A Chicago Cubs Fan Community Since February 9, 2005
I told you this team could still hit. I told you this team still had good hitters. And I’m telling you right now — and you can come back to this recap if I’m right, or if I’m wrong — that the 2026 Cubs are going to start winning again and still make a run […]
Go get ‘em, Edward.
Thursday notes… For the third day in a row, the Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Honestly I have no idea why it takes this long, why they can’t do this by two hours to game time. Anyway, please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup. Rockies lineup: Edward Cabrera, RHP vs. […]

The Cubs sit at 34-34 so far in 2026, but the way they’ve gotten to that .500 record is anything but average. While it seems hard to believe here in June, yes, it was 2026 when the Cubs were putting together multiple 10 game winning streaks, not to mention a 15-game home winning streak that […]
Just as a MLB team might have an emergency fill-in, I am filling in for Thomas Smith on Heroes and Goats today. That’s because Thomas got stuck in Charlotte on a work trip and hasn’t had much sleep in a couple of days. So I agreed to post this in Thomas’ place, to give you […]
I’m running out of recap ideas here, folks, help me out? Every day, the Cubs find a new way to lose. Wednesday, it was a 3-2 loss to the Rockies in walk-off fashion at Coors Field. The Cubs have eight walk-off wins this year, but this was just their second walk-off loss (the other was […]
Today’s Reflections Today’s Reflections have no one to reflect positively on. I mean, PCA won NLPlayer Of The Week, but even he doesn’t want to talk about it (below). So the players listed in the title are SOME of the problem guys mentioned in the articles below. The story below about Nico Hoerner’s problems is […]
The Cubs released right-hander Jeff Brigham. Brigham was signed to a minor league deal in the offseason but was injured in Spring Training and never actually pitched for Iowa or any other minor league team. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were locked in a cave by the Louisville Bats (Reds), 20-5. Yikes. Jordan Wicks started […]

Go get ‘em, Shōta.
Wednesday notes… As was the case yesterday, the Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Not sure what’s going on with this, but please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup. Rockies lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Michael Lorenzen, RHP A tale of two Imanagas. First seven starts: 2.40 ERA, 0.852 WHIP, three […]

I don’t have to tell you that the Cubs have been just awful over their last 28 games, going 7-21 after a 27-12 start. That leaves them just one game over .500 entering tonight’s contest against the Rockies at Coors Field. Let’s look at some of the numbers from that great 39-game start, and then […]
On this night, I have a silver lining. Now your mileage may vary, but for me? I’m not even frustrated anymore. I’ve moved on to apathy. These losses are no longer catching me off guard. It’s been a long day, travelling from Tampa to Jackson, MS by way of a stop in Atlanta. So forgive […]
The Cubs went into Coors Field, always a good ballpark for hitting, hoping to awaken their bats. All it did was awaken Rockies bats against Colin Rea. They scored seven runs off Rea in the first three innings and the Cubs lost to the Rockies 7-3. Sorry if this recap reads pretty bland, but that’s […]
Good morning.
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Frank Demaree, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1972 – Hank Aaron‘s grand slam helps the Atlanta Braves to a 15-3 rout of the Phillies. It is Aaron’s 649th home run, moving him ahead of Willie Mays into second place on the career list. It is also his 14th grand […]
The Cubs acquired left-hander Antoine Kelly in a trade with the Dodgers for cash. Kelly was assigned to Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs claimed right-hander Eduarniel Núñez off waivers from the Orioles. They assigned him to rookie ball Mesa, where I presume he’ll work in the pitch lab and not pitch. Núñez was in the Cubs […]

Go get ‘em, Colin.
Today’s roster moves: Here Tuesday notes… The Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup. Rockies lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Tomoyuki Sugano, RHP After a couple of rough outings, Colin Rea has posted a 3.57 ERA over his last three starts. He has not faced […]
Alex Bregman had some hits, but the rest of the offense was moribund in a 7-3 loss 2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Alex Bregman is the Superhero vs. the Rockies Cubs vs. Rockies, Tuesday 6/9, 7:40 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Colorado Rockies preview, Tuesday 6/9, 7:40 CT
The Cubs made multiple roster moves before Tuesday’s game against the Rockies. Jameson Taillon left Sunday’s game in the second inning with a hamstring strain. Here’s how that happened [VIDEO]. Your browser does not support the video tag. To replace Taillon on the Cubs pitching staff, right-hander Ethan Roberts was recalled from Triple-A Iowa. Roberts […]
