Latest news and updates about the Cubs
Today’s Reflections I would like to say that Clay Holmes’ game Friday night wasn’t that bad when he left the game. However, end the end, it WAS a bad game. Holmes allowed only three hits over 5.1 innings with four strikeouts, but five big walks doomed him. He had a rough first three innings as […]

We have reached the point in the season where each win is critical. With as well as the Cubs and Padres are playing right now, the Phillies need to win as many games as they possibly can, playing with some kind of verve in order to make the playoffs. What we’re getting is another embarrassing […]
Go get ‘em, Matthew.
I just got off the road after heading back from my son’s recruit camp and it’s only about 30 minutes from first pitch, so this is only being done for posterity. Plus, I made about 4 typos just trying to get the headline set, so there’s no use in me trying to add much.

By Connor Byrne | at September 19, 2026 1:40pm CDT The Cubs reinstated shortstop Dansby Swanson from the 10-day injured list before a 6-4 loss to the Reds on Friday. Swanson missed a little over a month with an oblique strain. Playing his first game since Aug. 16, Swanson went 1 for 3 with a walk. Aside from the injury, this has been a typical season for the 32-year-old, who has continued to blend high-grade defense with offense that hovers around league average. Swanson has accounted for 16 O...

With the regular season winding down, the Chicago Cubs are looking to secure the top National League Wild Card spot.

Friday was another rough day at the park for the Cubs. The story really is the offense turning nine hits, four walks and a hit batter into four runs. One of those four runs was on a solo homer. So all of that traffic didn’t do the Cubs a ton of good. Simultaneously, the Reds […]
Ty France hit his career-high 21st home run of the season to cap a six-run fifth inning to help lead the San Diego Padres to an 8-2 win over the Miami Marlins at Petco Park on Friday night. The win by the Padres combined with losses by the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies pulled them […]

Today’s Reflections Hot take here: I think it is a lot more enjoyable watching PCA’s quest at 40/40 than Sosa/McGwire ‘98. Back then, almost 140 home runs between two guys (yes, it was “unreal and unprecedented”), but it got a little predictable and boring. Sammy never met a curtain call he didn’t love. I haven’t […]
The Cubs took on the Reds in the first game of their series at Great American Ball Park Friday night.
