Winner gets the girl at the homecoming dance: a Louisville-UConn preview
Ah, the heady days of 2007. Back before Louisville collapsed in on itself like so many red dwarfs (the star, not the British TV show), UConn fans were chanting "BCS! BCS!" on the concourse of Rentschler Field after the win over the Cardinals. I know, I was there. Though I was not one of the...
The Astros Are The New Pirates: Cubs vs. Astros, Friday 5/15, 1:20 CT
NOTE: This is auto-posting at 11:30 am CDT while I am busy at work. If the game has been postponed by 12:30 I will post a rainout thread at that time. Certain people at this site who have too much time on their hands spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what might have happened if...
Cubs Win 4-2, And That Was Just The Home Run Count; Cubs Also Win Game 6-4
If you are younger than, say, about 40 and have often wondered what some of those wacky Wrigley Field games in the 1970's were like when the score was 18-12, last night's entertaining 6-4, rain-shortened Cubs win over the Padres gave you a little taste of it. Sure, neither team scored ten runs,...

Obviously, I'm not a doctor nor a batting coach, but it would seem logical that someone with the neck and back problems that D-Lee has might be better served with some...
Yes, Ryan Theriot Really Did Hit A Grand Slam On Friday: Cubs 8, Marlins 6
Just before Alfonso Soriano came to bat with the Cubs trailing 5-2 and runners on first and third with two out in the sixth, BCB reader Bartlett Bob, sitting with us today, said, "I'm ready to catch his home run." To which Mike responded: "He'll get on and then you can catch Theriot's grand...
All Your Base Are Clogged With Cubs: Cubs 7, Reds 2
One of the things that used to drive us most crazy about Dusty Baker's tenure as Cubs manager was his attitude toward the "innocent" (as he once put it during an ESPN broadcast he was commenting on) base on balls. While he'd have his hitters hacking away, he'd also have his pitchers nibble...
