by Scott Fennessy 8/10/1905 Chicago, IL The Cubs face the Giants in the series finale with New York holding a 2-1 advantage. Cub manager Frank Chance has given Jake Weimer the most formidable task of the season to date. Stop the Giants and Joe McGinnity. Jake has been the true…
by Scott Fennessy Well, the Chicagoland World Series is in the books. I have to admit up front that I was very nervous coming into the event. I have never competed in a tournament before, and have not played another person since 1995. I had planned on coming initially, but…
by Scott Fennessy Chicago, IL 8/9/1905 The Cubs face the Giants in a big game 2 of this series. The Giants won a thriller in 11 innings yesterday behind yet another big day by Mike Donlin who is leading the majors in batting average coming into today’s action. Today’s task…
by Scott Fennessy Chicago, IL 8/7/1905 The Cubs/Giants war continues today as Ed Reulbach faces George Wiltse in what should be one of the biggest mismatches of the year as the Cubs A&C faces a B. That said, never trust a man whose nickname is “Snake”. He has been having…

by Scott Fennessy Chicago, IL 8/4/1905 The Cubs continue their chase of the Giants with the Pirates closing a still somewhat large gap, but are playing well. The Cubs get some big news today as Ed Reulbach will return to the team today, and reclaim his spot at the head…
by Scott Fennessy Chicago, IL 8/2/1905 The Cubs face the Braves in the opening game in this series. After yesterday’s spanking at the hands of the Phillies I am hoping they come out firing on all cylinders. “Big Jeff” Pfeffer (one of Tom’s favorite old time Cubs) is on the…
by Scott Fennessy Chicago, IL 8/1/1905 The Cubs play the Phillies in the series finale. Bill Duggleby and Jake Weimer face each other in what should be a great pitchers duel. Duggleby are two of the best in the NL, and although “Frosty Bill’s” numbers are not in the same…
