The Cubs won’t get to 3 million tickets sold this year
In 2025, the Cubs crossed the three million tickets sold line for the first time since 2019, and wound up with a paid attendance of 3,017,983, or 37,259 per date. That included two “home” games at the Tokyo Dome which had paid attendance of 42,365 and 42,367, above Wrigley Field’s current capacity of 41,649. For […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Matt Shaw is the Superhero vs. the Braves
The back and forth has happened so often that it’s not even really disconcerting anymore. This team can be so good. But it’s really fragile. It can evaporate in a hurry. Tuesday night’s game was one that against a lesser opponent probably would have been a win going away. The Cubs generated a ton of […]
Braves 6, Cubs 3: The Jacob Webb disaster, part 4
What would you call the opposite of a baseball manager’s “circle of trust”? Because that’s where the Cubs are probably going to have to send Jacob Webb after yet another blown save, yet another two-run homer served up, yet another game where it’s clear he can no longer be used in high-leverage situations. The numbers […]

It’s a […]

The Short Porch is looking at the Postseason picture
The Cubs took the first of a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves on Monday night. It was a bit more adventurous than most games where a team jumps out to a 7-0 lead have any right to be, but that’s how it goes when your offense is ranked first in baseball while your pitching […]

If Pete Crow-Armstrong gets to 40/40 against the Braves, the Cubs should stop the game for a ceremony. Here’s why.
Before I begin, I want to make it clear that I’m kidding about all of this. Mostly. Let me set the scene as to why I feel the Cubs ought to do a grand ceremony if Pete Crow-Armstrong happens to steal his 40th base of the season in the next two days, while the Atlanta […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: David Peterson is the Superhero vs. the Braves
Sometimes Heroes and Goats doesn’t flow with the narrative of a game. This was a Pete Crow-Armstrong night. He had been in what amounts to a slump for him the last several games. Nothing extravagant, but when you have grown accustomed to him being one of the stars of every game, him being reduced to […]
Cubs 7, Braves 3: Pete Crow-Armstrong joins Billy Williams in Cubs history
Just when you think Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has gone into a slump — and he was 0-for-8 with three strikeouts Saturday and Sunday — he breaks out of it in a big way. PCA was 4-for-5 Monday against the Braves at Wrigley Field, including his 37th stolen base and 42nd home run of […]
Chicago Cubs news — Ramirez, Busch, Amaya
Today’s Reflections The Cubs lost another chance for a sweep this weekend, but emerged with a series win over the Pirates. The two games Saturday and Sunday both had the final scores of 4-3, but with different winners. There wasn’t a lot of opportunity for an offensive display by any Cub hitters, nor were there […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Atlanta Braves preview, Monday 9/14, 6:40 CT
Monday notes… Cubs lineup: Braves lineup: David Peterson, LHP vs. Reynaldo Lopez, RHP David Peterson has had some good games for the Cubs and some not so good. Overall, though, since that stinker against the Cardinals in early July: 11 games (10 starts), 3.17 ERA, 1.444 WHIP, 49 strikeouts in 54 innings. That’ll play. Peterson […]
