Chicago Cubs Fan Tony Romo Sings, "Take Me Home To The Ball Game"
2008-05-12 09:20:00
Looks like Jessica Simpson has a real effect on Tony Romo. The Dallas Cowboys QB, got up and sang during a Chicago cubs game. Looks like the guy is really in love so he does not care what others have to say about him. He does not have the best voice so we are not expecting an album from him anytime.He needs to take his overexposed GirlFriend out of the media though, she needs to go away from the spotlight, and make a kick ass album and then return. She tried the movie thing but she is not great of a actress and she never really conquered the music thing, so what else is a girl to do to hold on to her popularity?

Gameday Thread-- Houston Astros @ Chicago Cubs 1:20 P.M. CT-- Rich Hill Za
2008-04-04 17:57:00
After losing the first two games of the season, the Cubs proved that they don't completely suck and avoided being swept at home by their biggest competition for the division, the Milwaukee Brewers.  Bravo.  Today they meet another divisional foe at home, the Houston Astros. Taking the mound today for the first time this year is Rich Hill.  Rich throws a pretty amazing curveball, but lately he's been feeling a little down.  He had an ERA of 6.11, and walked 15 batters in 18 innings of work during spring training. What Rich needs right now is confidence.  He found it last year after finding a good book.  This year he can find it after he finds...a friend. Will you be my friend? Whenever you see Rich Hill today, smile at him.  No matter what.  I'm talking Care Bears meets Cheshire Cat grinning.  Then maybe he'll come over to your locker and you can somehow bring up the Under the Sea Ball Dance. Rich is a Pisces, and his horoscope is: "...
Former closer Ryan Dempster pitches Chicago Cubs past Milwaukee Brewers, 6-
2008-04-04 01:15:00
Talk about role reversals. Converted closer Ryan Dempster was solid as a starter and got the win. One-time ace Kerry Wood, now called on to finish games, earned his first career save. Chicago’s offense, meanwhile, thawed out. Aramis Ramirez homered, Alfonso Soriano had two RBIs and the Chicago Cubs got their first win, 6-3 over ...

So much for tinkering with the batting order. Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella said Saturday that Kosuke Fukudome will bat fifth, Alfonso Soriano will remain in the second spot and, barring a trade, the opening day lineup is set. Those comments came a day after the manager said he might try batting the struggling Fukudome ...

Despite that, manager Lou Piniella said Hill is not in jeopardy of losing his spot in the rotation. “He’s locked in,” ...
Cubs Pitchers Are At It Again
2008-03-20 19:00:00
The very first post I wrote for Sox & Dawgs last May was on practical jokes in baseball specifically a few that were covered by This Week in Baseball. In one of those segments, Chicago Cubs reliever Ryan Dempster and some other Cubs were seen putting another teammates Escalade up on blocks and putting the tires all over the stadium so he’d find them as he went into the locker room, men’s room, bullpen etc. Much to the chagrin of the Escalade owner. The classic was when he walked into the bullpen to see one of his custom rims and tires leaning against the tarp. Well Dempster and the Cubs pitchers are at it again. This time the joke thought turned into pre-planned good deed for the clubs strength coach. Tim Buss drives a 1995 Nissan Sentra, well he drove a 1995 Nissan Sentra. On Tuesday one of the Cubs players came into the clubhouse and told Buss he needed to go to the parking lot and look at his car. When he got out there he found all his windows smashed, the doors t...

Game Thread--Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim vs Chicago Cubs-- 3:05 p.m. CT
2008-03-16 20:15:00
Pitching today for the Chicago Cubs is our ace, Carlos Zambrano. Carlos just saw himself on the Jumbotron Big Z has had a marvelous spring so far, letting up only 1 earned run in 9 IP.  He's also walked only one batter, while striking out eight.  For Big Z, that's quite an accomplishment.  Let's hope it translates into a good early start for Zambrano, because he had such a hard time getting going last year. The Angels play two slit-squad games today against the Cubs and Giants.  Jered Weaver will toss against the Giants.  Which means we (kinda) get the scrubs! At least the scrub pitchers.  On the mound for the The Angels Angels of Anaheim is Nick Green.  Green is not expected to make the major-league team. In 7IP, Green has let up 3 walks, 2 k's, and 3 Earned Runs. Nick Green is freakin' high and I don't think that I'll see him again, but we shared a moment that will last 'til the end What to Watch For Zambrano is going up against some ...

Trade Rumor: Coco Crisp to the Chicago Cubs?

For the first time in years, the Boston Red Sox are facing a player logjam in the outfield. Since of those players is a top 10 MLB prospect (Jacoby Ellsbury) and one of them is the best defensive centerfielder in baseball (Coco Crisp), platooning doesn?t seem to be an option. That leaves one

The Chicago Cubs Closer?
2008-02-14 11:14:00
End game: Finding a closer :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Cubs: "''We'll have one guy,'' he said Wednesday. ''By the end of spring training, no question. Probably three-quarters of the way through spring training, we'll have one guy. We've got people here that are very capable of getting it done.''"The candidates are Bobby Howry, Carlos Marmol and Kerry Wood. My guess is in that order, but the Cubbies did sign Wood to a one-year deal with games finished clauses.

Angelos Rumored to Have Nixed Deal With The Chicago Cubs...
2008-01-20 17:57:00
Perhaps the more things change, the more they stay the same.Well, read what I saw below on ESPN this morning. Read into it what you wish, but does Andy MacPhail have the power or what? Killing a 7 for 2 deal is a little puzzling, but of course we don't know the details.Then again, it is only a rumor; this, take it for what it's worth. With less than a month before spring training, perhaps MacPhail is still waiting for the deal he wants since he's got two big hands to play; however, it is looking more and more that both Roberts and Bedard will still remain Baltimore Orioles heading into Spring Training.The fans wanted more change; however, it may not be happening soon. Is 2008 already a throwaway year like my tag team partner James Baker opines on Oriole Magic?In one word, yes.Well, Camden Yard is still gorgeous, and the new HD scoreboard will be a welcome sight.From ESPN.com: Orioles owner Peter Angelos killed a 7-for-2 trade that would have sent second baseman Brian Roberts and ...
