     We card bloggers aren't the mushy type. If we're going to blog a Valentine's Day-themed post, it better be about Bobby or Ellis or Fred. Or at least show some red or pink parallels. I've done it all before and don't have anything else clever to write about this fake holiday. So I thought I'd lean in all the way and show most of the cards from Bobby Valentine's career. I collected E...2025

    Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images It’s been quite some time. Derrek Lee hit 46 home runs for the Cubs in 2005. That’s 20 years ago! Since then, no Cub has hit 40 or more home runs. The most by any Cub in the last 20 seasons is 39, by Kris Bryant in his MVP season in 2016. Kyle Schwarber hit 38 in 2019. Nine different Cubs have accounted for 19 different 40-homer season...2025

    Photo by Ron Vesely/MLB Photos via Getty Images This was a year of great change for the Chicago Cubs. This season was, as you know, interrupted by a strike that wiped out about a third of the games. I have no doubt that had the season been played to its completion, the Cubs would have set a franchise record for losses. They lost 98 games in 1980 and did not improve over the winter.

  • • Today in Cubs history: Manny Trillo walks off the Phillies
    Photo by Ron Vesely/Getty Images This was quite unexpected. In 1978, there were at least some expectations for the Cubs to do well. They’d collapsed the last couple of months of 1977 after being in first place for more than two months, but added slugger Dave Kingman to their lineup and hoped a potent offense would help put them in contention. As it turned out, that didn’t happen. Kingman m...2023

I am obviously no medical expert, but it sure seems like the groin injury that made him miss a couple of starts in April is still bothering Taillon. Taillon before the i...2023

  • • On Curtis Granderson batting leadoff for the Mets
    They say home run hitters typically get them in bunches. Those of us who remember Dave Kingman sadly will recall that he blasted five homers in the seven games before he was hurt back in 1976, ending his best chance to make a run at Roger Maris. Well, right now Curtis Granderson has hit five homers in his last seven games – if you’re ready to count Saturday’s suspended game before its complet...2015

    "Since that windy, warm 1974 afternoon (and since I was at the game, I can tell you it was far windier than the 12 miles per hour reported by Dozer), just three Cubs have had eight or more RBI in a game: Dave Kingman, who also smacked three homers and drove in eight runs on May 14, 1978; Barry Foote, who had his eight-RBI day April 22, 1980, and Sammy Sosa, whose three homers drove in nine runs against the Rockies August 10, 2002."

  • 2022
    "Only four other Cubs have ever hit more than 42 (Billy Williams’ mark in 1970, and the team record for a lefthanded hitter, and that one’s probably not going to be broken either): Derrek Lee (46 in 2005), Andre Dawson (49 in 1987), Dave Kingman (48 in 1979), and Ernie Banks, who did it four times: 44 in 1955, 43 in 1957, 47 in 1958 and 45 in 1959."

    "His homer in the third inning made Walker the fourth Mets player to go deep nine times in April, matching Dave Kingman (1976), Carlos Delgado (2006) and John Buck (2013)."

  • 2015
    "Joe Torre, Gary Carter and Dave Kingman are among the 144 players who have manned third base for the Mets."

  • 2014
    "The history of the Met's cleanup spot is rather spotty, though Dave Kingman was the Mets' cleanup man in 410 games and had as much if not more raw power than either of the two players with more cleanup starts (Darryl Strawberry, 599; Mike Piazza, 554)."
