• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 48

Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images Some good, a lot of bad in the Cubs 8-7 loss in Miami. By my count, this is the first time I’ve picked a picture that included new third base coach Quintin Berry. Former third base coach Willie Harris was particularly expressive and photogenic over at third in years gone by and when a photographer captured one of those, I liked to grab those photos. Thi...2025

• Marlins 8, Cubs 7: Losses don’t come much tougher than that

Sam Navarro-Imagn Images The Cubs had this game seemingly in hand. And then, suddenly, they didn’t. I had a happy recap all ready in my head about this game, wrapped around Ben Brown’s weird start, two stirring Cubs comebacks and some solid relief pitching... ... and then that solid relief pitching went “poof” with two out and nobody on base in the bottom of the ninth. Daniel Palencia reti...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 47

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images A 6-2 win and a sweep of the White Sox made for a good Sunday. It feels fitting for Pete Crow-Armstrong to be right in the middle of the defining inning of this game. He scored two of the first three runs in the game. He had a hand in the other scoring, though he doesn’t get an RBI for his aggressive baserunning and the opportunity (however i...2025
