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 […]

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 […]

On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Braves series preview
The Cubs lost two of three to the Braves in Atlanta back in May, scoring only five runs in the series. That was so long ago that Pete Crow-Armstrong batted ninth, eighth and ninth in the three games and Moisés Ballesteros was the starting catcher in the series opener. Since that series ended the Cubs […]
Chicago Cubs update: Alex Bregman, Michael Busch, Pedro Ramirez
The Cubs took two of three from the Pirates after getting swept in Milwaukee and entering Monday’s action hold the top wild card spot by virtue of their tiebreaker over the Phillies. The Cubs’ magic number to clinch any postseason spot is now 8. Here’s who was hot and not for the Cubs over the […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Miguel Amaya is the Superhero vs. the Pirates
Hopefully, you are a Bears fan and had a lot of fun Sunday watching the team run up and down the field. As a Bears fan in Tampa, I wasn’t able to watch, but did enjoy some highlights and watching the score light up. As someone who feels like it wouldn’t be hyperbole to say […]
MLB News: Willson Contreras, Mike Shirley resigns, Byron Buxton, Rafael Devers, Justin Verlander
Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. Some players might not be feeling so good this week, as they are seeing their seasons end early as the need for rest or surgery has forced them into an early offseason. As we’ll read below, both Byron Buxton and Rafael Devers are out for the […]
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — September 14
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Dave Hillman, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 2003 – Homering in his final at-bat, Vladimir Guerrero hits for ‘Le Carrousel’ at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium. Facing Mets’ southpaw Tom Glavine, the Expos right fielder doubles (second), singles (third) and hits a triple (fifth) and completes the sixth cycle in team […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Iowa closes out home schedule with 2-1 win
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs grilled the Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers), 2-1. Starter Kohl Franklin gave up a double to the first batter of the game and a single to the second one, putting runners on first and third. After that, he was nearly perfect. Franklin allowed a one-out sac fly in the first, but […]
Pirates 4, Cubs 3: Matthew Boyd deserved better
Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd has to be the MLB King of Having His Inherited Runners Scoring. (For lack of a better term.) This has been happening frequently to Boyd — in fact, that makes three starts in a row where he left with the lead and runners on base and a Cubs reliever let those […]
