Cubs historical sleuthing: Jason Marquis edition

Here’s another photo from BCB reader Clark Addison. It is, quite clearly, a play at the plate. There are enough letters on the back of the runner’s jersey to identify him: That’s Jason Marquis. Here’s the full photo: Marquis pitched for the Cubs for two seasons, 2007 and 2008. The catcher’s uniform doesn’t show a […]

Been Waiting for a Rumor to Connect the Cubs to Eugenio Suarez

Given the fact that we know the Cubs are in on third baseman Alex Bregman , and given the reports that had the Cubs interested in Eugenio Suarez at the Trade Deadline, I have been waiting for some kind of rumor to connect the Cubs to Suarez this offseason.

Bumpuses!: Kings 6, Blackhawks 0

The Chicago Blackhawks were thoroughly steamrolled Saturday night, surrendering six goals to the LA Kings and being shutout while offering all the resistance of a revolving door. Gross. Warren Foegele opened the scoring 1:55 into the second period, dropping to one knee and hammering home a one-timer set up by Trevor Moore. Tyler Bertuzzi coughed the puck up along the boards trying to kick it out of danger and too many other Blackhawks were puck watching, leaving Foegele wide open. Mo...

So, the Cubs Have Not In Fact Signed Zac Gallen, But They Are Reportedly Contemplating It

Today was a bit of a wild ride, with an erroneous initial report that the Chicago Cubs were signing Zac Gallen to a multi-year deal worth $22 million annually, followed by an immediate and firm refutation. Then the original report was withdrawn, and changed to only that the Cubs were hoping to maybe try to sign Gallen. It was weird, given how specific the original report was. So where do things stand? What’s the real story on the Cubs and Gallen, who reportedly is among the many starting ...

Back for More: Blackhawks at Kings Preview

The Chicago Blackhawks are once again in Los Angeles Saturday to take on the Kings. Considering this will be the second time the Blackhawks face the Kings in three days, nothing much has changed since our last preview except that the Blackhawks pulled off a 2-1 victory in the first meeting. In that game, the Blackhawks and Kings played a tight, low-scoring game that didn’t see a breakthrough until the second period. After a scoreless first, Chicago finally opened things up on a power play...

Blackhawks at Kings — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

For the second consecutive game, the Blackhawks will face the Kings in Los Angeles tonight. At least this game starts an hour earlier? And at least the Blackhawks were able to pull out an important, impressive win the previous meeting. Teuvo Teräväinen is a game-time decision after taking a puck to the mouth late in the win two nights ago . He’s been terrific for the Blackhawks this season, no matter who’s on the ice with him.

Good News for the Broadcast Team at Marquee Sports Network

Last week, we learned of the major (and mostly negative/financially pessimistic) changes coming to Marquee Sports Network here at the end of 2025.

There’s a lot more to it than this, but among the immediate, front-facing fallout was the firings of content director Tony Andracki and reporter Andy Martinez. ...

Excitement, Mea Culpas, Timelines and the Blackhawks’ Current Reality

There are lots of reasons to be excited about the Blackhawks in the NHL right now. There are as many (maybe more?) reasons to be excited about where the Blackhawks might be in the future.

The relative level of success the Blackhawks are having right now is even beginning to win converts from so...

How New Bears Coaches Are Making an Impact, Wright, Swift, and Other Saturday Bullets

Chili is best served on the first day after initially making it. So I am making chili for Bears-Packers this afternoon before I head out to the suburbs for a friends and family holiday gathering. The recipe is from my friend Jim , who let me know that I could substitute turkey and chorizo for the ground beef and italian sausage that I usually use. I look forward to getting in the kitchen later. Richard Sherman nailed it: I don’t think the impact Al Harris is having in Chicago is ...
