The poor Cubs can't buy a win. I don't know where the Cubs buy their bats but they need to get some bats with hits in them. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/football#post-386 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:50:54 +0000 rfisch4 386@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>John Madden has retired from broadcasting the NBC Sunday Night Game. Sure will miss him. His love and knowledge of the game made his explanations of various strategies all the more believable and easier to understand. It was a pleasure to watch a game handled by him. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/cubs-winning-streak#post-149 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 02:54:43 +0000 rfisch4 149@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Well we had a 'Cubs losing streak' topic here for a while so since the Cubs just equaled their longest home winning streak in 40 years we should add this 'Cubs winning streak' section. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/baseball-09#post-376 Sun, 18 Jan 2009 07:36:11 +0000 rfisch4 376@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Days left until Cubs':<br /> Pitchers and Catchers Report to spring training - 26<br /> First Spring Training game with LA Dodgers - 38<br /> Opening Day at Houston - 78<br /> Home Opener vs Colorado - 85 </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/maddox-retirement#post-373 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 08:08:15 +0000 rfisch4 373@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Looks like Greg Maddox is going to announce his retirement on Monday.

He's 38 with about 14 or 15 years in MLB. What makes him think that after his substandard play at SD the first part of this year and the last 3 years at St Louis he will snap out of his funk and start producing again? I would rather see Pie and Murton (who haven't been that bad) getting playing time to help their development. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/cubs-magic-number#post-340 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:38:47 +0000 rfisch4 340@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Thanks to Zambrano's NO HITTER and Milwaukee's losses the Cubs' magic number is <strong><u>7</u></strong>. If they play 500 ball to the end of the season they'll cinch without worrying about what other teams are doing. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/cubs-losing-streak#post-86 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:32:44 +0000 rfisch4 86@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Well the Cubs have tied their longest losing streak of the season last night.

THEN the cubs pitcher decided he wanted to throw a ball at the other team's dugout, missed and hit a fan. yea, he gets a felony for that one. not to mention something like 13 people got ejected, but because they wanted to finish the game, the ejections were reversed and the cubs team went on to lose. </p> <p>so, it was ridiculuous! </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/national-league-central-divsion#post-254 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:09:29 +0000 timfitz 254@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>I remember an article I read last year saying that <em>If you have a mediocre team in the NL Central you are pretty much guarenteed a playoff position</em>.</p> <p>I was watching the Cubs game yesterday and Bob and Len pointed out that the three best records in the NL are all in the Central Division. This is pretty impressive change from last year. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/interleague-play#post-120 Fri, 16 May 2008 20:58:29 +0000 rfisch4 120@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>It's understandable that the Cubs are not involved in the interleague play this weekend because they are in a league of their own! </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/congratulations-timfitz#post-177 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:57:48 +0000 rfisch4 177@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Maybe not a sporting topic but by the announcement in the Daily Herald congratulations are in order for Timfitz and Terri.

Hendry pulls off another good move! </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/should-the-cubs-rename-their-ballpark#post-43 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 19:47:29 +0000 timfitz 43@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>There is talk of selling the naming rights to Wrigley Field. What do you think if they were to change the name? I think they should change it to Cubs Park or something like that. It doesn't seem like Wrigley cares if they change it otherwise they would offer some money not to change it. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/cubs-year#post-99 Fri, 02 May 2008 02:41:17 +0000 rfisch4 99@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>I don't know if this is really the Cubs' year or not. They score 19 runs yesterday and today give up 3 runs in the 9th and lose by one. This is the same type of playing we've seen for years. They'll give you a championship caliber game then turn around the next day and give you crap. They seem to be consistent only in their inconsistencies. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/mark-malone-ch-2#post-18 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:14:29 +0000 rfisch4 18@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>I see where Mark Malone's contract won't be renewed at Ch 2.

The Cubs are hanging tough through them but if it keeps up I can see it wearing them out down the stretch. It's good to see them coming back but not so good seeing them get in the position to have to come back. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/no-matt-murton#post-14 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:15:30 +0000 timfitz 14@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>The Cubs sent Matt Murton down to Triple-A in Iowa. </p>
