Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images The Cubs stumble early again and come up short on a comeback in a 6-4 loss. It’s been years since I was anywhere close to a “watch 162 games closely” person. There definitely was a point in life where if at all possible I was either watching or listening. A combination of parenting and adulting along with a dose of really bad Cubs baseball pushed me to so...2025

• Reds 6, Cubs 4: A late-inning rally comes up short

Katie Stratman-Imagn Images The Cubs fell too far behind early and couldn’t come back despite Justin Turner’s first Cubs homer. And Miguel Amaya might have an injured list stint in his future. The Cubs trailed 6-2 in the seventh inning Saturday and, well... you had to have the fleeting thought, at least, that they’d pull another miracle late-inning comeback, as they did from the same score...2025
