The Pete Crow-Armstrong contract extension by the numbers
The Cubs wrapped up their first series against the Nationals at home over the weekend. It didn’t go as planned with the North iders dropping two of three games after both Matthew Boyd and Shōta Imanaga had some trouble with the long ball. But the big news last week wasn’t the opening series, it came […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Angels series preview
We’re still in March. And the Cubs are once again facing a team that only comes in once… and this time, a team from the West Coast. And after today, the weather forecast looks dicey. So expect either a) postponements or b) games played in poor conditions or c) both. For more on the Angels, […]
Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, March 30 edition
Welcome back to “Three up, three down,” a review of the previous week’s worth of Cubs action during the regular season. Of course, we don’t have an entire week to review, just three games. Nevertheless, there are some positives — and negatives — that came out of the season-opening series against the Washington Nationals. Here […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 3
A few times each year, a series happens and I wonder why I do all of this. On some level, I mean recapping these games. But on other levels, it is even just being a fan. Baseball lends itself to so many disappointments. In 42 years of watching this team, I’ve followed so many stupid […]
MLB News: CB Bucknor, ABS Challenge, Eugenio Suarez, World Series odds, Opening Day, Bo Bichette
Happy Monday, everyone! We’ve gotten through the first series of the season (it could have gone better for hte Cubs, let’s just not talk about it), and the season is underway. We’ve already seen the ABS system getting used a bunch, often with game-changing impact, and we’ll get into that below, but it has especially […]

Nationals 6, Cubs 3: Home runs by Alex Bregman and Ian Happ are not enough
Before you start complaining about Shōta Imanaga serving up another home run at an inopportune time (with two runners on base), consider that you’re not going to win many games when you get only four hits and three of them are solo homers. That was the tale of the Cubs’ 6-3 loss to the Nationals […]
Iowa Cubs Wrap: I-Cubs bullpen meltdown leads to 7-5 loss
The Iowa Cubs were caught hibernating by the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 7-5. It was a good start for Jaxon Wiggins, who went four innings and allowed just one run on two hits. Wiggins struck out six and walked two. Here’s Wiggins getting a strikeout. Meanwhile, the I-Cubs took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Washington Nationals preview, Sunday 3/29, 1:20 CT
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Nationals lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Jake Irvin, RHP Today, we begin to find out whether Shōta Imanaga can recover his 2024 form. Even then, he did allow a fair number of home runs, but his walk rate was low and he kept guys off base enough to have an outstanding […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 2
The Cubs bounced back in a significant way after a disappointing Opening Day performance. Cade Horton got them on the right foot with three perfect innings to start, on his way to 6.1 innings and only two runs allowed. Offensively, the Cubs turned nine hits and six walks into 10 runs as they evened this […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Hoerner, Horton, PCA
I admit that I have my PCA jersey on. We had Chicago dogs for lunch and I have one Old Style left from a trip to Rocco’s a bit ago. Much more noise has been made about his deal than Nico Hoerner’s, as Pete has been anointed the new ‘face’. I suspect PCA is equal […]
Iowa Cubs Wrap: I-Cubs fall late to Columbus, 4-3
The Iowa Cubs were broadsided by the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 4-3. Iowa scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning and then didn’t score again. First, left fielder Justin Dean walked to lead off the bottom of the inning. He then stole second, went to third on a bad throw and scored on […]
Cubs 10, Nationals 2: Cade Horton and Miguel Amaya lead the way
The sun came out over Wrigley Field Saturday afternoon, though it was still quite chilly, 41 degrees at game time. The Cubs followed the bright sunshine in pleasing the 34,834 in attendance by getting a strong outing from Cade Horton and home runs from Miguel Amaya and Ian Happ and crushed the visiting Nationals 10-2. […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Washington Nationals preview, Saturday 3/28, 1:20 CT
Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Nationals lineup: Cade Horton, RHP vs. Miles Mikolas, RHP Cade Horton had a magnificent rookie season, especially his last 12 starts, in which he posted a 1.03 ERA and 0.783 WHIP. His only start vs. the Nats last year came before that 12-start run, June 3 in Washington. He still had […]

Chicago Cubs news and notes — Boyd, Heyward, Hoerner, PCA
No game Friday. Today Cade Horton matches up against our old friend Miles Mikolas, trying to put a bow tie on the series. Mikolas isn’t quite what he used to be, but he still has moxie and tenacity. We have plenty of videos to watch and some good articles to get you revved up for […]

Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs boarded and seized the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 5-2. Javier Assad got the Opening […]
Cubs extend Nico Hoerner with six-year, $141 million deal
This news just broke, so here it is, without details: I think everyone here is thrilled with this news. Nico Hoerner has become the heart and soul of this Cubs team, a terrific player offensively and defensively and a great human being as well. Presuming this deal begins after this year — as PCA’s extension […]
Pete Crow-Armstrong is exactly who the Cubs need as the face of the franchise
The Cubs officially announced the long-term signing of Pete Crow-Armstrong by press release late Thursday. As is the team’s custom, they did not announce the terms, though it has been reported as a six-year, $115 million deal with no opt-outs that will begin next year. That binds PCA to the Cubs through 2032. Late Thursday, […]
