• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 92

Photo by Scott Kane/Getty Images The Cubs lose their second straight in Minnesota, 4-2. I think that no matter how long I’ve been a baseball fan, I’ll never stop being fascinated how fast a bad team can look good and vice versa. There’s a lot of fool’s gold to be found over the course of a baseball season. If you had been out of the country or something and not following the Cubs before t...2025
