• NL Central Notes: Wicks, Junis, Carlson
The Cubs are in for their second bullpen game in as many days tomorrow, as Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune was among those to relay that left-hander Jordan Wicks has been scratched from his scheduled start tomorrow due to forearm tightness. Right-hander Hayden Wesneski will start the game in Wicks’s place just three days…...2024

• Red Sox 17, Cubs 0: Flush this one and move on

Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports I watched this game so you didn’t have to. Remember when I wrote these words in the recap to Friday’s game? Friends, the Chicago Cubs are a very good baseball team I’m not going back on those words but oh my goodness, the Cubs did not look like a very good baseball team in a blowout 17-0 loss to the Red Sox Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park. The Red Sox scored...2024

The last time the Cubs played in Fenway Park, 2013 Red Sox World Series hero Koji Uehara was on the Cubs, and former Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel was a member of the Red Sox. The Cubs lost that game 6-2, and there isn’t a single player who played that evening who’s still on the team he played for...2024

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Cubs sweep the Astros to close a successful homestand. Every season is an entity onto its own. You watch enough seasons and they start to feel like one long homogenous mass. But when you sort them out, or more specifically when one is going on, you can really feel that individuality. And so, as we sit in front of this currently unfolding season, th...2024

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Deja Vu! The Cubs ride early offense to another win over the Astros. For the second straight game, the Cubs rode the same strategy to victory over the visiting Astros. That formula was, ambush them with a big inning in the bottom of the first, ride a strong pitching performance and cruise to victory. Well, actually, like any good sequel, the second one w...2024
