Cubs Stuff

Alex Bregman’s arrival seemed to signal a more balanced lineup, but Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong have fueled a very different transformation. [...]

Where to begin after that game yesterday? Thursday night it looked like the Cubs may have gotten the kind of win that would push them back in the right direction. Then, by the afternoon on Friday, Carson Kelly was on the mound serving up home runs after a disastrous start from [...]

Edward Cabrera and the Chicago Cubs were embarrassed in an 18-3 loss Friday at Wrigley Field and President Trump weighed in on the MLB CBA discussions. [...]

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” — Ferris Buelllerezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(146); }); On June 5, 1985, the Cubs lost to the Braves 4-2 in 11 innings to drop their record to 77-84-1. Pretty dismal considering they probably [...]

Welcome to the club. [...]

The Cubs got blasted by the Giants in the first game of their series at Wrigley Field Friday afternoon. Edward Cabrera returned from injury and got lit up for eight runs before finally being yanked in the 3rd inning. The road team kept going from there and had 18 on [...]

Nick Castellanos was recently cut loose by the San Diego Padres, but that doesn't mean that Chicago Cubs fans should look for a reunion any time soon. [...]

“Momentum” is only as real as the next day’s starting pitcher. So much for whatever last night was worth beyond a win in the Cubs’ record. Because absolutely none of it carried over to today. The Cubs got absolutely pantsed by a quite bad Giants team today at Wrigley Field, and it [...]

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner recently spoke about the looming CBA discussions, an MLB salary cap and more as labor talks heat up in baseball. [...]

A blister on his middle finger sidelined the right-hander for the last two weeks. Right-hander Tyler Ferguson sent back to Triple-A. [...]

Although the Cubs have been and will be prominently connected to a huge trade candidate like Tarik Skubal, it’s important to remember that the team’s play and projection has to justify such a huge move come the Trade Deadline. Right now, for example, you just could not justify the Cubs [...]

UPDATE: This game will start in a delay becauase of rain. CUBS LINEUP — Anthony Rizzo lost his shirt. The Cubs walked it off. Edward Cabrera is back (and starting this game). And PCA is hot. Let’s see if the Cubs can take last night’s comeback win and turn it [...]

A few weeks ago, when I wrote about a couple of mock drafts pointing the Cubs toward a college arm at pick 23 in this year’s MLB Draft, I laid out some broad thinking. In short, the Cubs aren’t going to take a guy in the first round just because [...]

Pete Crow-Armstrong has become an enigma for the 2026 Chicago Cubs and his journey is the tale of their season. [...]

“You say, ‘yes.’ I say, ‘no.’ You say, ‘stop’ and I say, ‘go, go, go.’ — Hello, Goodbye by The Beatlesezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(146); }); All three games in the Cubs-A’s series came down to the last at-bat, and finally, Chicago emerged victorious by showing some seemingly absent fire in a fast-paced [...]

Cubs vs Giants — Sorry for the late series preview. The morning got away from me and then the lineup came out, which I got out first! Anyway, here it is. It’s hilarious how much better ONE SINGLE comeback victory can change my mood. But I woke up feeling [...]

The Cubs haven’t played a day game in a week and a half, so this Friday afternoon affair is like an oasis, just like their improbable walk-off win last night. At the risk of ascribing more value to it than it’s due, a comeback like that can really jump-start things, [...]

You’re often writing the script of a game in your head as you watch it play out, but baseball rarely delivers the story in a neat and tidy package the way you might be hoping or imagining. Last night, though? It really did. I don’t know where the season goes from [...]

Today the Chicago Cubs activated righty Edward Cabrera off the Injured List, where he’d been resting up a blister on his right middle finger, and – I’m guessing – also trying to shore up his mechanics. Cabrera hasn’t been bad this year (4.00 ERA, 4.40 FIP, 54.0 IP), but it [...]
