 Merry Christmas!
With June came another Soriano injury, Ted Lilly settling all family business and hints of Aces to come (the full Year In Review series can be found here).
June 1: Cecil Cooper calls home runs "rally killers." When his own team hits them. With Ned Yost, Dusty Baker and Cooper around, it's a wonder the Cubs didn't win the Central by 30 games.
June 1: Mark Prior's season ends in familiar fashion - before it even begins.
June 3: Moises Alou now says he would have caught the Game 6 ball.
June 5: One man's favorite Cubs of all-time. I still maintain a Cub can't be my favorite if I didn't see him play.
June 9: Harry Caray on wife stealing.
June 10: A year to the day after getting ejected, Ted Lilly gets even with the Braves.
June 11: The Cubs try to steal too many bases, because they're not particularly good at it. By the "Cubs" I mean "Ryan Theriot."
June 12: Alfonso Soriano breaks his hand. For six weeks.
June 12: The Cubs have a throwback day to a year that saw them win 64 games. Good idea, guys.
June 16: The Cubs are scouting Bay Area teams and reporters can't figure out who they would be looking at. We got it right.
June 17: Little Stein says he doesn't think "his" pitchers should have to bat after Chien-Ming Wang gets a boo-boo while running the bases. We produce a pictorial guide of other things that are dangerous for pitchers.
June 18: WV23 finds that "a triple short of the cycle" isn't all that close to the cycle.
June 19: IAN continues his bizarre public infatuation with Matt Murton.
June 21: Jim Edmonds gets a standing ovation at Wrigley Field.
June 21: Ozzie and Lou, rapping.
June 22: Phil Rogers concludes that the 2003 Aramis Ramirez trade was a good one.
June 24: Joe Morgan flat out lies about Ernie Banks.
June 27: We get out the abacus to show that the Cubs have missed Alfonso Soriano in the leadoff spot during an ongoing rough stretch - even though he's "not a leadoff hitter."
June 29: Big Z goes third person on us.Labels: 2008, Chicago Cubs, Year In Review
