• Mets 7, Cubs 6: Just not quite enough

Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images The Cubs kept getting leads, then blowing them. And then they ran out of innings. Sigh. This was such a winnable game, but the Cubs just couldn’t close the deal, instead losing to the Mets 7-6 in 11 innings. That made the series a 2-2 split, and the Cubs come home with a losing road trip, three wins and four losses, and the feeling that things could easily ha...2024

• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 31

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images A crazy finish in the Cubs’ 1-0 victory. It isn’t often that you can describe a 1-0 game as a wild one. I was out while most of this game was going on, but I did catch the final three innings and it was a crazy ride. As usual, head over to Al’s game recap to discuss the blow by blow. There is so much to dissect in this one. I’ll offer two quick thoughts o...2024

• Cubs 1, Mets 0: What an ending!

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images The Cubs needed a replay review to finish off their 1-0 win. The Cubs have had some defensive issues this season, but Wednesday evening in New York they showed off some outstanding defense to end their 1-0 win over the Mets. Let’s begin at the end, because that’s what everyone’s going to want to talk about. The Cubs entered the bottom of the ninth with tha...2024

• Mets 4, Cubs 2: Adbert Alzolay gives up yet another home run

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images And a couple of sketchy defensive plays helped lead to this Cubs loss. Unfortunately, Adbert Alzolay is out of options. I say that because today’s hot take is that Alzolay might benefit by having some time at Triple-A Iowa to figure out why he’s serving up home runs at an alarming rate. Tuesday, it was a three-run jack by DJ Stewart that was the difference...2024

• Red Sox 5, Cubs 4: So close

Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs tied the game late, but could not convert it into victory. If Dansby Swanson can hold on to that little floater into left field, the Cubs probably turn a double play in the bottom of the ninth, because Jarren Duran had strayed from third base. In that case the game probably goes to extra innings. But he didn’t. Don’t blame Dansby, that would have be...2024
