All of the Stuff

All signs point to Edward Cabrera getting the ball on Friday at Wrigley Field, when the Chicago Cubs open a series against the San Francisco Giants. [...]

It’s been four full weeks since the Cubs last won at Wrigley, which coincides exactly with their last series win. There was a time when today’s starter would be a top choice to play the role of stopper, but Shota Imanaga has been very, very bad over his last three [...]

Who is the most important player for the New Orleans Saints’ defense? While many assume a veteran player, it's actually Jonas Sanker. [...]

Gilbert Arenas questionable comments to AJ Dybantsa feel like a spit in the face to the Wizards. [...]

Episode 65 of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast is officially live! This week, we talk about the Cubs renewing their descent, what you even focus on at a time like this, and all manner of recent failings. You can listen to episode 65 anywhere you get your podcasts, including Apple and Spotify, but I’ve [...]

The Chicago Cubs’ listed starters for this weekend, officially, are all “TBD.” But we know that Edward Cabrera should be activated from the Injured List to take a start, and we also know that there’s a chance, per Carter Hawkins, that Matthew Boyd might return this weekend, too. A second [...]

“It’s an allemande left and an allemande right, c’mon you f**kin’ dummy get your right step right. Get off the stage you goddamn goof get off.” — The Rodeo Song by Garry Lee & the Showdownezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(146); }); At some point I knew I had to wake up, start [...]

What a ridiculous thing to discuss given the state of this team, but this is also like the fourth time the Chicago Cubs have been *speculatively* connected to a trade for Tigers Ace Tarik Skubal (a.k.a. the best starting pitcher on the planet). And this one comes from Jeff Passan, [...]

The Chicago Cubs have been scuffling badly recently, and a lack of power in the lineup is a hidden culprit [...]

The Wizards have to at least flirt with the idea of pairing Tre Johnson alongside Darryn Peterson in the backcourt. [...]

His team got hot while he was hurt. Now he's healthy, and they're getting beaten every night. It's been a weird year for Cubs closer Daniel Palencia, but he's making the most of it. [...]

The Smokies scored all their runs in the first inning on their way to the only win in the Cubs system. [...]

The Wizards are doing everything they can to make the right decision this offseason, and they can't be blamed for taking the patient approach. [...]

We are allies here at Cubs Insider, and we hope you are as well. The Cubs just announced plans for their annual Pride celebration, which will feature special performances and local LBGTQ+ businesses. Details are available in the press release below.ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(146); }); This should go without saying, but [...]

Chicago Cubs closer Daniel Palencia has three saves. It is June 4. Now, if you saw those things back in March, you would assume that he got hurt for most of the season. You’d be wrong, of course, as Palencia has missed only about three weeks of the season with [...]

Matt Shaw was back in the lineup in Iowa at DH, and bounced back with a two-hit performance, albeit in another Iowa blowout loss. Knoxville really struggled at the plate as they suffered a tight defeat. The South Bend Cubs kept on rolling with another win, and Myrtle Beach fell [...]

Craig Counsell rarely gets visibly mad – and I don’t know what good it actually does anyway, even if the fan in me wants to see him blow up every once in a while. But after what we’ve seen lately from the Cubs, how could the manager not be perturbed? It’s [...]

The Chicago Cubs continue to struggle as the calendar has turned to June. What should the next move be? [...]

I went to see an early screening of Masters of the Universe last night, and I really wish it had been a late showtime. The Cubs were up 4-2 when I walked out of the theater, so all I got to see was them pissing down their legs for the [...]
