• Cubs 1, Mets 0: What an ending!

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images The Cubs needed a replay review to finish off their 1-0 win. The Cubs have had some defensive issues this season, but Wednesday evening in New York they showed off some outstanding defense to end their 1-0 win over the Mets. Let’s begin at the end, because that’s what everyone’s going to want to talk about. The Cubs entered the bottom of the ninth with tha...2024

• Cubs 3, Mets 1: Christopher Morel breaks up a classic pitcher’s duel

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports And the Cubs moved into first place in the NL Central. Christopher Morel hadn’t homered in almost three weeks, and overall his hitting hadn’t been as good as it was in 2023. Morel picked an excellent time to break that home-run drought. His no-doubter two-run blast into the left-field seats at Citi Field broke a 1-1 tie and led the Cubs to a 3-1 win over...2024

• Cubs 3, Astros 1: PCA saves the day

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images Pete Crow-Armstrong won the game with his first MLB hit. The first thing I thought when I saw Pete Crow-Armstrong’s sixth-inning blast head toward the right-field bleachers was, “You have got to be kidding me!” PCA had struggled so mightily in his first exposure to MLB pitching last September, and Justin Verlander had just made him look silly in his fir...2024

• Cubs 4, Astros 3: Getting the job done

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Dansby Swanson’s three-run homer highlighted a four-run first inning that the Cubs made hold up for another win. It wasn’t the best of games. Cubs hitters struck out 12 times. Some sketchy defense helped lead to a Houston run. The Cubs had only one hit after the fourth inning. And yet, the Cubs put a large crooked number on the board in the first inning f...2024

• Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, April 22 edition

David Banks-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs had a rough week, though there were still some highlights. Since we last met in the “Three up, three down” space here a week ago, the Cubs are 4-3. That’s ... not awful. But it seems a lot worse, doesn’t it? It’s clear that the team misses the offense provided by Seiya Suzuki, who is likely out at least three more weeks. Guys are just going to have to ...2024

The storyline is obvious on this day. The Cubs earned a disappointing split with the Marlins. On the one hand, a split in a doubleheader is pretty much expected.

Photo by Alika Jenner/Getty Images The Cubs split six games this week... and probably should have won four of six. The Cubs, as you know, had their biggest blown lead in more than 20 years last Monday in San Diego, otherwise they’d have won two of three in both West Coast series so far. Still, a 3-3 mark isn’t bad. Here’s some of the good and the bad for the North Siders over the last week...2024

Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports Too many walks allowed, too few hits doom Cubs in Seattle. Two weeks do not make a baseball season by any means. However, I chuckle every time I hear someone say that the Cubs didn’t really do anything in the offseason. Certainly, running it back with a team that didn’t reach the playoffs and hoping that internal growth seems like a silly plan. That said, ...2024
