[danleys] Ian Happ has been celebrated throughout the day today, as this game marks his 1,000th in the big leagues (all with the Cubs). On the broadcast, Boog and J.D. pointed out that his 1000-game mark puts him among the top-7% of big leaguers all time. And fortunately, he’s celebrating with an excellent performance on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Happ has a double and walk. And defensively, he…

[Feldco] Dude. Carson Kelly. What the heck are you putting in your water?! After hitting for the cycle (with a couple of walks) just two games ago, Kelly has two hits plus a walk this afternoon. And his second hit was a game-opening, three-run homer on a day when the wind is really blowing in. Carson Kelly Homers Today’s Feldco Home Renewal Home Run is Carson Kelly’s second homer of…

CUBS LINEUP — Last season, the Chicago Cubs dropped the first two games of the year, before bouncing back with a five-game winning streak that peaked on April 5. This season, the Cubs dropped the first two games of the year … and have a chance at a five-game winning streak here on April 5. Win or lose today, let’s hope the rest of the season goes better than it…

It was so good to be back for an opener, man. It was only one year I missed last year with the back injury, but it felt like an eternity. That win was for me, clearly. Up first, the ceremonies from the home opener, if you missed any of it. Ryne Sandberg throwing out the first pitch was especially touching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPo5y2rKHjM So great to see Cubbie legends out for opening…

The Chicago Cubs hosted the undefeated San Diego Padres for the home opener yesterday, winning 3-1. It was windy, cold … and wonderful. Nothing beats watching the Cubs win at Wrigley Field, and when it kicks off the home slate against a very good team, it’s all the better. Enjoy the highlights from the win: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hNxxdPhn_w

It’s only April. It’s not supposed to be that stressful. After Shota Imanaga (7.1 IP) and Porter Hodge (0.2) delivered eight breezy innings, Cubs closer Ryan Pressly did not have it. Again. Sure, he technically got the job done (… on 33 pitches), but he was once again wild, got hit, and allowed the game-tying run to get into scoring position. It was the first time all day the Padres…

[danleys] The entire Cubs defense is loaded with Gold Glove winners (or, at least, legitimate) candidates), but the outfield is something really special. The combination of Ian Happ (3x Gold Glove winner), Kyle Tucker (1x Gold Glove winner), and, of course, Pete Crow-Armstrong may just be the best defensive outfield in baseball when the season comes to an end. And that’s especially nice when you have a flyball pitcher, like…

Cubs vs Padres — Well, the good news is that the Cubs swept the Athletics in Sacramento, and they did so convincingly, outscoring the A’s 35 to 9 over three games. The bad news is that later this afternoon, the team will begin one of the toughest one-month schedules that I can remember. Seriously, this next stretch is just brutal: First, the Cubs will play the undefeated San Diego Padres…

One of the best National Holidays of the year is here! THE HOME OPENER AT WRIGLEY FIELD! And who better to take us there than Ryne Sandberg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq76lwALpYQ It’s Opening Day Number Four for the Chicago Cubs, and the final in the set. I’ll be heading out to enjoy the festivities shortly – it’s a holiday, after all – and then I’ll be in the bleachers for the game. I…
