After Ryan Dempster so boldly predicted a World Series title during Spring Training, Cubs fans the world over collectively stuck their heads into a pillow and screamed. Surely the team’s fate was sealed because, well, it’s the Cubs and they just don’t win World Series.
 Shocker ipod

 When the Cubs are playing ugly, I have to think of something nice. Marrisa Miller in a Cubs jersey doesn&#8217;t get much better. In fact, every time I look into her eyes I lose my train of thought. Wait, what just happened? Where am I? Woah.

The Cubs continued their Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde act, this time in Tampa, after an 8-3 loss.
It was the first time this season that Chicago had lost three straight games, so the losing streak isn&#8217;t that alarming. It&#8217;s actually impressive that the team went this long before its first three-game losing streak.
What&#8217;s alarming, and [...]]]></description>

 After a 10-game homestand, North Siders must say goodbye (sniff) to their team for seven whole days while they make two road trips to Houston and then, yes, Pittsburgh. But before the Cubs left for the week, they made sure to end the homestand on a good note with a 4-3 win over the Pirates.

The &#8220;cut Soriano&#8221; faction of Cubs Nation is getting quieter with each passing day. Chicago&#8217;s No.1 hitter led off Friday afternoon&#8217;s game with another home run (his third lead off home run in four games) and jacked a three-run home run in his second at bat during a 7-4 win over the Pirates.

I could go into Ryan Dempter&#8217;s impressive 12 strike outs in 8-1/3 innings. Or the Cubs&#8217; sixth win in seven games, a 4-0 shutout over the Padres, Thursday. But who cares about all that. It was the first day of the Jim Edmonds era in Chicago.
So, what did we learn from Edmonds&#8217; first day on [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m new to Cub fandom, so I&#8217;m pretty indifferent to the Jim Edmonds deal. While I&#8217;ve always hated the Cardinals, I never had a problem with Edmonds. In fact, I sorta-kinda respected him as a defensive player. But I&#8217;m not going to defend the Cubs&#8217; decision to go after the guy.
First and foremost, Cubs fans [...]]]></description>

The Cubs stormed out of the gate but then stumbled along the rest of the way during a 4-3 loss to the Padres.
Chicago scored three runs in the first two innings thanks to a leadoff home run from Alfonso Soriano (his 4th career lead off dinger) and a two-run double in the second inning from [...]]]></description>

The only thing more surprising than the Cubs sweeping Arizona this weekend was Jay Mariotti writing something positive about the team. Well, sort of.
While Mariotti downplays the whole idea of revenge (I say screw it and play it up big time!), he does grudgingly acknowledge there is a pretty good baseball team on the North [...]]]></description>

They say revenge is a dish best served cold. So it was fitting that a chill hung over Wrigley Field while the Cubs completed a three-game sweep of the Diamonbacks with a 6-4 win. In case you forgot, (which is highly unlikely), Arizona was the team completing a three-game [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the Chicago Tribune, Alfonso Soriano has the second-worst on-base percentage of any playing leading off in the National League. On the Cubs alone, Soriano has the third worst percentage. But that means nothing to GM Jim Hendry.
On Wednesday he publicly defended Lou Piniella&#8217;s decision to keep Soriano in the lead off spot:

Welcome back to the starting rotation Jon Leiber. You&#8217;ve been missed by fans and Major League hitters alike.
Lieber probably needed a hug after giving up four home runs in the first inning to the Reds. Even if that hug came from a giant flesh-eating wild animal.
But give him credit. He lasted one more inning than most [...]]]></description>
