• Cubs 11, Dodgers 10: This team never quits!

Matt Marton-Imagn Images The Cubs won their second bonkers game of this homestand. The Cubs were behind... and then, suddenly, they weren’t. And then they built a nice lead... and then, blew it and wound up behind in the late innings. Then, just as they did in Friday’s crazy game at Wrigley Field, this Cubs team came back. They forced extra innings and Ian Happ’s 10th-inning single complet...2025

I don’t want anyone to think that I’m going to just be dismissive of every loss. I’m high on the team and ignoring the losses, at some point, feels like that I’m just dismissing the things that don’t flow with my narr...2025

The look from Carson Kelly sums up this one | Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images There were multiple rain delays and the Cubs lost a frustrating extra-inning game. How was your Sunday? Oh yes, as you can imagine I have some things to say about how Sunday’s weather was handled at the ballpark, but I’m going to save that for tomorrow. The Cubs lost to the Diamondbacks 3-2 in 11 innings, a loss t...2025

Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images The Cubs win a relatively mellow game for a change, 6-2. One of the byproducts of a stacked early season schedule is that every game has either felt like a playoff game or has been lopsided against the Cubs. A week ago, the Cubs had a laugher in Los Angeles. It was almost two weeks ago that there was a comfortable win at home against the Rangers. The A’...2025

David Banks-Imagn Images The Cubs pounded the long ball early and then got some solid relief pitching. The Cubs started out Saturday just like they had ended Friday, pouring on lots of runs and home runs, despite a temperature 25 degrees colder at Wrigley Field. Home runs by Michael Busch and Seiya Suzuki led a six-run onslaught off Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen in the first two innings ...2025
