against Cardinal starter Adam Wainwright. Ryan Theriot came into the game batting .365, but went 0-for-5 after being moved into the leadoff spot. The Cubs normal leadoff hitter, Alfonso [...]
Chicago Cubs @ St. Louis Cardinals – Series Preview
The Cubs will roll down to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals for the second weekend in a row. The Cubs took two of three last weekend before their Sunday Night Baseball finale of the four-game series was rained out. Nearly three weeks into the season, the Cardinals offense is absolutely mashing. St. Louis [...]
St. Louis Cardinals @ Chicago Cubs – Series Preview
Coming off of a disappointing loss to the Rockies in which the Cubs offense stalled at the hands of ex-Cub Jason Marquis, who thoroughly out-pitched Rich Harden, the Cubbies play host to the rival St. Louis Cardinals for the first time in 2009. The Cubs took care of business against St. Louis last year, taking [...]
Game 8 Recap: Rockies 5, Cubs 2
The Cubs had Jason Marquis, aka His Awfulness, as a teammate the past two seasons, but apparently still do not realize he’s awful. The Cubs were shut down by this man today as they dropped their third contest of the season. His Awfulness gave up only one earned run over seven innings and improved to 2-0 so far [...]
