The City of Chicago holds deep pride in its sports teams. This is despite the fact that each franchise within the City has had a history of inconsistent success, at best.

One of Major League Baseball's top sluggers has no plans to participate in this year's Home Run Derby.
Tuesday notes… Cubs lineup: Padres lineup: Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. JP Sears, LHP Matthew Boyd’s return to action after his freak knee injury was pretty good, 4.2 shutout innings against the Mets last Thursday. He did walk four and threw 76 pitches, so perhaps he can ramp up to 90+ tonight. Boyd’s outing vs. the […]

He adds: "Right now we're coming up short."
This was a game that the San Diego Padres could have easily won. The lineup put 11 runners in scoring position against the Chicago Cubs and only managed to convert two of them into runs. Because of that, Chicago was able to walk off the Friars, becoming the first, and only, team to do so […]

Last night’s game at Wrigley Field had an air of playoff baseball from the early innings. Perhaps it was a throwback to the last time the San Diego Padres played at Wrigley Field during the Wild Card round in 2025. Or maybe it was that both the Cubs and the Padres find themselves squarely in […]
I had an oh-duh moment while watching this one play out. I have to go back down the rabbit hole, because I don’t see anyone keeping the full total. I know this is 10 walk-offs. I’m pretty certain the number is three for road wins in their last at bat. But I don’t recall if […]
Former New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza’s tenure came to an unceremonious end last week, with little more than a passive-voice social media post and a combative press conference with General Manager David Stearns. With the team coming off an embarrassing series against the Chicago Cubs and officially falling into the depths of the wild […]
It’s probably indicative of how badly the San Diego Padres missed infielder Jake Cronenworth that after being on the seven-day concussion list since May 5, Cronenworth got three rehab games before the team activated him before their first contest against the Cubs in Chicago. When he was placed on the injured list, Cronenworth had already […]
Jase Bowen was the hero of the game for the San Diego Padres in their series opening game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Monday night – until he wasn’t. Bowen made a catch in shallow left field on a fly ball by Michael Busch with no outs and the bases loaded. After […]
The Cubs began a six-game homestand on a sultry, humid Monday at Wrigley Field coming off a very successful 6-1 road trip. And then the bats fell mostly silent and you could have been forgiven if you thought, “Here we go again.” In the end, though, the Cubs got solid pitching from Shōta Imanaga and […]
Today’s Reflections A win by a guy that the New York Mets couldn’t wait to get rid of. A bullpen game. A bullpen win. Against the Brewers. In extra innings! Yes, the bats were present: Two big games by Seiya Suzuki and Nico Hoerner. A big blast by Ian Happ. Walks were huge – by […]
