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 […]
MLB News Outside The Confines: The most likeable man in baseball
Good morning.
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 […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Smokies storm back to beat Clingstones, 4-3
The Cubs claimed right-hander Christian Roa off of waivers from the Orioles and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs are Roa’s fourth team this year already. Iowa blew a two-run lead in the ninth. Knoxville rallied after trailing by two in the ninth. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs lost their seventh-straight game, 4-3 to […]
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 […]
Cubs vs. White Sox, Sunday 5/17, 1:10 CT live!
Go get ‘em, Colin.
Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Sunday 5/17, 1:10 CT
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Erick Fedde, RHP Colin Rea was going along pretty well and then the Braves torched him pretty good last Tuesday in Atlanta. But, I’d say Rea does well enough for a fifth starter type. Eats innings, and most of the time gives you a […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 46
In recent years, baseball fans have come to accept the phrase “Because baseball” to describe certain games. Generally, it involves a situation where you look at the matchup on paper and assume that Team A will dominate Team B because of a very favorable matchup. But then Team B wins. And we say, because baseball. […]
White Sox 8, Cubs 3: What the heck, Jameson Taillon?!?!?!?
Jameson Taillon has been a decent starting pitcher in MLB for a decade. Some years have been better than others; his last two were pretty good for the Cubs after a rough first season in Chicago in 2023. I’ve met him and he seems to be a good guy. I’m afraid Jamo might be past […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Kelly, Thornton, Suzuki
Today’s Reflections I’m sure the encyclopedic minds out there will think of a better player, but I can’t imagine that there has been a better non-pitcher “backup” free-agent acquisition in recent years that Carson Kelly. I like Miguel Amaya, but Kelly can stay the Cubs starting catcher for as long as he would like to […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: South Bend scores another 24 runs in Wisconsin
Left-hander Jordan Wicks was activated off the injured list and assigned to Triple-A Iowa. So not much changed for him from his rehab assignment. Left-hander Caleb Thielbar started a rehab assignment for South Bend. So great news from South Bend (or Appleton, technically). You might want to close your eyes for the other games. Iowa […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Saturday 5/16, 6:10 CT
Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Davis Martin, RHP Jameson Taillon threw well in his most recent start, Sunday at Texas, allowing only one run in 5.1 innings. Best of all, he didn’t give up a long ball in that game, just the second time this year he’s done that. […]

The Cubs are walking all over the league
The Cubs drew six walks in Friday’s 10-5 win over the White Sox. That’s the 18th time this year, in 45 games (or 40 percent of games) that the Cubs have drawn at least six walks. The season high is 10, in a 7-4 win over the Phillies April 21. If you’re thinking that’s a […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 45
If you were concerned either that the Cub offense wouldn’t return to form or about how long it would be before it did, then Friday night was a comforting game. The pitching was a little rough around the edges. Most concerningly, they allowed three homers. But that Cub offense had 14 hits and drew six […]
Cubs 10, White Sox 5: Carson Kelly leads an offensive explosion
You knew this Cubs team wasn’t going to be in a hitting drought forever, and they chose one of the best times to come out of that slump, in front of a packed house on the South Side where close to half the crowd was Cubs fans. The Cubs went out to an early lead, […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Happ, Brown, Imanaga
Today’s Reflections Please. Jed. Just re-sign Ian Happ ASAP. You have to look at what he’s doing with bat-to-ball contact compared to how much he swings and misses pitches. Barreling-the-bat percentages aren’t my forte, but Happ been doing so at an over 18-percent rate, which puts him in the top 12 in baseball, ahead of […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: South Bend rolls to a 9-0 win
Catcher Henniel Alcala was promoted from the rookie ball ACL Cubs to Low-A Myrtle Beach. Alcala was 7 for 15 with three doubles and a home run in Mesa on the young season. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs lost their fifth-straight, 4-3 in 11 innings to the Nashville Sounds (Brewers) Jordan Wicks gave the I-Cubs […]

Go get ‘em, Edward.
Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Friday 5/15, 6:40 CT
Friday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Edward Cabrera, RHP vs. Sean Burke, RHP Edward Cabrera was going along pretty well this year, then he got hit hard by the Rangers last Saturday. Of concern as well: After allowing no home runs in his first four starts covering 22.2 innings, he’s now served up seven […]

On The Horizon: Cubs vs. White Sox series preview
The White Sox are over .500 this late in the season for the first time since 2022. Thus, the Cubs should not underestimate them. They might not be a great team, but they are certainly improved over what they were the last couple of years. For more on the White Sox, here’s Chrystal O’Keefe, managing […]
