Chicago Cubs

I was asked all year whether I thought Chicago Cubs President Jed Hoyer was going to be fired at the end of this season if the team didn't make the postseason, and it just never felt likely to me. The...

Last July, the Chicago Cubs drafted Matt Shaw with the 13th overall pick in the first round of 2023 MLB Draft. And by August 30, he had been promoted all the way up to Double-A Tennessee — an aggressive promotion...

[BN_drinks] CUBS VS DODGERS — This week, the Chicago Cubs are heading out on their second-to-last road trip of the year. They'll start with three games against the Dodgers, before an off-day on Thursday, then head to Colorado to face...

If you are a Chicago Cubs fan of a certain age range, Kerry Wood and Aramis Ramirez were foundational names in forming or solidifying your fandom. The two played on the same Cubs teams for parts of seven seasons, and...

It's about time to find me some pumpkin donuts, my friends ... While Jameson Taillon has had better statistical lines this season in some starts, you'd have to regard yesterday's against that Yankees lineup - as one of his better...

I always like sharing Cubs prospect homers anyway, but three of the ones hit yesterday each sparked in me some thoughts about the prospects who hit them. So I'm sharing these three, with a little note on each player ......

Ultimately, the series did not offer the outcome any of us were hoping for, but at least it didn't turn into a sweep of three straight shutouts. If not for an Isaac Paredes single in the first inning yesterday, it...

The Cubs didn't score a LOT more than they have the last two days, but it doesn't take a lot to beat out 0. Isaac Paredes hit a two-out, bases-loaded, looping liner that scored two runs in the first inning...

CUBS LINEUP — There's an alternate reality where a September Cubs-Yankees matchup at Wrigley Field is actually a big deal. But today, with Caleb Williams starting his first game for the Bears and the Cubs dropping back into obscurity on...

The Caleb Williams Era begins today, and although I am trying not to let my imagination run away with itself, I think it's only fair to acknowledge that he is deservedly quite a bit more hyped than most day one...

Well, it wasn't quite a carbon copy of yesterday's game, but the end result was close enough. The Cubs mustered a little bit more offense in this one, but nothing that was particularly threatening. Then again, the Yankees didn't do...

CUBS LINEUP — The Cubs dropped the opener against the Yankees yesterday, mustering just one hit and four walks over nine scoreless innings of work. Hopefully, they can do a lot more damage than that today in Game 2. Here's...

Juan Soto, 25, is at Wrigley Field this weekend, playing against the Chicago Cubs with his current team, the New York Yankees. But at the end of the year, this 25-year-old will become one of the most sought-after free agents...

Because a playoff run has been extremely unlikely for so long now, I don't really feel the need to pick a day to "call it," but I will point out that the Cubs sank to yet another season low on...

He isn't quite an answer to Juan Soto and Aaron Judge, but Owen Caissie is the closest the Cubs have to a guy who can hit the ball as hard as Giancarlo Stanton. And although the big league Cubs were...

One hit a game after pulling off a no-hitter. Wild. When the big stories of the game are the return of a visiting player, the volume of pigeons in the outfield, and one ultimately meaningless 9th inning at bat that...

You know the Martin Solveig and GTA song, "Intoxicated." Even if you think you don't, I promise you that you know it when you hear it. Specifically, if you're a Cubs fan, you will instinctively do two things upon hearing...

As expected, the Chicago Cubs played a video tribute to Anthony Rizzo upon his return to Wrigley Field this afternoon, and, as expected, it was an emotional moment. This is a guy who meant so much to so many in...

CUBS LINEUP — The Chicago Cubs are starting a brand new series this afternoon, with the first of three games against Anthony Rizzo and the New York Yankees. Regardless of their evaporating playoff odds (we are under 2% now ...),...

If you missed the mention the other day but are looking at tablets, a heads up on a steep discount at Amazon right now on the 10.2-inch version of the iPad (40% off). At this point in my life, because...
