• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 18

Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images The Cubs win 4-2 and take the series from the Dodgers in LA. When does being on the Sunday night national broadcast suck less? When you are in California. I mean, it is certainly possible the game would have been a Sunday “afternoon” game in Los Angeles. But for me over here in Florida, them playing a game that only ended around 10 p.m. local time wa...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 17

Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images The Cubs bounce back with an offensive explosion and win 16-0. This game almost became as silly to write about in the good direction as the previous two games did in the wrong direction. The subtle difference here is that this one was a 2-0 game through six innings. The final score is not indicative of how much of a nail-biter as this one was for tho...2025

• The Cubs need a bullpen fix — and fast

Photo by Masterpress/Getty Images Sunday’s meltdown was one of the worst in recent memory. As a refresher, one of the things that torpedoed — to use a current baseball-related word — the Cubs’ 2024 season was some awful bullpen work over the first couple of months. These are the pitchers who were in the Cubs’ Opening Day bullpen in 2024: Yency Almonte, Adbert Alzolay, Jose Cuas, Mark Leite...2025
