		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday&#8217;s 8-3 Cubs victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks led to the rarest of occurrences this season.  It gave the Cubs a convincing three game sweep, only their second of the season with the first coming back in April against the Brewers.  The Cubs also swept a two game set at Wrigley in May against the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The wind was blowing out on Sunday afternoon and the Cincinnati Reds took full advantage of it, bombing the Fighting Colvins 14-3 while the rest of the Cubs took the day off.  Well, that&#8217;s not quite how it actually happened but it sure felt like it as Tyler Colvin&#8217;s two home runs accounted for all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was announced earlier today that Marlon Byrd will be the Chicago Cubs&#8217; lone representative in this year&#8217;s all star game.  This does not come as much of a surprise as none of the other offensive players have made much of a case to be a part of the game.  I think that a case [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cubs got the good Randy Wells on Saturday.  They got the Randy Wells that pounds the strike zone (71 of 99 pitches were strikes), makes it deep into games, and keeps hitters off balance.  It was certainly a welcome sight for Lou Piniella as Wells took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A day after the Carlos Zambrano incident, the Chicago Cubs were looking for a fresh start.  After Aramis Ramirez tied the game with a solo home run in the seventh inning off of Freddy Garcia, it looked like it might be there night.  However, White Sox slugger Paul Konerko had other ideas crushing the eventual [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The latest outburst by Carlos Zambrano should be his last one in a Cub uniform.  On Friday afternoon, after allowing four runs on just 21 pitches, Zambrano exploded at teammates when he returned to the dugout.  He exchanged words with Derrek Lee (who did not look pleased with what Zambrano had to say) before throwing [...]]]></description>
