• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 104

Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images The Cubs continue to pile up one-run losses. This has been one of the more frustrating Cubs seasons in memory. It is often pointed out that the difference between bad teams and good ones isn’t massive. Each year, if you lop off the most dominant and most inept teams, the remainder is pretty homogenous. This is at least part of why most of the teams finish...2024

• Brewers 3, Cubs 2: The underachievers of the year

Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images This team should be better. But it hasn’t played that way. When the story of the 2024 Cubs season is written, “underachieving’ should be a main part of the headline. Because I still believe this team is better than its record. Obviously, the record is what it is. Part of it is this, from BCB’s JohnW53: The blown lead today was the Cubs’ 49th of the season...2024

Photo by Griffin Quinn/Getty Images It’s the same, sad old song. The Cubs got a magnificent start from Jameson Taillon. The Cubs got good bullpen work, yet again. And it all meant nothing, literally, because the Cubs could not score a run and lost 1-0 to the Brewers on a rainy Tuesday at Wrigley Field. It rained, hard, for a while and held up the start of the game for an hour and 24 minut...2024
