Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Cubs right-hander Cade Horton, who shapes up to be the No. 2 starter after Matthew Boyd begins the season, had an excellent six-inning outing against the Brewers Sunday at Sloan Park. Okay, so it was against a team of Brewers minor leaguers, as all the MLB Brewers had departed for Milwaukee Sunday, as they have […]
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers wrapped up their Cactus League slate in Mesa, Arizona on Sunday afternoon, as they took a rough 12-0 loss at the hands of the Chicago Cubs. Is this a worrying loss? Perhaps even less than other spring training games, which are already of very little concern. In this one, the […]
1904 Bob Elson, who would become the longest-tenured broadcaster in White Sox history, was born in Chicago. Elson graduated from DePaul but became a WGN voice in 1929 almost completely by accident, being pulled into an audition while merely taking a tour of KWK in St. Louis and then WGN snatching him home. He would […]

It’s a good thing that it’s still spring training and not the regular season because this was the type of performance that would’ve resulted in a very rough outing for Reynaldo López had it come in a game that counted. Instead, it’s something to think about with the regular season on the horizon as López […]
Although the San Diego Padres Prospects lost a 7-5 game against the Chicago Cubs Prospects at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz. on Saturday, there were multiple notable and positive signs to come from the contest. With a farm system currently ranked at or near the bottom according to multiple evaluators, the Padres fielded a team […]
Go get ‘em, Cade.

Following a loss on Friday night, the Chicago Blackhawks host the Nashville Predators on Sunday afternoon — a team that was supposed to be at the bottom of the standings, but has snuck their way back into the playoff conversation. The Predators are currently in the second wild card spot with 73 points. That’s right: even though Nashville was supposed to be hanging out in the basement of the league alongside the Blackhawks, they’ve won three straight, have a 5-4-1 record in their last 10 g...
On Monday, we asked you guys to vote for the Chicago Bears’ biggest remaining need, and more than half of you said defensive end, which is exactly how I voted. The entire defensive line unit received 84% of the vote, which would jibe with what Bill wrote earlier this week when he shared his concerns […]
Colin Rea threw four efficient innings Saturday night in Peoria, Arizona and the Cubs defeated the Mariners 7-1. Rea threw 77 pitches (50 strikes) and generally looked like the solid pitcher he was for the Cubs most of last year. He’ll be in a long relief/spot starter role to begin the season and he seems […]
Ryan Brasier needs a job. This is said to be a blister issue: There was some weirdness with the MLB.TV signal. Ended up watching the Mariners telecast. Game results: Cubs 7, Mariners 1. Cubs 7, Padres 5. Miscellaneous: *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means limited views. Italics are often used on […]
For a year-and-a-half starting in 2024, the White Sox ran out one of the worst offenses in modern history. Due to a combination of dumb luck and an influx of young bats, the club climbed out of its hitting tomb and started haunting MLB pitching in the second half last year. Unfortunately, this coming summer […]
If there was much to be seen in tonight’s game, it came early. Ironically, in a match up that was moved to the night time so as to mitigate the record heat wave scorching nearly the entire American West, the only things of major consequence came while the sun was still up. A sloppy first […]
If action was what you sought, action you found as prospects of the Dodgers and White Sox engaged in a slugfest to wrap up Saturday evening on one of five MLB Spring Breakout games on the docket. Despite trailing 8-2 at one point in the middle of the second inning, the Dodgers crawled back for […]
The Spring Breakout game may be the most fun game of Spring Training and the Cubs prospects hit four solo home runs to beat the Padres prospects, 7-5 at Sloan Park. Will Sanders started for the Cubs and he was impressive, throwing his fastball at an average 95 miles per hour, which is about 2.5 […]
