    • White Sox 12, Cubs 5: Shōta Imanaga gets pounded
    Photo by Daniel Bartel/Getty Images Yikes. The Cubs knew they could pick up a game on the Brewers in the NL Central standings before this one even started, because the Marlins rallied late in an afternoon contest Friday and defeated Milwaukee 5-1. Welp. The Cubs offense came out flat against Adrian Houser — who, I hope, might be in the Cubs rotation next week — and Shōta Imanaga got hit ea...2025

    • The 10 best Cubs vs. White Sox games
    Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports The teams have been playing regular-season games for 29 seasons. Interleague play has been with us for 28 years (29 seasons), since 1997. It’s not new, nor is it going away. The Cubs and White Sox have played at least one series against each other in all 29 of those seasons, now at 149 total games. The series has been competitive, no matter how good or ba...2025

    • Cardinals 8, Cubs 6: Well, that was ugly, despite another great game from Michael Busch
    Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images A stirring comeback went for naught when the Cubs bullpen blew up in the eighth. The Cubs bullpen has been so good this year that having an inning like the one Brad Keller had in the eighth inning of the Cubs’ 8-6 loss to the Cardinals is, frankly, shocking. It turned on one play in that inning, and I’ll get to that, but first things first. The Drew Pom...2025

    • Phillies 4, Cubs 3: Just not quite enough
    Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images The Cubs just couldn’t quite get over the hump. This was just a frustrating game in every way. The Cubs got good defense and held the Phillies down pretty well, but in the end, the Phillies outlasted the Cubs 4-3 in 11 innings. The win ended Philly’s five-game losing streak. Let’s begin at the beginning. After Ian Happ struck out to start the game, Kyle ...2025

    • Cubs 2, Reds 0: A good old-fashioned pitchers’ duel
    Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images And Ben Brown was magnificent. So maybe this idea of having an opener for Ben Brown’s turn in the rotation is... pretty good? Drew Pomeranz threw a 1-2-3 first inning on only nine pitches and then Brown shut the door on the Reds. He threw six one-hit innings, striking out nine and issuing only one walk, by far his best outing of 2025. The Cubs then got ...2025
