Our team just lost consecutive weekend series to the Pirates. I think that’s the best way to describe this team: we routinely lose to the Pirates. At least for now. So where do we go from here?
First, we need Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez to start hitting. They are the ONLY weak link in our [...]

Woo hoo! The Cubs called up 20 year old prodigy shortstop Starlin Castro today. He’s totally going to save our franchise and lead us to the promised land, where we’ll all live happily ever after. I heard one time he slayed a giant, then feasted his on golden goose and magic beans before taking the [...]
Brace yourselves for this one , Cubs fans: The Cubs are not gonna win it this year. Whoa! I know, shocking, right? But seriously, even though the Cubs have a long tradition of winning, and addressed all of their problems this year, they are somehow going to end up being a bad team. If only [...]

I’m in Chicago this week for the Jewish holiday’s and my 10 year high school reunion, which should be really interesting when I tell them that I do THIS with my life now. I just got off the phone with my grandmother making plans to pick her up tomorrow for morning services, and was reminded [...]

Hey there readers. I know that everyone has already weighed in on the trades made right before the deadline, but I have an excuse for being late to the party. There was a wedding in The Other Fifteen family, as our Vice President and Co-Creator Patrick Carey got married to his longtime better half. It [...]

… And I’m more than happy to admit it. When evaluating the Cubs prior to the season, I mentioned that they might end up with a platoon situation at first base given how well Micah Hoffpauir was hitting in spring training and the apparent slow decline of Derrek Lee’s bat. Although it looked like that [...]
So the Cubbies just had a crazy weekend that took them from “It’s just not going to happen for them this year” to “once we get Aramis Ramirez back, we’re gonna wreck the rest of the division.” We had 3 straight amazing 9th inning or extra inning comeback wins, and a blowout on Sunday to [...]

So I did a running diary of yesterday’s Cubs v. White Sox game, which ended up being a terrible decision. It was a horrible game, and I had already committed to watching and commenting on the entire thing. It’s hard to describe just how painful that game was to watch. It was like having to [...]
Cubs/Sox. The battle for Chicago will be decided today. Well, not really. It’s just another game. If you really want to know who wins, check here and here. But if you want a quick preview, just look to the right. I’m pretty sure you know who wins, but just in case, look below it for [...]
So let’s have a review of the past week in baseball:
The Cubs have lost 6 straight.
The Jays have lost 6 straight.
The Padres have won 9 straight.
What?!?!?!
