Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
From time to time, Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray would head to the bleachers to broadcast a game. Here’s one of those games. There’s more to the photo than you can see at the top of this post and therein lie the clues: Since we have a lot of the scoreboard visible, it’s possible to narrow […]
In what can only be described as a strain in the groin, the Chicago Bears’ cornerback depth is getting thinner by the week. What looked like a true strength to enter the season, the Bears’ CB room may have been top 3 in the league. That is nine players that you could stack up against […]
Our latest Reacts survey asked a daunting question, with many holes to fill and just one true strength on the club: Should the White Sox trade a catcher this offseason? The answer was a split decision, with nearly half of you saying: NO. Those who forced themselves to pay along overwhelmingly chose Edgar Quero, not […]
Opening blurb. 1.) 1979, Bears @ Vikings: Walter Payton makes history (again) On a cold and blustery October afternoon, the 3–4 Chicago Bears squared off against the 3–4 Minnesota Vikings. In a back-and-forth battle, the Bears jumped out to an early 14–3 lead, highlighted by a 54-yard touchdown strike from Walter Payton to Brian Baschnagel, […]
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Good times to be a fan of the Cubs’ laundry, eh? What with the World Series going on, and not being part of it and all? Yeah. They’re playing our song. The Cubs aren’t going to win any jewelry but they’ll get more postseason awards. The […]
1955 White Sox co-GMs Chuck Comiskey and John Rigney made their first trade — shortstop Chico Carrasquel and center fielder Jim Busby went to Cleveland for slugging center fielder Larry Doby, the left-handed power hitter the Sox had been lacking in the previous three years. The deal also made room in the starting lineup for a rookie shortstop from Venezuela named Luis Aparicio. Doby’s best […]
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll previewed this Sunday’s Chicago Bears vs Baltimore Ravens game with some help from two people who cover their respective teams. First, she spoke with Zack Pearson, who is on the Bears beat for the Bear Report. They discuss where the Bears stand through seven weeks of the […]
In the latest stop on what’s become somewhat of a revenge tour, the Chicago Bears hosted the the New Orleans Saints in week 6. The Saints, who fired Bears Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen from his position as their Head Coach last season, made it interesting with a couple of halftime drives to bring a previously […]
For the second time in three weeks, the (4-2) Chicago Bears will travel to Maryland for a football game, this time against the (1-5) Baltimore Ravens. The Bears will look to keep their winning streak alive and keep pace in a tough NFC, while the Ravens try to get their season back on track. Baltimore […]
The Chicago Bears are red hot, winning 4 straight games and looking for their 5th. Meanwhile, we are red hot in the prop market, winning 5 of our last 6 props from these articles. That gives us a 12-6 record on the season. Can the Bears continue their hot streak? Can we? Here are 3 […]
It’s Week 8 and the New Orleans Saints (1-6) are back home in the dome to take on their first divisional opponent this season with the 5-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last week, we saw the Saints fall on the road to the Chicago Bears in what was QB Spencer Rattler’s worst game in New Orleans […]

The Ravens’ Week 8 injury report is among their best of the season. Several players are returning from multi-week absences, none were ruled out, and only one is questionable. Of course, that one is Lamar Jackson, who can swing their matchup with the Bears more than any player on either team. He missed the last […]
The Chicago Bears head to Maryland to face the Baltimore Ravens in a game that, if they win, means the Bears will have a flawless record for the month of October. Could the Bears extend their winning streak to five? What’s the status of Lamar Jackson? How would his presence (or absence) impact the game? […]
It’s finally here. The Fall Classic will kick off in Canada tonight featuring two teams full of titans in a best-of-seven series to determine this year’s World Series Champion. We’ve already seen epic performances this October from superstar two-way player Shohei Ohtani and legacy bat Vladimir Guerrero Jr. What else can we expect as the […]
The Chicago Bears are looking to keep their winning ways going with a tough test on the road. Using the word test when talking about a 1-5 Ravens team seems odd, but the Baltimore Ravens were preseason Super Bowl favorites. The Ravens have been plagued by bad injury luck and bad defensive play. However, the […]
A reminder that since the Cubs aren’t likely going to go beyond 2026 for these sorts of things, this is probably just a thought exercise. But let’s give it a shot anyway! Cade Horton was the Cubs’ No. 1 pick in 2022 out of the University of Oklahoma. Then various injuries prevented him from pitching […]
It is the ninth year of Top Prospect voting at South Side Sox! First, let us review past years: To make sure we give the SSS readership a strong vote in our South Side Sox Top 100, we’re going to run five or 10 polls before kicking off our Top 100 Prospect countdown. Ideally, we […]
In the summer of 2010, I was walking through the gargantuan Miller Park AmFam Field parking lot with my aunt. While navigating the rows of tailgaters leading up to the House That Selig Built, we were approached by a guy in a Chicago White Sox jersey. Why a South Sider was present for a Twins […]
1901 In possibly the first instance of crosstown movement, Cubs center fielder Danny Green signed for bigger money with the White Sox as one of scores of players ditching the National League for the more lucrative pastures of the American. Green was coming off of a very strong 1901 season, with a 3.9 WAR buoyed […]
Take Me Out to the Ball Game, Jackie Robinson! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Bleed Cubbie Blue is pleased to present a light-hearted, Cubs-centric look at baseball’s colorful past. Here’s a handy Cubs timeline, to help you follow the various narrative paths. “Maybe I called it wrong, but it’s official.” — Tom Connolly, HoF Umpire. Today in baseball history: There’s […]
We know that the Cubs have superior defensive players at many positions, and could win several Gold Gloves when those awards are announced next month. Today, Sports Info Solutions gave the entire team a Fielding Bible award (Bluesky link): As noted in the Bluesky post, this is the first-ever such award, given to an entire […]
Free agency will begin shortly after the World Series ends, so clearly, we are getting close to that, and with that adjustments in many teams’ 40-man rosters. I thought it would be interesting to look at the Cubs’ 40-man roster and how it will shape up after free agents are deleted. Here is the 40-man […]
On October 22nd in 1997, Wayne Gretzky's wife Janet Jones was bloodied and knocked unconscious when a heavy hit by New York Rangers defenseman Ulf Samuelsson on Chicago Blackhawks forward Sergei Krivokrasov dislodged a large pane of plexi-glass striking the 36 year old actress. Jones was treated by team doctors before being carried out of Madison Square Garden on a stretcher and transported by
1911 News broke early, in the Chicago Tribune, that Nixey Callahan would be returning as White Sox manager in 1912, replacing Hugh Duffy. Owner Charles Comiskey emphasized having a manager in Chicago year-round, to help with spring training arrangements and offseason moves — Callahan was a Chicago resident. (The official announcement was made on October […]
