Reds Game TBD

Friday night's game was rained out and yet to be scheduled.

Cubs Extend a Winning Streak with 9-0 and 12-8 Victory Over the Dodgers and Nationals

Sorry for the delay on the Dodgers story!
The Cubs were eager to once again pound the Dodgers, and their prayers were answered in a 9-0 shutout Wednesday night. The first inning was a blur for both teams, not even lasting six minutes! However, the second inning the Cubs were relentless and kept that same attitude the rest of the game. Blake pitched a 6-inning shutout, with some great fielding plays by Jacob and many others in the field
Nationals
The Cubs were able to come out Tuesday with a 12-8 win over the Nationals despite a terrible officiated game. The Cubs were red hot the first inning by scoring four runs. However, the Nationals were able to drive the ball to the outfield many times and evened up the score. The second inning showed (I think) what an even game this was, coming out 5-5. It was a very close game until the Cubs were able to get the score to 12 and wouldn't give it up the rest of the game. Compliments for T.J. getting a win his first game, and Phil coming out with a save. Let's get the Reds Friday!

Cubs Win Season Opener 4-2

The Cubs started of the season in fine fashion with a 4-2 victory over the Braves. The Cubs started out the game with 3 quick outs in the first inning. The Cubs had a hot start with the bats having Blake getting a double and Alberto knocking Blake and himself in with a Homerun. That gave the Cubs a 2-0 lead and the Cubs never gave it up. Phillip on the mound had 12 K's in 6 innings pitched. Even though the Cubs only had four runs, they ended innings with lots of runners on base, so hopefully next time we can get those runners home. Overall it was a great game for the undeafeted Raleigh Cubs. Keep it up.

Draft Tuesday, Practice Wednesday

The draft for the league will be this Tuesday night at Optimist. The first practice for the Cubs is Saturday the 21st.

Cubs Season Soon To Begin & Draft Coming Up Shortly

It's almost here, the start of the Raleigh Cubs 2009 spring season! All of us here are looking forward to the new draft picks, coaches, and players coming to the Cubs this season. If you haven't looked, our YouTube Channel is on the following link: http://www.youtube.com/raleighcubs
This blog is run by Blake otherwise known as "Mr.Emotion" (as named by Bill McCrorie) or "Webmaster" which I obviously prefer! The first practice dates will be determined, and we hope Coach McCrorie can put together the best recruiting class in the league.
Our goal this year is to of course, build life lasting relationships, and to win our league Championship, and the overall "Raleigh Tounrament" played by the champions of the other leagues in the area.
A news flash that the Nationals, Champions of our League Last Year, also went to the Raleigh Tournament and won the whole thing.
Let's go show them what Cubs are all about!
