Matt Marton-Imagn Images The Cubs crush the Cardinals in the series finale. We begin where I ended yesterday. Let’s take the momentum back, win the series and leave the Cardinals battered on their way out. Mission accomplished. With all due respect, the Cubs left no question who the better team was this week. Baseball being baseball, that doesn’t mean it will be that way for the entire r...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 89

David Banks-Imagn Images The Cubs bullpen has a rare bad game, resulting in an 8-6 loss. Every time your bullpen falters late and costs you a game, it is unfortunate. This one feels a little more unfortunate. Obviously, you hate to ever yield the Cardinals even an inch. But more so, this weekend has been Michael Busch’s explosion weekend. Four homers in two days. Seven hits. Six runs driv...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
