• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 28

Photo by Jaiden Tripi/Getty Images The Cubs come back late only to see the Red Sox walk it off. This weekend was one of the first times that I felt that the cumulative weight of all of the injuries started to really show. On Saturday, we saw too many pitchers who have been forced into larger roles than they were originally targeted for. On Sunday, the Cubs offense felt a bat or two short....2024

• Red Sox 5, Cubs 4: So close

Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs tied the game late, but could not convert it into victory. If Dansby Swanson can hold on to that little floater into left field, the Cubs probably turn a double play in the bottom of the ninth, because Jarren Duran had strayed from third base. In that case the game probably goes to extra innings. But he didn’t. Don’t blame Dansby, that would have be...2024

Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images Bombed in Boston, the Cubs lose 17-0! I have one real goal in writing about this one. Write even less than Al did. He had to cover some of the carnage. There is really no need to talk about this game. It was a train wreck. From my perspective, there were two frustrating things about this game and neither really amounts to much in the long run. First,...2024

Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports I watched this game so you didn’t have to. Remember when I wrote these words in the recap to Friday’s game? Friends, the Chicago Cubs are a very good baseball team I’m not going back on those words but oh my goodness, the Cubs did not look like a very good baseball team in a blowout 17-0 loss to the Red Sox Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park. The Red Sox scored...2024

Photo by Billie Weiss/Boston Red Sox/Getty Images Cubs rookies carry the load in 7-1 win for their fourth straight. I’m ready to combine my repetitive thoughts from last year and this year into one thought. Last year, I implored the Cubs to “get greedy.” Any they climbed into contention by doing just that. This year, I’ve applauded them for being relentless on several occasions. Right now,...2024

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Cubs sweep the Astros to close a successful homestand. Every season is an entity onto its own. You watch enough seasons and they start to feel like one long homogenous mass. But when you sort them out, or more specifically when one is going on, you can really feel that individuality. And so, as we sit in front of this currently unfolding season, th...2024

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Deja Vu! The Cubs ride early offense to another win over the Astros. For the second straight game, the Cubs rode the same strategy to victory over the visiting Astros. That formula was, ambush them with a big inning in the bottom of the first, ride a strong pitching performance and cruise to victory. Well, actually, like any good sequel, the second one w...2024
