Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Outfielder Dylan Carlson has re-signed with the Cubs and was assigned to Triple-A Iowa. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs scuttled the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 7-6. Jordan Wicks made a rehab start for Iowa today and got some good results. Wicks went three scoreless innings and gave up just one hit. Wicks struck out two and […]
When the White Sox took a 5-0 lead in the second inning, the game had the makings of another laugher. Instead, 10 walks by Sox pitchers and eight to go with four hit batters by the A’s staff turned a runaway win into a groaner, with the Sox losing, 7-6, in extras.. The big Sox […]
It took a couple extra innings but our A’s came out on top on Saturday afternoon, beating the Chicago White Sox 7-6 to knot up the series and send it to the rubber match tomorrow. More to come…
It’s a strategy familiar to anyone who follows baseball. Middle innings, team rallying, left-handed hitter comes up. The team on defense sends in a left-handed reliever. The batting team counters with a right-handed pinch-hitter. That was the scenario in the bottom of the sixth on a sunny, but chilly Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is now under a week away. Much of the discussion has been around the first round that takes place on Thursday, seeing as though the consensus top prospects figure to have their names called that day. However, don’t forget that there are two more days of the draft, While a lot […]
Unfortunately, pleasurable though being on the winning side of a blowout may be, the rules say you have to start the next game all over again at 0-0. That’s a bad break for the White Sox, who had about as many hits last night as they’d had in a normal week over the past four […]
Chicago Blackhawks forward Ilya Mikheyev will be a player to watch now that the offseason is here for the Original Six club. The 31-year-old forward is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA), and it will be interesting to see if the Blackhawks extend him. He has been a very good addition for them, but it would also make sense if he tested the market after his strong season. In 77 games this season, he had 18 goals and a career-high 36 points. If Mikheyev ends up becoming a UFA this year, look...
Well, last night was rough. But it’s a new day! The A’s get a chance to get back in the win column this afternoon in the middle game of their weekend series hosting the Chicago White Sox. Gotta win today if we want a chance to get the series win this weekend. Getting the ball […]
Go get ‘em, Jamo.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are here, which once again means it’s time for us Blackhawks to watch everyone else enjoy the experience of postseason hockey! Hooray. Anyway, we’ll continue our trends of posting two playoff game threads a week: one on Monday that covers the games through Thursday, and one on Friday for the weekend games. Our predictions for the opening round are in this article and feel free to add your own in the comments of that article. There’s also time to join the...

Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Mets lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Freddy Peralta, RHP Jameson Taillon’s three starts this year can be described as: Mediocre, decent and not so much.

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 20 Cubs 4, Mets 2: Carson Kelly’s pinch home run wins the game Cubs vs. Mets, Saturday 4/18, 1:20 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. New York Mets preview, Saturday 4/18, 1:20 CT
The first part of this roster move, you already know, as the Cubs placed reliever Daniel Palencia on the 15-day injured list before Friday’s game with an oblique issue. Here’s how it happened (Bluesky link): No roster move was made Friday, as this happened very close to game time, so the Cubs played Friday’s 12-4 […]
It’s yet another postseason without the Blackhawks in it, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be watching! With the playoffs starting this weekend, the SCH crew gathered to offer some of their thoughts on it. Western Conference Colorado Avalanche (No. 1 overall seed) vs. Los Angeles Kings (WC2) Dave : I initially created this article about a week before the end of the season, when we still didn’t know who’d win the second wild card spot, inserting “who cares” as a placeholder. Even t...
Meet the Mets The title kind of says it all, doesn’t it? The Mets lost their ninth straight yesterday afternoon in their first in a three-game series against the Cubs in Chicago. Kodai Senga got knocked around for the second straight start, giving up seven runs (six earned) in 3.1 innings of work. The suffering […]
At the moment, I’m not on the IL. I am, however, perpetually listed day-to-day. “Every page these days has some form of advertising. {$} means paywall. {$} means limited views. Italics are often used on this page as sarcasm font. The powers that be have enabled real sarcasm font in the comments.“ Food For Thought: D Man […]
Just like that, there is no real reason to parse scoring stats for the Cubs anymore. With 33 runs over their last three games and 47 over five, they are now up to 106 runs in 19 games (~5.6/game). Last season, over the whole season, they averaged about 4.9 runs per game. Summer weather and […]
I don’t want to take ALL the credit, but the White Sox put on a show for their first game out west this season and my first game back with South Side Sox. Let’s break it down because the scoring, taking advantage of the Athletics mistakes and making the plays on defense started early and […]
The Athletics were back in action this evening at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento as they began a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox. Aaron Civale got the start for the A’s tonight against Davis Martin for the White Sox. Andrew Benintendi doubled to lead off the game on a ball that scooted […]
Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 4, Charlotte Knights 1Sleepy Charlotte checked out of the game to give Jacksonville an easy 4-1 win, extending the losing streak to four. Although 12 strikeouts and five hits are poor stats, at least Rikuu Nishida notched his first Triple-A home run on a nasty slider that kept Charlotte from being shut […]
For their first West Coast road trip of the year, the Chicago White Sox need to find some gold. They’re looking to do so against the hot Athletics, who are 9-4 in their last 13 games. It’ll be a tall task, but if the Sox were able to dig deep and sweep the Toronto Blue […]
The Athletics are back at it this evening at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento as they begin a three-game series against the American League Central rivals, the Chicago White Sox. The 6-13 White Sox are currently sitting in last place in the AL Central while the A’s are 10-9 and are tied for first […]
The Mets came to Wrigley Field riding an eight-game losing streak in which they had been outscored 44-12. Those sorts of things are usually ripe for the losing streak team to break it, especially with the wind blowing out at the ol’ ballyard. Not in this one. The Mets looked like a team in disarray […]
Going into the Mets’ matinee with the Cubs, things were bleak. The Mets lost eight straight, the bats were dead, and the starting pitching has been inconsistent. Well, things got worse, and the Mets dropped their ninth straight, losing to the Cubs 12-4. The Mets managed to make fairly good contact off of Cubs starter […]
