Series losses have been a rarity for the Cubs this year, so it feels quite bad when it happens. Especially one what played out to be essentially a coin flip game. When “the bullpen” has let the Cubs down this year, it has consistently not so much been “the bullpen” as a whole in a given game so much as a new reliever having a total bust out night. Usually…

CUBS LINEUP — Well, folks, we’ve got ourselves a good old-fashioned rubber match at Wrigley Field, and on Sunday night baseball no less. The struggling (but more talented) Aaron Nola is taking on the better-performing (but lower-ceiling) Jameson Taillon. Speaking of pitching … Because the Cubs have an off-day tomorrow and didn’t use any of their top relievers yesterday, I wouldn’t be surprised by a quicker hook for Taillon. The…

The Chicago Cubs swapped out relievers on the roster today, bringing up lefty Tom Cosgrove from Triple-A Iowa, and sending righty Ethan Roberts down to Iowa. The Cubs picked up Cosgrove in a minor trade a couple weeks ago after the Padres had designated him for assignment. A brilliant big league reliever two years ago, Cosgrove, 28, struggled badly in 2024, and didn’t put up good numbers at Triple-A, either….

Waited so long for ‘Andor’ to return, and … it still has the juice. It just makes me very happy to be reminded of the range of stories you CAN tell within the ‘Star Wars’ universe. Today is it. The final game in the opening gauntlet for the Chicago Cubs, playing the toughest month-long stretch that any team in baseball will play in any monthlong period this season. That is…

I suppose the Cubs were due – overdue, really – for a real clunker. Ben Brown got caught up in a perfect swirl of his own mistakes, some flukey balls that found grass, and some genuine hard contact, the result of which was a six-run 4th inning that ended his day, and severely dented the Cubs’ chances. Even then, the Cubs did have some opportunities to come back, at one…

CUBS LINEUP — The Cubs took the opener against the Phillies at Wrigley Field yesterday. And that means they have a chance to win yet another series against a good team today. It won’t be an easy one, though, as Jesus Luzardo is on the mound for the Phillies and has been absolutely nails all season. Here’s a look at the Cubs lineup for Game 2 at Wrigley Field. Chicago…

Farewell, Gage Workman. The Chicago Cubs won’t be able to keep their Rule 5 Draft pick in the end. Now the Chicago White Sox will take a crack at it. Prior to today’s game at the Athletics, the Chicago White Sox acquired infielder Gage Workman from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations and designated infielder Nick Maton for assignment.— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) April 26, 2025 Recall, this…

I was getting an early (for me) start on thinking about Mother’s Day stuff, but somehow that led me to this random knick knack Father’s Day page at Amazon, where I’m now scrolling through all these little household things that I want. This is an #ad, but I’m serious. Oh yeah, I guess also I could try to find some Mother’s Day stuff … Just noticed that on the list…

The Cubs and Phillies waited out a long rain delay before kicking off today’s game, which featured some particularly ugly conditions for the offense (the gusts coming in from left reached 50 mph at times). Still the Cubs found a way to get on base a ton, and to score here and there, despite leaving 12(!) on base through eight innings. Some days are like that, and you just have…
