    Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images The Cubs opened their series against the visitors from Houston with a decisive victory. After a lackluster series split against the Marlins, the Cubs needed a game like their 7-2 win over the Astros Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field to show themselves, and everyone else, that they’re still the strong contending team many expected them to be this year.

    Adbert Alzolay yells into his glove after blowing his fourth save on Saturday. | John J. Kim/Chicago Tribune Who will close for the team?

    David Banks-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs had a rough week, though there were still some highlights. Since we last met in the “Three up, three down” space here a week ago, the Cubs are 4-3. That’s ... not awful. But it seems a lot worse, doesn’t it? It’s clear that the team misses the offense provided by Seiya Suzuki, who is likely out at least three more weeks. Guys are just going to have to ...2024

I know I’m having a selective memory problem, but I just feel like every year there is some disappointment involving games with the Marlins. Some of them are obvious. The recent post season loss. The 2003 soul-crushing NLCS loss. Heck, go all the way back to 1997 and they were a...2024
