Surprise Brewers assistant coach listed as name to watch for MLB manager job openings
The Milwaukee Brewers have been a model of success for the past decade, and it’s quite clear the rest of the league has taken notice. From the Mets’ long-known courtship of David Stearns, to Craig Counsell leaving for the Cubs, to Walker McKinven going to the White Sox, and so many others, teams have been […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Padres series preview
These teams meet for the first time since the Cubs defeated the Padres in last year’s tightly-fought Wild Card Series.

Cubs update: Seiya Suzuki, Moisés Ballesteros, Michael Busch
The Cubs had a 5-2 week, which on its face is excellent. The way it ended, with two losses to the Dodgers after sweeping the Phillies and mounting a stirring comeback Friday in Los Angeles, wasn’t great. But this team is still showing that it can compete with anyone, even with multiple bullpen injuries. Here’s […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 28
I don’t want to be too hasty, but I think this Shohei Ohtani kid is going to be pretty good and these Dodgers aren’t bad. It’s always great to catch a legendary player at the tail end of a cooler. He woke up over the weekend and had a very productive couple of games at […]

Dodgers 6, Cubs 0: It just wasn’t Shōta Imanaga’s day
This series wasn’t going to be easy, we all knew that before it began. And when Shōta Imanaga had a 32-pitch first inning in which he allowed a pair of walks and three runs, that made the Cubs’ task that much more difficult. That, and the fact that the Cubs again had RISP issues, going […]
Justin Wrobleski keeps on rolling as Dodgers shut out Cubs
The Dodgers took the three-game series from the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, as Justin Wrobleski and the bullpen held the Cubs silent in a 6-0 shutout win. For a second straight game, Nico Hoerner led off the game with a base hit, and the Cubs put two men on with only one out against Wrobleski. […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 27
I find it appropriate to start out by hat tipping the Dodgers offense. They curb stomped Colin Rea and Javier Assad in this one. A further hat tip to four Dodger relievers who combined to allow just two hits and a walk over the final four innings of the game. The Dodgers offense and bullpen […]
Dodgers 12, Cubs 4: The 10-game winning streak ends with a thud
One thing that is absolutely, undeniably true about sports is that all winning streaks must end, sometime. Thus we knew that eventually, the Cubs would lose another game after going on their longest winning streak since the World Series year of 2016. It’s not always pretty when winning streaks end and that was the case […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Dansby Swanson, Nico Hoerner, Edward Cabrera
Today’s Reflections When Rick Monday woke up 50 years ago yesterday, I’m guessing he would never have expected to become an American hero. Neither had I as my dad sat me down to watch a delayed TV clip when I was 11. I was still trying to figure out what a bicentennial was, why girls […]
