2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Tyrone Taylor is the Superhero vs. the Mariners
It might feel like we can’t have nice things as Cub fans after a game like this. I’m sure there will be dozens of storylines all across the internet about the Cubs and blown saves on a day like this. And I’m not blowing smoke at anyone. I’m not revisiting this after a Saturday night […]
Mariners 5, Cubs 4: The Jacob Webb disaster
SEATTLE — It was just six days ago that Pete Crow-Armstrong led off the game for the Cubs with a home run on the first pitch of the game and then hit another one for a walk-off win. Now the Cubs have seen it happen against them, courtesy of Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena, who hit […]
Chicago Cubs news — Bregman, Happ, Busch, PCA, Palencia, Boyd
Today’s Reflections What a winnable mess that was in Seattle Friday night. And Matthew Boyd created it. The lefthander allowed just six home runs in his first 12 games this season. In four August games, Boyd has allowed eight home runs in the last four starts, including two three-run and three two-run blasts. Boyd called […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Seattle Mariners preview, Saturday 8/22, 6:15 CT
SEATTLE — Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Mariners lineup: David Peterson, LHP vs. Kade Anderson, LHP David Peterson returns to the Cubs rotation after a one-outing detour to the bullpen, in which he threw 1.1 scoreless innings Monday against the White Sox, throwing 22 pitches, so he should be well rested for today’s game. Overall since […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Alex Bregman is the Superhero vs. the Mariners
If you were an outsider to Cubs/Mariners on Friday night, it was a thrilling back and forth game. The Mariners appear to be a team on the outside looking in, though they are within striking distance of a division title in a down year for the AL West. Despite that, this had that feel of […]
Mariners 6, Cubs 5: Alex Bregman homers twice, but then there’s that RISPy business
SEATTLE — To begin this recap of Friday night’s 6-5 Cubs 10-inning loss to the Mariners, I thought it would be appropriate to give you this fact from BCB’s JohnW53, because this is the primary reason the Cubs lost this game: The Cubs’ 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position was their worst with […]
Chicago Cubs news— Holmes, Bregman, Hoerner, Taylor
Today’s Reflections So, the White Sox have in Jose Urquidy the equivalent of the Cubs’ Javier Assad. For example: August 19th, Urquidy, planned reliever in the third inning for an opener: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K. June 6th, Assad, emergency reliever in the second inning for a Jameson Taillon implosion: […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Seattle Mariners preview, Friday 8/21, 9:10 CT
SEATTLE — Today’s roster moves: Here Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Mariners lineup: Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. Emerson Hancock, RHP Matthew Boyd had been so good in his first nine starts back from his knee injury that his four-homer clunker against the Cardinals last Saturday was pretty shocking. Even with that awful game he’s still at […]

Cubs roster moves: Daniel Palencia activated from IL, Gabriel Arias added
Daniel Palencia had a good year as Cubs closer in 2025 despite some injury issues. He had more time on the IL this year, first with an oblique strain and then a flexor injury. Today, the Cubs activated Palencia from the injured list after five rehab outings, the last two of which were pretty good. […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Mariners series preview
SEATTLE — Yes, I’ve made the trip to the Pacific Northwest for this three-game series. If you’re going to the games check BCB social media later, I’ll post my seat location. The Mariners made the ALCS last year and came within an agonizing Game 7 of making their first World Series. Now they’re struggling to […]
The Short Porch is taking a closer look at Seiya Suzuki
It’s been a baseball season to remember in Chicago. The Cubs and White Sox are both playing excellent baseball and if the playoffs started tomorrow they’d both be in the field. Pete Crow-Armstrong is putting together a season for the ages on the corner of Clark and Addison. The ten-year anniversary of the Cubs 2016 […]
Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts isn’t as ‘cheap’ as some say he is
With the Cubs/Mariners game not happening until 9:10 p.m. CT tonight, I thought I’d take a bit of time today to address something that’s bothered me recently. To wit: The claims by many fans that “Tom Ricketts is cheap!” Yes, it is true that the Cubs have not spent as much money as, say, the […]
The Cubs are having a 150th anniversary celebration next weekend
As you know, the Cubs are the only MLB franchise to be in its original location since the National League was founded in 1876. So that makes this the 150th anniversary of the team, and throughout the year the Cubs have been honoring that history in many different ways. Thursday, the club announced a 150th […]
