by Scott Fennessy Chicago, IL 9/19/1905 Today’s game features Tom Walker a grade C pitcher against Chicago ace Ed Reulbach, an A&C starter. Given the Cubs recent offensive surge I was expecting a blowout again. Initially the Reds did everything in their power to give them a huge lead early,…
by Scott Fennessy 9/18/1905 Chicago, IL The Cubs and Cardinals take the field in the tag end of today’s twin billing. Jim McDougal makes his first start of the year against Mordecai Brown goes for the Cubs. Brown looks sharp in the first as he retires the side in order.…
by Scott Fennessy 9/18/1905 Chicago, IL The Cubs begin their home stand against their most hated rivals the Cardinals. The Cards have had a tough year and hope to avenge the thumping the Cubs laid on them the other day in St. Louis. They send Win Kellum to the hill.…
by Scott Fennessy Funny when the Beatles sing this phrase it’s a great song. Unfortunately when you hit that 23 with runners on the corners it just ended your game. For me the upside is that there is one less third baseman headed for the trainer’s room. I know it’s…

by Scott Fennessy 9/11/1905 Cincinnati, OH The Cubs face the Reds in a “must win” situation. Although they are tied with the Giants, they have two more games played than their New York rivals. That however will be reduced to one as the Cubs schedule has them off for the…
by Scott Fennessy 9/10/1905 Cincinnati, OH The Cubs only got to face the Cardinals in a one game series due to schedule cutting to meet my season limit of 140 games. That is disappointing as they are really in a free fall, and the Reds team they now face features…
by Scott Fennessy 9/8/1905 St. Louis, MO The Cubs arrive in St. Louis to face the struggling Cardinals and renew their rivalry. The Cards have made a ton of moves now that they are officially eliminated from the pennant chase, and send their hottest pitcher, Jake Thielman (right) to the…
by Scott Fennessy Well the dog days of August have ended, and there is just over a month left in the season. The National League has seen the Giants enormous lead over the Cubs vanish, and the Pirates come and go from the chase, leaving Chicago as the only team…
