    • 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 1
    Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports An uneven start to the season. I didn’t set out to be a baseball writer. I just kind of fell into it. I was sitting in the same spot that you, the reader, occupied back in 2017 and even before. I loved this space from its creation and was a commenter on a regular basis. When its previous writer rode off into the sunset after the 2016 championship, I was just ...2024

The Cubs made the postseason, but were eliminate...2024

I think we start where the game basically ended. Ian Happ hit a lob wedge to right with two on in the 10th inning. The ball hung in the air forever and then dropped. The right fielder misplayed it and two runs scored. Dansby Swanson is an ex...2023

    Photo by Joe Robbins/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Cubs host a team that’s been surprisingly good this year. The story of the Cubs and Orioles in 2022 is instructive. The Cubs faced them in Baltimore in June and got blown out, then the second game of the series got rained out. Then the O’s came to Wrigley for a two-game series in July, which Baltimore swept. The Cubs were outscored ...2023
