• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 104Photo 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...2024See more Quinn Harris news today -

• Diamondbacks 5, Cubs 2: SleepwalkingPhoto by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images This game was about as dull as you can get on a beautiful afternoon. Did someone forget to tell the Cubs that the season resumed on Friday? Because they sure played like they didn’t remember. All the good baseball they’d played for the couple of weeks before the break was out the proverbial window. Strikeouts galore, nothing doing for the first few inni...2024Continue with Nuccio DiNuzzo news -
• Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks preview, Friday 7/19, 1:20 CTPhoto by Joe Puetz/Getty Images The Cubs open the 2024 season’s second “half” at home. Today's roster moves: Here and here. With the late date of this year’s All-Star game, this isn’t really the second “half” of the season, more like the last 40 percent. But the Cubs still have a chance to get back in wild-card contention, and one of the teams they’re chasing is this weekend’s opponent. F...2024See also Chicago Cubs

• My summer baseball reading listJust take a look, it’s in a book. When I was about 10 years old, I got really into baseball. I was a bookish kid already, so anytime I went to the library I checked out two kinds of books - Matt Christopher novels and baseball biographies. Matt Christopher wrote a series of fictional kids books about baseball like Catcher with a Glass Arm and The Kid Who Only Hit Homers, which I loved. I also love...2024Continue with Johnny Bench injury -

• Cubs 6, Brewers 3: In extra innings, finally, the bats come alivePhoto by Stacy Revere/Getty Images And Ben Brown was magnificent. So that’s what it takes — extra innings. The Cubs bats were silent for nine, as they have been way too many times this month. In the 10th inning, after a ninth-inning Brewers run with two out tied the game, those bats exploded for five runs and the Cubs ended their five-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory in Milwaukee.

They were 13-27 on May 16, already 13 games out of first place and their season essentially over. So they sold off again at the deadline, and wound up going 60-62 the rest of the year, and 28-27 after August 1, perhaps presaging their excellent...2024See more articles Billy McKinney stats -
