Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Join Chelsea and United in Bowen Chase
As poorly as the 2025-26 season has gone for Liverpool, it’s gone quite a bit worse for West Ham. London’s Hammers appear a near-lock for relegation, as they would both need to beat Leeds on the final day and for Spurs to earn no points from their final two matches against Chelsea and Everton. If, […]
A few thoughts about the kerfuffle between Pete Crow-Armstrong and the White Sox fan
Now that the kerfuffle referenced in the headline is settled, I thought I’d weigh in on it. As you know, Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong got into it with a White Sox fan during Sunday’s game> it happened after PCA just missed a spectacular catch in center field and sat on the field for a […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 48
The Cubs have now dropped seven of nine after opening their recent trip with their 10th straight win. We are allowed, even at a crummy time to pull the camera back and say that the team has won 22 of 32 and that remains an incredible stretch of baseball. And without any parsing of numbers, […]
Brewers 9, Cubs 3: Shōta Imanaga implodes and the long home winning streak ends
Shōta Imanaga has been so good this year that I think all of us hoped he had turned the page on 2025 and would have a 2024-type season all year. Until Monday, that was the case. Unfortunately, Imanaga got hit hard and had his worst start of the year (and to be honest, he had […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Conforto, PCA, Happ
Today’s Reflections ….. unless it’s Michael Conforto! On Sunday, I had posted that “I can’t imagine that there has been a better non-pitcher “backup” free-agent acquisition in recent years that Carson Kelly”. And I stand by that — Kelly is the No. 1 player at his position who takes on all comers at the plate. […]
For White Sox, an infamous day may become a famous one
Wow! This is being written May 18, more than a quarter of the way through the 2026 season, and the White Sox are two games over .500 for the first time since September, 2022, and better yet, they just took a series from the Evildoers of the North Side in spectacular fashion! Wow, indeed! Why […]
Brewers come out swinging in 9-3 rout of Cubs
Box Score In the first of 13 meetings between the Brewers and Cubs this season, the Brewers set the tone for these matchups. Though the Cubs were riding a 15-game home winning streak and had their ace on the mound, it didn’t faze the Brewers at all. They scored eight runs off of Shota Imanaga […]

The regular season is nearing the two-month mark, but the Brewers and Cubs have not played yet this season. That changes tonight as the two teams open the first of four series, which could end up deciding the NL Central. The season is just over a quarter of the way done, and the National League […]
Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Monday 5/18, 6:40 CT
Monday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Brandon Sproat, RHP As you’ll recall, Shōta Imanaga’s second half was so bad that the Cubs didn’t use him in the deciding game of the division series in 2025. Things have changed. Imanaga is 100 percent healthy again and in three starts this month he […]

Chicago Cubs update: Alex Bregman, Ben Brown, Jacob Webb
The Cubs just completed a 3-6 road trip. They were outscored 41-33 and those numbers are only that “good” because the first game of the trip was a 7-1 win over the Rangers. After that they were shut out twice and had some bullpen failures. Hopefully, some home cooking this week will help them get […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 47
If you are not all over MLB social media, you might not know that come from behind wins often get tagged with a wheeee! That’s because the game graph usually looks like a slide or a sled hill. This one was wild enough that it looks a little like a bad EKG. One where the […]

Chicago Cubs history unpacked, May 18
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Eric Young Sr., and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1897, Bill Joyce hits four triples to lead the New York Giants to an 11-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Exposition Park. This is the last time this feat has been accomplished in major league history. Previously, George Strief of the American […]

White Sox 9, Cubs 8: This space intentionally left blank
You can probably guess why the headline to this recap is what it is, because, well, there aren’t many non-profane words to describe the Cubs’ 9-8 loss to the White Sox Sunday afternoon on the South Side. Two blown three-run leads. A remarkable ninth-inning comeback. And then… well, just too many home runs served up […]
Braves vs. Red Sox series recap: No letdowns allowed around here, apparently
The quick six-game homestand for the Atlanta Braves is now over and like everything they’ve done so far during this season, they passed the test with flying colors.

Game Thread: Cubs (29-17) at White Sox (23-22)
On June 9, 2008, the world’s eyes were trained on Steve Jobs as he got up on a stage to announce the release of the iPhone 3G, the first “new model year” of what we didn’t know at the time was the most important technological innovation of the 21st century. A little under three weeks […]
