Are Cubs Floating on Helium or Are They Another Hindenburg
It’s impossible to tell at this juncture whether these Cubs will realize their playoff aspirations or crash to the ground like a lead zeppelin.

Chicago Cubs Lineup (7/22/26): Rea Day for Rubber Game
After dropping the series opener in extras, the Cubs forced the Tigers to cover two innings with position players.

Cubs Activate Taillon, Add Civale, DFA Pomeranz, Place Maton on IL
The Cubs’ revolving door of a pitching staff is turning fast enough to register as a low-grade tornado, with several more moves announced on Monday.
