Playoffs |
Cubs X'd from the Playoffs Lose elimination game in dramatic fashion - again! The Cubs are once more looking in at the playoff round after being bounced by the X-Men in the elimination game 4-2. Last year it was a grand slam that did the Cubs in and this year a simple 2 run error. The tightly played game cruised along surely looking like extra innings until a 2 -2 tie was broken with a long fly ball to the gap finding its way off a glove to allow 2 runs in for the X-men. The cubbies bats once more failed to produce on this critical night in a game that was easily winable. The Cubs pitching excelled once again giving up no earned runs in the game. All in all the Bears deserved a better fate in this one, and indeed all year. A lack of timely hitting and some untimely errors cost the Bears dearly all season long. Don't take anything away from the X-Men in this one, they played well and caught every bomb the Cubs hit to the outfield. Now the Cubs will sit back and watch the playoffs unfold without them. With the '08 season now in the books, next year seems a long way off and one thing is for certain, this team may look very different next year. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs. See you around the diamonds soon. |

| CUBS VISIT CUBS! Last Saturday was a special day for the BVB Cubs with their Major League namesakes visiting the Blue Jays. 8 of the Baby Bears cheered on the Chicago boys - who own Baseballs best record - as they took down Toronto and their Ace Roy Halladay. Ex Jay Reed Johnson got sweet revenge going yard against his old team. The BVB boys fit right in with what surely was a great day with the Dome open and the beer flowing. Hi fiving the numerous Cubs fans both in and outside the stadium added to the fun. Next stop Wrigley and the World Series on the 100th anniversary of the Cubs last title? | CUBS strong in BVB 08 Golf Tourney. With 4 solid foursomes this year, the Bears led all teams in representation this year. What turned out to be a hot and steamy afternoon requiring plenty of liquid refreshments, inevitably drenched the boys in the last groups of the day with tropical downpours. Our Cubbies could not complete the 18 holes but had a blast anyway. Once more Ryan Phillips crushed his way to the longest drive title. Great fun, great food and a good time once again was enjoyed by all. Congratulations to the entire BVB Golf committee for putting on a great event! |
