Chicago Cubs vs. New York Yankees preview, Sunday 8/2, 1:20 CT
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Yankees lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Gerrit Cole, RHP Just when you think Colin Rea is past his sell-by date, he comes up with a solid performance, six one-run innings against the Cardinals last Tuesday. Of course, it helped that the Cubs gave him a 7-0 lead before the bottom of […]

Cubs 5, Yankees 2: Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong spark a winning rally
If you’ve ever wondered what it might feel like if the Cubs and Yankees ever meet in the World Series in this century, Saturday night at Wrigley Field gave at least a hint. Between the cool, cloudy, breezy weather that made it feel almost like October, the large contingent of Yankees fans, the national TV […]
Chicago Cubs news — Imanaga, Ramirez, Amaya
Today’s Reflections Shōta Imanaga pitched more than just “well enough” for the Cubs to have won Friday’s game with the Yankees. Yes, he’s back to the home-run ball. Luckily, they were two solo shots. Despite that, I would take two runs over 6.2 IP each and every day. Bad luck for him. And welcome Antoine […]

Fox Saturday Night Baseball Bingo: Cubs vs. Yankees

Chicago Cubs news — Bregman, Hoerner, Boyd, PCA, Happ, Assad
Today’s Reflections What an interesting way to end a series — consecutive extra-inning games. With the Manfred Man, the 10th inning is a toss-up, which was evident as the Cubs and Cardinals split the games in extra time (World Cup, go away!). That gave Chicago the three-games-to-one win in the series. The MVP of the […]

Yankees 2, Cubs 0: Shōta Imanaga allows a pair of solo homers…
This is going to be a pretty short game recap, as recaps here go. Because what more can I say about the Cubs’ 2-0 loss to the Yankees except what’s in the headline and the blurb below the headline? That’s the story of the game: Two solo homers off Shōta Imanaga and teh Cubs failing […]

Cubs roster move: Antoine Kelly called up, Gavin Hollowell to injured list
In a season when the Cubs have already used 34 different pitchers (plus Carson Kelly pitched once), they’ve added another pitcher to the mix. Left-hander Antoine Kelly, acquired from the Dodgers June 6 for cash considerations, has been called up from Triple-A Iowa and added to the 26-man active roster. Kelly has made 13 appearances […]

The Cubs will not face old friend Cody Bellinger in this series, as the Yankees outfielder hit the injured list this week with a hamstring strain. Also, as you likely know, the Yankees are spending an entire week in Chicago, having just split with the White Sox in a four-game series on the South Side. […]

Cubs 4, Cardinals 2: Doubles by Alex Bregman and Ian Happ win it in extras
You could be forgiven if you were thinking, as you were watching Thursday’s 4-2, 10-inning Cubs win over the Cardinals, “Didn’t we see this game yesterday?” Tightly fought game? Check. Extra innings? Check. Two-run Cubs lead heading to the bottom of the 10th? Check. This time, Jacob Webb and Aaron Civale held the line on […]
