Chicago Cubs 2009 schedule is now available

Wow! Does the next year's schedule usually show up so soon?

I found it on cubs.com here.

TV listings for Chicago Cubs fans - October 2008

I'm not finding programs via keyword "Cubs" via the Tivo and Comcast cable websites. So I'll have to find them elsewhere.

Today they had a program titled "Windy City Playoff Preview Special". I'm hoping they'll reair it.

Here is their schedule for the 2008 Postseason games.

Do Cubs fans want to see a Cubs vs White Sox World Series?

Bill Murray is NOT a true fan

So what's up with Bill Murray? He pretends he's a die-hard Cubs fan but did you see him on tonight's fancam at the Mets game. WHERE'S THE CUBS CAP??

Best Wrigley SRO Location????

OK.... I was lucky enough to score 2 tix for the first playoff game on 10/1. Unfortunately, standing room only was the best I could do. I've been to many games at Wrigley but never SRO. What is the best location to stand?

This is The Cubs Year It's Time CENTURYPEAT!!

I am confident. After years of waiting.
This will be the year. With Lou's guidance the North side will get the
CenturyPeat. Just like the shirt says. It's Time

What do you think had the most effect on Carlos Zambrano's pitching results during the Sept 19 game vs the Cardinals?

GEO!

capt_9ca12e91ba934a0fa6e7525854c4d560_brewers_cubs_baseball_cxc122Now that's a comeback.

Down by four with two outs in the 9th and no one on, Ryan Braun gave the Cubs life. No one's idea of a stellar fielder, Braun looked less than stellar in trying to shoestring Aramis Ramirez's line drive into rightfield, turning it into a double. Then a bouncer up the middle for Jim Edmonds, scoring Ramirez. Then a base hit to right for Mark DeRosa.

Then, the electric moment. Salomon Torres' first pitch to Geovany Soto landed deep in the leftfield bleachers, tying the game.

Here is the video of Soto's game-tying three-run shot.

Three innings later, Derrek Lee drove in the winning run. Here is the video of Lee's hit.

Cue "Go Cubs Go."

The magic number is down to 2.

This is the year.

I see that there are two games remaining that will air on WCIU (Chicago only). I'm hoping that Comcast Sports Plus or WGN Cable (outside of Chicago) will also carry these games. (Hint hint!)

Was the WGN telecast of the Zambrano no-hitter blacked out where you live?

Zambrano's Arm Awakens and Throws No-Hitter

Carlos Zambrano came out of his "dead arm" phase tonight, throwing the Cubs' first no-hitter in 36 years, in the Cubs' 5-0 win over the streaking Houston Astros.

Combined with the Milwaukee Brewers' continued slide -- losing a doubleheader to the Philadlephia Phillies to close a four-game sweep -- the Cubs had a day today. With 15 games to play, the Cubs' magic number has been reduced to just 7.

Prior to tonight, Zambrano had allowed 24 runs in his past 26.2 innings, giving up 33 hits and 17 walks, over 5 starts.

Roster Page Updated

The Chicago Cubs 40-Man Roster and Contracts page has been updated to reflect transactions over the past three months.
