      Greetings in the last few hours of what I think was the very real year of 2024.It's difficult to tell what's real and what's not these days. Just yesterday I saw a report that said the brilliant minds that run Facebook and Instagram plan to infiltrate both social media sites with AI-generated users. This kind of stuff freaks me out.

    Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images You probably don’t want to remember these, but here we are. There have been other years when I’ve posted a number of blowout losses in this annual recap. In some ways, those are easier to take, a team runs up a huge score against the Cubs but it still counts for only one loss. Other times I’ve filled these with soul-crushing defeats. This time, I’m going...2024
  • • Cubs Decline Option On Drew Smyly
    The Cubs have declined their end of a $10MM mutual option on left-hander Drew Smyly, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post. He’ll be paid a $2.5MM buyout and return to the free agent market. Smyly, 35, pitched to a 3.84 ERA in 58 2/3 innings over 50 relief appearances with the Cubs this…...2024

    Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images Lots of runs and lead changes, and finally the Cubs ended up on top. The Cubs didn’t much seem to want to win this game, having to come back from multiple deficits and getting some more poor relief work. Nevertheless, a seventh-inning rally erased the last of those deficits and the Cubs hung on for a 7-6 win over the Nationals in the final night game of t...2024

    Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports The offense finally had a big game. Last week, while the Braves did go 5-2, their offense also struggled. It was great to see Atlanta’s pitching perform at the level that it did, but winning consistently while only scoring around three runs a game is a hard trend to sustain. Fortunately, the Braves decided the start of this week would be different. Atlanta ...2024

You can be forgiven for thinking this, because I sure was: When Jorge López was greeted, in his first save opportunity as a Cub, with a home run by Addison Barger, I immediately thought: “Hey, Hector Neris could have done THAT!” But unlike Neris in too many save oppor...2024

Next time the Cubs open a season — a year or so from now — could we have a little less controversy and injury?

    "Drew Smyly entered and ended the inning with a strikeout of Blackmon, but not before wild-pitching the runner to second."

  • 2022
    "Drew Smyly will start for the Cubs and Brandon Woodruff will get the call for the Brewers."

  • 2021
    "Jose Altuve's seventh-inning homer off Drew Smyly in the Astros’ 7-2 victory over Atlanta in World Series Game 2 on Wednesday night was the 22nd postseason home run of his career, tying him with Bernie Williams for second on the all-time list."

  • 2020
    "The Giants have signed left-hander Drew Smyly, as per an announcement on the team’s Twitter feed."

  • 2019
    "Texas added left-hander Drew Smyly in a trade at the outset of the offseason and has since signed Lance Lynn on a three-year contract and selected the contract of veteran righty Edinson Volquez, who was signed last offseason to a two-year minor league contract in the wake of August 2017 Tommy John surgery."

  • 2018
    "Drew Smyly wouldn't mind being reunited with Alex Cobb on the Cubs, and the rehabbing left-hander did a little recruiting on Friday."

    "Finding hidden gems in trades of big-name players, such as Ben Zobrist in the 2006 Aubrey Huff trade, Matt Joyce in the 2008 Edwin Jackson trade or, more recently, Drew Smyly in this summer's David Price blockbuster."
