• Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, May 27 edition

Katie Stratman-Imagn Images The Cubs had a very good road trip, though it took some crazy rallies to do it. This edition of “Three up, three down” is running on Tuesday rather than its usual Monday slot due to Monday’s Memorial Day holiday. The games included here are last week’s six-game road trip. Monday’s game against the Rockies will be included in next week’s edition. The Cubs’ 4-2 ro...2025

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

For a minute there, you thought the stories would be the bad first inning for Matthew Boyd and the continuing implosion of Julian Merryweather. These aren’t those Cubs. This team has so much fight in it and so a 6-2 early deficit became a 13-6 win. Eleven unanswered runs over the game’s final three innings. I’ll mention...2025

The Cubs have excelled in series openers this year. They lost in large part because early, middle and late game, the pitching staff failed. The offense had a good night, scoring seven, but lost.

• On The Horizon: Cubs vs. White Sox series preview

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images The first series of this year’s Crosstown Classic is this weekend. In its infinite wisdom, Major League Baseball has decreed that beginning this year, the “rivalry” series between in-city or in-state (or manufactured) rivals shall be six games, two three-game series, instead of the previous pair of two-game series. Even four is too many for me; I’d be fin...2025

The Cubs have scored 27 runs over their last eight games. I don’t think there is any question that the injury to Ian Happ is part of the equation. The tailing off of Kyle Tucker is a piece of it.
