Oh Good, Oh No

Ivy Chat (Free subscription) | yesterday

Sometime around 8:40 PM this evening, Alfonso Soriano will step into the batters box at Not-Yet-FDIC-Run-Bank Ballpark in Arizona. He'll likely flail away at the first pitch and a sigh of relief will likely be heard from several sources. The biggest sighs will come from the direction of Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez. Just maybe having Soriano in the lineup will take some pressure off these guys and...

Top of the 7th, two on and two out and Derrek Lee steps up to the plate and I'm thinking to myself, "Well, at least he can't hit into a double play here". (Sigh). The Cubs find themselves just one game ahead in the Central and their offense hasn't been able to buy, rent or even lease a big hit. Besides hoping for the comforts of Wrigley, I'm not sure what they can do to get out of this funk. I'm usually...

SAN DIEGO -- He has as many home runs as Houston's Lance Berkman. More runs batted in than Milwaukee slugger Prince Fielder. He is hitting 45 points higher than former MVP Ryan Howard. And he's arguably as smooth at fielding his position as Derrek Lee, the Cubs' Gold Glover. read more

Lilly as well as first baseman Derrek Lee visited the boy last night at Children's Memorial Hospital, where they stayed for 20 minutes and brought the kid a Cubs jersey. The Cubs have been in constant contact with DiAngi's family, and...

Latest lineup yields big results for Cubs

Edward Printer | 04/06/2008

Changing lineups for the third time in five games, maybe Lou Piniella finally has found one to his liking. He should, after newcomer Reed Johnson looked at home in the No. 2 spot and even got Derrek Lee going behind him, the pair combining for six hits and four RBIs as the Cubs pounded Houston pitching 9-7 Saturday at sun-kissed Wrigley Field .
