• Mets 6, Cubs 2: The difference between these teams? The bullpensVincent Carchietta-Imagn Images The Cubs and Mets aren’t that far apart. But the Mets have better relievers. The Cubs and Mets played evenly for the first six and a half innings of this game, pretty much while the starters were still throwing. Then the bullpens took over and you can see the difference between the two teams. Mets relievers shut down Cubs hitters. Cubs relievers allowed four...2025See also Matthew Boyd -
• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 31Photo by Joe Robbins/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Cubs come up short in Pittsburgh and lose 4-3. Some of my longtime readers may wonder if I had a life transformation or if someone else is writing this for me this year. No questions about glasses half full or empty. No extended metaphors or analogies. Not particularly even any off topic discussions that don’t talk about the game i...2025Check it out Craig Counsell rumors -

These are players you once rooted for, when they were wearing the blue pinstripes of the Chicago Cubs. Now, they’ve moved on to other teams, via trades, free agency or waivers, and now they play for one of the other 29 teams that make up Major League Baseball. Here ...2025Click for news about Cody Bellinger rumors -
• The Cubs need a bullpen fix — and fastPhoto by Masterpress/Getty Images Sunday’s meltdown was one of the worst in recent memory. As a refresher, one of the things that torpedoed — to use a current baseball-related word — the Cubs’ 2024 season was some awful bullpen work over the first couple of months. These are the pitchers who were in the Cubs’ Opening Day bullpen in 2024: Yency Almonte, Adbert Alzolay, Jose Cuas, Mark Leite...2025Check it out Yency Almonte headline news -

• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 130Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs offense explodes in a 14-2 win. Finally! After an interminably long road, this team made it back to .500. Unfortunately, the trip back took so long that it’s unlikely this team can continue on and get into legitimate contention. Fangraphs has the Cubs projected for 82 wins and a 3.3 percent chance of making the postseason. I’m not prepared to quibble ...2024Visit the page Patrick Wisdom injury -
• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 129Albert Cesare/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK The Cubs win the opener in Miami, 6-3. On April 26, the Cubs reached their high water mark at 17-9. That was a start so fantastic that the Cubs could go .500 the rest of the way and they’d win 85 games. 85 wins would have reached the playoffs last season and figures to be within a game or two this year at worst. As we all know, the bottom fe...2024See also Craig Counsell -

• Cubs 7, Blue Jays 5: At last, a win in Canada
Photo by Mark Blinch/Getty Images The Cubs ended a 14-year losing streak north of the border. TORONTO — It required six relievers (seven, if you count Luke Farrell on what was a bullpen day) and some timely hitting, but Wednesday night the Cubs ended a losing streak in Canada that had lasted more than 14 years. Sure, it was only a five-game Canadian losing streak (three in 2014, the first ...2022Check it out Blue Jays

There have been other years when I’ve posted a number of blowout losses in this annual recap.
