• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 7Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images The Cubs pummel the A’s as they open their new home. On Sunday, the Cubs missed an opportunity to have a signature win. They could have taken three of four from a legitimate playoff contender, in their ballpark and even the season record at three wins and three losses. We’ve seen so many bullpen collapses in recent years, particularly early season ones, that it...2025Click for news about Joey Estes -
• A look at Cubs cycles through historyMLB Photos via Getty Images Here are the 11 Cubs who cycled before Monday. Carson Kelly hit for the cycle in Monday’s game against the A’s in Sacramento. He's the first Cub to accomplish that feat in more than 31 years. One of the reasons for that is that Wrigley Field, particularly since the completion of the iconic bleacher structure in 1937, is not a good triples park. And some of the n...2025See more articles MLB Photos -
• Cubs 18, Athletics 3: Carson Kelly hits for the cycle in a blowout winPhoto by Lachlan Cunningham/MLB Photos via Getty Images The Cubs bats came alive in Sacramento, and the Cubs catcher did something that hadn’t happened in more than three decades. It was a grand opening the Cubs will certainly never forget, and the Athletics would probably like to. The first MLB game in Sacramento ended with the score Cubs 18, A’s 3, with the Cubs pounding out 21 hits, inc...2025Continue with Carson Kelly -

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 3Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images One and two. In more ways than one. One and two. That describes the Cubs record this season through three games. A large number of teams will be one and two after three games. Maybe as many as half, probably a little less. It is predictive of nothing. Would “oh” and three have been worse? Somewhat, but not massively. There are no “big” wins in March. Of tha...2025See also Spring Training -
• Cubs 10, Diamondbacks 6: Miguel Amaya drives in fivePhoto by Norm Hall/Getty Images The Cubs began the North American portion of the 2025 schedule with an offensive outburst. Here’s yet another example of why Spring Training results mean nothing. The Cubs returned from Japan — where their bats were pretty silent — and played five games at Sloan Park, in which they were outscored 35-13, and lost four of the five. Two days later, the Cubs sma...2025See more articles Miguel Amaya

They recovered, a bit, after that, and had a run of 39-34 from May 12 through Aug. 1. That inclu...2024Continue with Wrigley Field
