By TAB BAMFORD In the spirit of discussion, I present to you an idea for discussion: the Cubs should explore trading third baseman Aramis Ramirez to the Phillies. The young third baseman the Cubs picked up named Ryne Sandberg turned out pretty well.

By Tom Dougherty Mark DeRosa, Cleveland Indians/St. Louis Cardinals — DeRosa has been on the Phillies wish list for a long time. They tried to sign him when he was a free agent, but he decided to go to the Cubs. DeRosa hit .250 with the Cards and Tribe last year while smacking 23 balls out of the park and bringing in 7...

By Tom Au The Chicago Cubs didn't go to the playoffs for a similar reason.

By Tom Au Who were the low-budget World Series winners? The St. Louis Cardinals in 2006. The Florida Marlins in 2003. The Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001. All National League teams. The Chicago White Sox vs. the Chicago Cubs. The White Sox are a credible postseason threat, the Cubs aren't.

By Ash Marshall Remember when the Cubs turned on fan Steve Bartman for stopping Moises Alou from catching that foul ball in Game Six of the NLCS against the Marlins in 2003? The problem is, each one of his problems in the World Series is not only exploited, but also magnified. Look no further than Ryan Howard.

By Jim McLennan First, the good news. Our pitchers, catchers and right fielders were almost the best in the league at the plate, trailing only the Cubs, Braves and Phillies [thanks to Carlos Zambrano, Brian McCann and Jayson Werth respectively].

By The Hundley(noreply@blogger.com) What the Hell?: He won a World Series ring with his original team, the Phillies. He was one of the many that Dallas Green brought over during the rebuilding phase of the early 80's which was actually somewhat successful. He was traded to the Cub for Mike Krukow and cash. In 1985, he hit .307 and had...

By Al And yet. The 1969 NL East race is only one example littered over the four decades since when a team came out of nowhere to make the postseason.

By Damen Jackson And what we got treated to was a tack-sharp Rich Harden, who lead the Cubs to a 5-2 win over the Reds. The win gave Chicago not only the three-game sweep, but coupled with the Phillies beating down the Cardinals 9-2, sole possession of first place in the NL Central.

By kjchroust@gmail.com (Kevin Chroust) When Carlos Zambrano led the Cubs in no-hit fashion to their third straight win last night as the Phillies completed a four-game sweep of the Brewers, the National League Central Division race ended. A decision also needs to be made in right field, where Kosuke Fukudome has all but lost his starting role, which I certainly don't agree with. I know his bat hasn't been at all productive since the first half, but his glove has absolutely saved the Cubs a number of times. Had he not been in right against the Cardinals the other night to rob the Redbirds of a couple runs, we would have been talking about another blown lead rather than a close win.   [read the full post]

By bigjohnsonblog@gmail.com (Paul Johnson) On this date back then, the Cubs were up only 1 1/2 games with no chance of earning a Wild Card berth. This season, the Cubs are up 4 games on the Brewers in the Central after Milwaukee's comeback win over the Reds this afternoon. The Cubs are 7 games ahead of the Phillies in the Wild Card race. Baseball Prospectus' PECOTA projections still rate the Cubs at a 99 percent chance of reaching the playoffs. This is not the time to panic. Losing first place is time to panic. Until that happens, I'm not going to feed into this 1969 paranoia. Rich Harden is pitching tomorrow. Carlos Zambrano is pitching Saturday. And everybody in the National League is still chasing the Cubs, and not doing a very good job of it, by the way.   [read the full post]

By Jim Neveau The Chicago Cubs defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-4 on Thursday night, in front of a packed house at Wrigley Field. Aramis Ramirez provided the big blow with an eighth-inning grand slam, and Kerry Wood made the lead stick in the ninth, as the Cubs won their 84th game of the season.

Four Cubs homered Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies, leading to an 11-2 victory and some crazy predictions.

By Teddy Ballgame I received a letter from Taka. Taka is the Japanese baseball fan Nick & I met in Kansas City in 2006 while watching the Yankees play the Royals. He’s going to be in Chicago to see the Cubs play the Phillies at Wrigley Field August 30th & 31st, wanted me to get him a ticket, meet him under th...

By Al Small sample size on those numbers; Lilly isn't that bad, and Hamels isn't that good. Well, maybe Hamels is -- he's been the Phillies' top young pitcher for a while, and they need him to step up and become an ace. He hasn't faced that many current Cubs, but Alfonso Soriano has homered three time...

By which I mean, before Cubs fans know for sure that they’ll be playing at Chase Field on Wednesday and Thursday. It might not happen – if the Mets and Phillies win out and the Padres lose, the Diamondbacks would head east somewhere – but it’s looking like Chicago right now.

By baseballgirl Boston Cleveland Per usual, I have no strong feelings toward the NL at all. The Mets, Diamondbacks, Phillies, Padres, Rockies, or Brewers? It’s going to be a great weekend finish to the season, but I have no attachment to any of the teams...with the possible exception of the Chicago Cubs. It’s l...

Cubs 10-6. The Phillies rapped out 16 hits in the win and stay four games behind the first-place Mets in the NL East. Kyle Lohse (lohsh), acquired in a Monday trade with Cincinnati, lasted only one inning in his Phillies debut. He was hit by a line drive
