Chicago Cubs vs. Cleveland Guardians doubleheader preview, Sunday 4/5, 12:10 CT
Today’s roster moves: Here I had not remembered a traditional, non-split doubleheader on the road for the Cubs in recent years. The last such doubleheader at Wrigley Field was Thursday, Aug. 3, 2006 vs. the Diamondbacks. So, naturally, I asked BCB’s JohnW53 if he knew. Of course he did! Here’s the answer. The Cubs have […]

Cubs roster moves: Cade Horton to IL, Riley Martin called up, Ethan Roberts 27th man for doubleheader
Yes, I know that for any Cubs fan, the words “Cade Horton to injured list” in a headline gives feelings of dread. But here we are. Horton was placed on the injured list today, the move retroactive to Saturday. For pitchers, the IL is 15 days. The “fortunate” thing, if there is one regarding this […]

Maybe he’ll be good enough to see some volleyball. Game Results: Cubs […]

Cubs, Guardians postponed; makeup as part of a doubleheader Sunday
If you were hoping to see a Cubs game tonight… you won’t: This is the same storm front that stopped the Cardinals/Tigers game in Detroit this afternoon after eight innings.

Cade Horton is heading to the IL. Who should replace him?
As you know, Cubs right-hander Cade Horton left Friday’s game in the second inning with what was termed “right forearm discomfort.” Per this article in the Tribune, Horton and manager Craig Counsell are hopeful this is not a big deal: Horton will return to Chicago for imaging and to be examined, likely undergoing evaluation Monday. […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 7
Breathe. It’s a rough day to be a Cub fan. Don’t borrow trouble. You don’t know. First and foremost, you don’t know the extent of Cade Horton’s situation. Yes, they said elbow and forearm. Those are dirty words when a pitcher leaves abruptly. Cade has had Tommy John surgery once before. So we all can […]

The Nico Hoerner extension by the numbers
It was a banner week for extensions at the corner of Clark and Addison last week, with news that Nico Hoerner was extended through the 2032 season breaking just days after news of the Pete Crow Armstrong extension. Both of these deals extended two Cubs icons for six more years, but that’s really where the […]
Hey, MLB! Stop scheduling games in northern cities in March
Before I begin, I should let you know that this article is mostly just venting. Major League Baseball hasn’t listened to me when I’ve written on this topic before and I’m pretty sure they’re not going to listen now. Nevertheless, I persist. March 26 is too early to play baseball in northern cities. Period, full […]
