• 2025 Cubs: Know your enemy, AL Central

Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images This is a division of haves and have-nots. Last year, three AL Central teams made the postseason and four finished over .500. This was largely because they all fattened up against the awful White Sox. The Twins, Tigers, Guardians and Royals went 42-10 against the White Sox. Wow. The Cubs, meanwhile, were 10-6 against the AL Central last year. So that...2025

• Royals 9, Cubs 3: Pete Crow-Armstrong continues his basepath chaos

Marquee Sports Network The Cubs center fielder has great baseball instincts. This game was weird for me, since I’ve attended almost every game at Sloan Park since it opened in 2014. Missing multiple games this spring, though, is for a good reason — my upcoming trip to Japan. Thus I watched Thursday’s 9-3 Cubs loss to the Royals from a hotel room in Joplin, Missouri, on my way driving back ...2025
