2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Tyrone Taylor is the Superhero vs. the White Sox
So much feast and so much famine in 2026. 10-game winning streaks, a 10-game losing streak. A few prolonged winning periods. A few prolonged losing periods. On the net, the winning has significantly outweighed the losing, but still frustrating. The Cubs have dropped four of seven. A speed bump not particularly notable. But it is […]
Chicago Cubs news — PCA, Bregman, Assad, Webb
Today’s Reflections “Oh, what a (couple of) night(s)!” as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (almost) sang! A historic lead-off and walk-off home-run Monday night by Pete Crow-Armstrong, followed by another lead-off HR by PCA and a pair of game-tying and game-winning RBI singles by Alex Bregman Tuesday definitely gave the two games a play-off […]

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Matt Shaw rehabs in Iowa
The Cubs have signed shortstop Jackson Cluff to a minor league deal and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. In the eighth inning of the Pelicans game, there was a 32-minute delay as someone in the Pelicans dugout suffered a medical emergency. The person, and I don’t know who it was at the moment, was taken […]
White Sox 3, Cubs 0: The weather was here. Wish the game had been beautiful
The Cubs lost to the White Sox 3-0 on a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon, and the “gorgeous” part is about the only good thing I can say about the afternoon… with the offense disappearing, I am reduced to paraphrasing Jimmy Buffett lyrics for a headline. And come on. José Urquidy? A guy the Sox picked up […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Wednesday 8/19, 1:20 CT
Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Clay Holmes, RHP vs. Sean Newcomb, LHP Clay Holmes was lights-out in his last start, last Friday against the Cardinals: 6.2 innings, one hit, one walk, 11 ground-ball outs. The last time he faced the White Sox was May 26, 2025 at Citi Field and he had a […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Alex Bregman is the Superhero vs. the White Sox
It just keeps on going. The Cubs complete another walk-off win. Consecutive walk-off wins, consecutive PCA lead-off homers. I could get used to this. That’s 13 of them and that ties 1932 and 2015 for the second most in franchise history (14 in 1930). I keep seeing echoes of that 2015 season. That’s a really […]
Cubs 4, White Sox 3: Alex Bregman ties it up, then walks it off
Personally, I would not recommend winning games this way on a regular basis. But the Cubs seem to have found the knack for taking leads, giving them up, coming from behind and winning in a walk-off. They did it again Tuesday night at Wrigley Field — including a long rain delay — defeating the White […]
MLB News Outside The Confines: The Dog Days of summer
Good morning. Here are the two home runs and the stolen HR.
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — August 19
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Rocky Cherry, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1951 – Wearing uniform number 1/8, forty-three-inch-tall Eddie Gaedel walks on four pitches from Bob Cain in his only major league appearance. Bill Veeck‘s idea of playing the midget was legal at the time but is later outlawed, and other […]

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Hartshorn, Snell homer in South Bend win
Lots of movement over the weekend. Iowa left-hander Josh Fleming was released. Iowa right-hander Tyler Santana was activated off the Development List. Left-hander Ethan Flanagan was promoted to Double-A Knoxville from High-A South Bend. Outfielder Ethan Conrad was promoted to South Bend from Low-A Myrtle Beach. Right-hander Luke Alwood was promoted to South Bend from […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Tuesday 8/18, 7:05 CT
Tuesday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Kevin Gausman, RHP vs. Bryan Hudson, LHP Kevin Gausman has made two starts for the Cubs, one good (vs. the Royals), one not so much (vs. the Nationals). The last time he pitched in Wrigley Field he wasn’t good either, but… that was facing Cubs hitters! Gausman has […]

Another look at remaining schedules for the Cubs and Brewers
After Monday’s big Cubs win, which moved them to within 4.5 games of the division lead, I thought it would be a good time to revisit this. The Brewers have 37 games remaining, the Cubs 36. As a reminder, the Brewers lead the season series with the Cubs four games to two, and the teams […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Nico Hoerner is the Superhero vs. the White Sox
It can be thrown around a bit too often, but that game certainly felt like playoff baseball. You can slice it, dice it, stir it, and shake it, but no matter how you spin it, through four games these White Sox have given the Cubs all they can handle. The games have been old fashioned […]
Cubs 7, White Sox 5: Pete Crow-Armstrong walks it off… and simultaneously joins the 30/30 Club!
Just 10 days ago, we had a game at Wrigley Field, the walk-off win against the Blue Jays — that many were calling “the game of the year.” This one, Monday’s walk-off 7-5, 10-inning win over the White Sox, might have topped that. And both were keyed by Pete Crow-Armstrong, who over and over and […]
Chicago Cubs news — Conforto, Amaya, Ramirez, Suzuki, Cabrera, Swanson
Today’s Reflections Well. We received the privilege of witnessing an incredible historic achievement. That took some of the sting out of Saturday’s loss. That also made Sunday’s loss twice as bad, however. Matthew Boyd has been really clicking along in four of his last five starts, so he was due to have a bit of […]

Today’s roster moves: Here Monday notes… The Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup. White Sox lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Luis Castillo, RHP Shōta Imanaga had a rough outing his last time out against the Nationals but still has a 2.49 ERA and 1.125 […]
