Horrible History, Morel’s Knee, Almonte’s Shoulder, Hoerner, Wesneski, Hendricks, Mervis, and Other Cubs Bullets

To the fathers out there, and to the folks with fathers in your life, a very happy Father's Day. Cliche but true: being a dad is the most important, hardest, and happiest part of my life. The call was bad,...

Good starting pitching, good offense, good defense, good baserunning, and good bullpenning? All in one game? This cannot be legal. But the Cubs did it in their 5-1 win over the Cardinals yesterday. Enjoy all the phases if you missed...

Although it looked like the Cubs were about to follow The Script once again today, they finally made some critical edits. They did get the great starting pitching performance that has frequently been available to them, with Shōta Imanaga pitching...
