Rangers 6, Cubs 0: Sometimes it’s just not your day. The winning streak ends at 10
Seriously, the headline tells pretty much the story of the Cubs’ 6-0 loss to the Rangers, a defeat that ended their 10-game winning streak, the second such Cubs streak this season. Well, not the entire story. Here’s most of the reason for the loss: I’m not going to complain too much about this, because the […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Brown, Suzuki, Busch
Today’s Reflections I would say, “Mr. Brown! You did an excellent job!”, but you would probably think I was talking to myself. So, ….. “Ben-nie, Ben-nie, Ben-nie and the Cubs!” Hmph, cheesy. Ben Brown delivered Friday night, four innings pitched, no runs, no hits, 31-of-46 pitches for strikes, one batter over the minimum. Excellent. What […]
18-21 – Rangers snap Chicago’s winning streak with 6-0 victory
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Chicago Cubs did not score a run. Welcome to The Shed, Chicago. Pure usual Rangers anti-scoring energy radiated from the Arlington den where the dreadful ley lines for impotent RISP ability seem deeply rooted. Luckily, those undesirable powers wafted from the home dugout over the visitors and […]

Dodgers claim Charlie Barnes off waivers from Cubs
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers claimed pitcher Charlie Barnes off waivers from the Chicago Cubs on Saturday, adding to their potential starting pitcher depth.

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 39
The 2026 Cubs are off to an historic start. It’s an exceedingly rare occurrence to have two distinct 10-game winning streaks over a team’s first 39 games. Certainly none of us have seen the Cubs do anything like this before. For what it’s worth, just from an overall standpoint, it only took the 2016 Cubs […]
Saturday morning Rangers stuff
Good morning ,LSB. The Rangers lost to the Cubs last night with what was, by my count, their fourth horrible loss in five games. Evan Grant focuses on maybe the worst defensive play in MLB this season in his game story. Kennedi Landry writes about the weird night for Kumar Rocker. Jeff Wilson says far […]
Cubs 7, Rangers 1: Ben Brown’s great start helps the winning streak reach 10
All year, the Cubs have gone by a “next man up” mantra. Thus, when Matthew Boyd went down with a knee injury this week, Ben Brown was tabbed to make the start in his place. It was Brown’s first start of the year, and his past results as a starter have been uneven. Like just […]

17-21 – Rangers connect with their city, lose 7-1 to Cubs
The Texas Rangers scored a run but the Chicago Cubs scored seven runs. The Rangers introduced Elvis Cam tonight with Elvis Andrus manning one of the television cameras for an inning or so.

Today’s roster move: Here Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Rangers lineup: Ben Brown, RHP vs. Kumar Rocker, RHP This is Ben Brown’s first start of 2026. Given that he has maxed out at 50 pitches in a game this year — and that was on March 31 vs. the Angels — this is likely to be […]

Cubs roster move: Ethan Roberts activated from IL, Gavin Hollowell optioned
Cubs right-hander Ethan Roberts went on the injured list a couple of weeks ago with a nominee for “Weird Injury of the Year”: Roberts said he was on his ninth rep in a 10-throw workout involving a medicine ball, which is part of his daily routine. Without space to do the drill in the weight […]

Could the Cubs bolster the rotation by trading for Freddy Peralta?
The Cubs’ starting rotation has actually done pretty well in 2026, considering they lost Cade Horton for the season after two starts, and now are missing Matthew Boyd with an injury for the second time this year (and Boyd has a 6.00 ERA in five starts in 2026). The team’s 3.77 starting pitcher ERA ranks […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 38
