As I’ve said before, I sleep a lot easier after losses like yesterday’s than losses like Thursday’s (the one the bullpen blew against the Pirates). It was a “worse” loss, but I can’t go back in my mind and say, “if only this would have happened, they would have won” – because they would have needed a whole lot of “this” to win yesterday’s blowout.

I don't like to use "ambush" lightly. But what would you call it when the Cubs put five balls in play over 100 MPH, including a single, a double, and two home runs en route to putting five runs on...
Ian Happ was back in the Cubs lineup tonight after missing a few games with a sore hamstring. And in his first at-bat back, he sent one 412 feet to dead-center field for a VERY long double (Statcast says it...

I know what you're thinking – what the heck is this basketball junkie doing over here on our turf!? He normally only shows up when he accidentally puts his Bulls articles in the wrong category! I need a little palate cleanser...
