Cubs Go Quickly in Playoffs

Make it 99 years and counting for the Chicago Cubs. And this time, they can curse what happened at the plate and on the mound instead of a billy goat or a black cat. The Cubs big three hitters were a big disappointment and things weren't much better on the mound as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat Chicago 5-1 on Saturday night to complete a three game sweep in their NL division series.

Cubs Win Over Rockies

With a two-run hit homer, Cliff Floyd and the Chicago Cubs held off another late Colorado rally to win their fifth straight, 8-5 over the Rockies on Tuesday. This fourth homer of Floyd's sparked a three-run first inning that put Chicago on top to stay. Then the Cubs added four runs in the fifth, highlighted by Koyie Hill's two-run double. It was a great game and great win for the Cubs.
