After two weeks on the DL, Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano will be back on the mound Friday for the series opener against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
Jim Edmonds is coming back to his old home. For eight years he patrolled center field at Busch Stadium. He won six Gold Glove Awards and made three All-Star teams. In 2006, he finally won a World Series ring. Now, Edmonds faces off against his former team as the Cards and Cubs meet in an NL Central tussle.
Looking for their first road series win in three weeks, the Cubs had to settle for a split Thursday after dropping the finale, 8-3, to the Giants.
Aramis Ramirez joined the Cubs in San Francisco on Thursday after spending the previous three days in the Dominican Republic dealing with family issues.
In conjunction with his 1st Touch Foundation, Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee hosted 100 kids from his hometown of Sacrementon on Thursday at AT&T Park.
All that has kept Reed Johnson from returning to the lineup is the pesky rulebook. The outfielder was sent to the disabled list with back problems in mid-June, but he's felt fine for several days. In the finale of a four-day set in San Francisco, he'll finally be activated.
A win on the road eluded Ryan Dempster yet again, but the Cubs still pulled out a victory Wednesday at AT&T Park against the Giants, 6-5. With one out in the eighth inning, Mike Fontenot pulled a Tyler Walker fastball into the right-field seats for a tiebreaking home run.
Lou Piniella, one of the National League coaches in the game at Yankee Stadium on July 15, recently called Clint Hurdle, the NL squad's manager, to pitch a trio of his deserving players.
With the Cubs reeling after the White Sox swept them, Mark DeRosa showed Monday why citizens of Wrigleyville are so optimistic about this season. Aramis Ramirez (family matter), Alfonso Soriano (broken left hand) and Reed Johnson (back spasms) were all unavailable in the series opener against the Giants, so DeRosa grabbed the reins for the night, tallying two home runs and six RBIs.
As part of an ongoing series looking back at 100 years of Cubs baseball, MLB.com looks at July 1908, a month that saw the Cubs finish a half game back of Pittsburgh after posting an 18-13 record to enter August at 55-36.
Ryan Dempster has compiled a staggering 9-0 record in games at Wrigley Field this season, but is still winless on the road, with an 0-3 record away from the Friendly Confines. He will attempt to change that against the Giants on Wednesday.
In search of a second consecutive road victory, the Cubs found themselves on the wrong side of a 2-1 pitchers' duel against the Giants on Tuesday night at AT&T Park.
Depending on the results of one more medical checkup on Thursday, Alfonso Soriano is nearly ready to return to the lineup.
Because he pitched well against the White Sox last weekend and St. Louis has a lineup that struggles against left-handers, Sean Marshall will get another crack at the starting rotation this weekend when the Cubs play the Cardinals.
Jason Marquis doesn't know why, but he seems unaffected by the Cubs' difficulties on the road. His road ERA (3.51) is almost three runs lower than his mark at home (6.29). His career numbers don't follow the current trend, but he's not about to complain.
What's up with Derrek Lee grounding into so many double plays this season? Cubs beat reporter Carrie Muskat answers this question and more in the latest mailbag.

While the entire Cubs roster was thwacked at U.S. Cellular Field over the weekend in three consecutive losses, their skipper says he in particular was ambushed Sunday night.

If Sean Marshall is headed to the bullpen or the Minors, at least his last start in place of Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano was a strong effort. Marshall limited the White Sox to three runs in seven innings in a 5-1 loss Sunday.
The Cubs have dropped six straight on the road, and they'll be looking to end that streak when they face the Giants on Monday in the opener of a four-game set.
