Today was not how Cub fans wanted to end their Memorial Day weekend, as they watched Cardinals Albert Pujols hit three home runs at Wrigley Field on Sunday, propelling the Cards to a 9-1 victory.
Baseball season is in full swing and Cubs’ fans can follow the action on the radio and television. But fans can also increase their Cubs chatter by joining Twitter.
The Cubs long-time baseball rivalry with the St. Louis Cardinals comes to Chicago for Memorial Day weekend. Here is what fans had to say during the Friday’s opener with the Cards.
The Chicago Cubs beat the first place Texas Rangers, 5-4 on Sunday afternoon and will head back to Wrigley Field with their first winning road trip of the season. Carlos Silva pitched another fantastic game for the North Siders and improved his record to a perferct 6-0 for the 2010 season.
It may not be “official” but given the Cubs’ track record, it looks like General Manager, Jim Hendry will try to answer the bullpen problems by re-hiring right-hander Bob Howry. The veteran righty was just released by the Arizona Diamondbacks because of his lack of production in the ‘pen.
The Cubs’ right-handed starter, Carlos Zambrano will return to the five-man rotation sometime in the near future. Manager Lou Piniella has decided to reinsert Zambrano into the rotation after the $18 million dollar “starter” for the Cubs spent the last three weeks swimming in murky waters of middle relief.
The Cubs finally end their four-game losing streak as they slid by the Florida Marlins 4-3 at Wrigley Field Wednesday afternoon. Even with the victory the Cubs are barely clinging to fourth place in the National League Central Division as the St. Louis Cardinals continue to pull away from the pack.
Chicago Cubs’ rookie phenom, Starlin Castro committed three errors in Monday night’s game against the Florida Marlins in his Wrigley Field debut. Castro’s three errors on Monday comes just three days after he broke a major league record for most runs-batted-in by a player in his first MLB game.
The Cubs’ players added a little flare to their uniforms and equipment today in support of Mother’s Day dawning pink bats, batting gloves, wrist bands and ribbons. The color pink has become synonymous with breast cancer awareness and it has become a popular trend in professional sports, with the National Football League participating last year during the month of October.
The 2010 Chicago Cubs continue to be a mystery to all parties involved, the National League Central Division, their fans and the players themselves. With the six weeks of baseball in the books, the Cubs have endured more peaks and valleys than a celebrity marriage.
