Pre-Gamin’: Cubs at Dodgers (9:10 CT) – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Thank goodness for the power today, and the Patrick Wisdom insurance run late. The Cubs needed every bit of it, and the game ended with the tying run on second and lead run on first. Exhale. Jameson Taillon was brilliant,...

May the Fourth obviously has Star Wars on the brain, which makes me want to watch something Star Wars-y today. The very best thing is probably 'Andor,' but I keep resisting re-watching it until we're MUCH closer to season two...

That's how you start the day, my friends. Ni-co, we-go: https://twitter.com/CubsZone/status/1786824886956036172 That's Hoerner's first homer of the year, and hopefully it'll stand up a little better than yesterday's solo homer from Christopher Morel for a 1-0 lead ... https://twitter.com/Taylor_McGregor/status/1786824978710630498

Ah, technology. I have no idea why this post, and it's twin are showing up as posted on New Year's Day, 1970. So we'll let the mystery linger. Finally we get word from Zambrano, himself, that he will not be...

Finally we get word from Zambrano, himself, that he will not be pitching for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, despite Venezuela's stated belief that he is. I'd love to find out the details from behind the scenes as to...
