• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 72

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images It was not pretty, but the Cubs took care of business with a 3-2 win. Had these last 13 games occurred in a different order, say reversed, I’m not sure that the Cubs wouldn’t have lost seven or even more. The Cubs didn’t play great during this stretch. To be clear, they didn’t play badly either. I’ve got the score over 13 games at 47-36 combined. Using...2025

• Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers @ Chicago Cubs

Michael McLoone-Imagn Images Brewers head to Wrigley for first time in 2025 The Milwaukee Brewers are set for a three-game series with their rivals to the south, as they’ll head to Wrigley Field to take on the Chicago Cubs beginning Tuesday evening. Chicago, at 44-28, sits in first in the NL Central, 5.5 games ahead of the 39-34 Brewers in second. While the Brewers wrapped up their homesta...2025

• Cubs 3, Pirates 2: Ian Happ walks it off

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs once again didn’t get much offense... but just enough to win. One day, Cubs hits will ring out all over Wrigley Field. One day, Cubs home runs will fly one after one into the iconic Wrigley bleachers. One day, the Cubs will win a home game by seven or eight or nine runs. Today was not that day. It was, though, a good day in the end, as Ian Happ’s wal...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 67

Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images The Cubs slug their way to an 8-4 win in Philadelphia. Facing another pitcher who was a first -ound pick, this could have been another tough night. I’m going to be honest, half way through the game, I was still worried a little. I believe in this team, but this trip has been a bit odd. The Cubs have become a little homer dependent on this trip. I don’t be...2025

• Cubs 8, Phillies 4: Ian Happ’s two homers lead a long-ball barrage

Photo by Gregory Fisher/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Cubs homered four times and evened up the series. Ian Happ appears to be starting one of his patented hot streaks. After a home run in Monday’s loss, Happ went deep twice Tuesday in Philadelphia. That, along with long balls from Dansby Swanson and Michael Busch, helped the Cubs to an 8-4 win over the Phillies Tuesday evening. The...2025

Always hear me clearly, I’m not throwing it back just because it may not have been a fully satisfying victory. There was a lot of good. No one gifted the Cubs a win. Certainly, over 162 games, there will be games w...2025

When the game ended in extras, the Cubs had walked off the Rockies in extras, 4-3 The offense was better but not ...2025
