    • Today in 1984 Cubs history: Jody Davis slams the Mets
    Photo by Ron Vesely/MLB Photos via Getty Images The Cubs catcher put the exclamation point on a key win. The Cubs’ 20-10 August had given them a 5½-game lead in the NL East, and they had extended that lead by two games with an 8-4 start to September. Still, the pesky Mets nagged at the Cubs’ heels, and as they came to town for a three-game series September 14, the Mets trailed by 7½ games ...2024

    • Cubs 14, Marlins 2: Seiya Suzuki’s big day helps the Cubs back to .500
    Photo by Rich Storry/Getty Images It’s been a long time since the Cubs were at break-even. Before Saturday, the Cubs were last at the .500 mark at 31-31, following a two-game sweep of the White Sox at Wrigley Field June 5. It took nearly three months, but their 14-2 win over the Marlins Saturday finally put them back at the break-even mark at 65-65, and they have a pair of homers and a tri...2024

    • Guardians 6, Cubs 1: Swept outta Cleveland
    Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images This was not the result the Cubs wanted at Progressive Field. In a week where the Cubs had hoped to show they belonged in the NL wild card race, instead they blew a lead and tried to come back in one game, and then the offense disappeared for the rest of the series. The 6-1 loss Wednesday, resulting in a sweep by the Guardians, was thus a microcosm of the...2024

    • Cubs 10, Phillies 2: The Ian Happ game
    Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images At last, a blowout win. This game, of course, does not erase the numerous problems the 2024 Chicago Cubs still have. It was, though, a reminder of what these players are capable of doing — and who knows, maybe they’ll continue doing it. The Cubs exploded for double figures in runs for the first time since April 16 in Arizona — and they lost that game, 12-1...2024

    WGN-TV This was one of the weirdest and longest non-rain delays I can remember at Wrigley Field. For this one, I’m first going to set the scene and then you can watch video of the 30-minute chaos that followed at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are hosting the Cincinnati Reds in the last of a three-game series. They’d lost the first two, but entered the day in first place in the NL East with a 26-...2024

    • Today in 1984 Cubs history: Dennis Eckersley acquired in trade for Bill Buckner
    Photo by Ron Vesely/Getty Images The Cubs needed pitching, and they got some. But it was an emotional moment in team history, too. When the Cubs acquired Bill Buckner from the Dodgers in January 1977, he wasn’t happy with the deal. He’d come through the Dodger system with Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Steve Garvey and others. They’d won the 1974 NL pennant together and he strongly felt part of th...2024

    A sign at Three Rivers Stadium on the day the Cubs clinched the NL East in 1984 | Al Yellon The team that broke the franchise’s 39-year postseason drought deserves to be remembered, all year long. As 1984 dawned, all Chicago Cubs fans knew this about their favorite team: They hadn’t made the postseason since 1945, and That failure had included some epic collapses in the 1960s and 1970s Ne...2024

    Photo by: 1991 SPX/Diamond Images via Getty Images Some big names both arrived and departed. The Cubs had hoped to contend with the signing of Andre Dawson in 1987. They did for a while, but collapsed in September. Former manager Jim Frey, now GM, attempted to make that right in ‘88. He made some... interesting (translation: mostly not good) deals.

    Photo by Ron Vesely/MLB Photos via Getty Images A couple of these deals did bear fruit, eventually. The Cubs had been in marginal contention from 1977-79 and began 1980 like they’d do the same. They were 11-6 on May 3 and tied for first place in the N.L. East. Then things went south, and in a hurry. From July 2 through the end of the season the Cubs went 32-58 and wound up with a 98-loss s...2023

    Getty Images One good one and ... several really bad deals. Bob Kennedy had taken over as Cubs general manager in November 1976, and he went about re-making the franchise. A couple of minor deals were made in December ‘76, but his first trade of 1977 was a major success for the Cubs.

    Photo by Focus on Sport/Getty Images His split-finger pitch was almost unhittable for a while. There was a time, in the late 1970s, when the split-finger pitch thrown by Cubs closer Bruce Sutter baffled nearly every batter who tried to hit it. Sutter had five outstanding seasons for the Cubs, but eventually his success led to an arbitration award deemed too expensive for the sclerotic Wrig...2022

  • 2023
    "Regarding Dawson’s Cubs Number 8 — he wore Number 10 in Montreal, but at the time he signed with the Cubs, Leon Durham had that number — did you know he was briefly assigned a different number when he first signed with the Cubs?"

  • 2022
    "Cubs ownership claimed the salary was something they couldn’t afford, and after Sutter had another very good season for a 98-loss Cubs team in 1980, they traded him to the Cardinals for Leon Durham, Ken Reitz and Ty Waller."
