• Today in Cubs history: An Opening Day for the agesErnie Banks | Getty Images The Cubs and Cardinals fought for more than four hours... and in the end, neither team won. Monday, April 12, 1965 was the season opener for the Cubs and Cardinals at Wrigley Field. When it began, both teams’ records were, of course, 0-0. And when it ended, those records were... the same. Let me explain. Larry Jackson had an outstanding 1964 season — 24-11, 3.14 ...2025See more articles Ernie Banks news -
• Hey, Tom Ricketts! You need to get Kyle Tucker signed now — and not just for baseball reasonsDavid Banks-Imagn Images There’s something else that this signing would do for the Cubs. With Kyle Tucker off to a great start with the Cubs, the chorus of voices urging Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts to open up the team wallet and sign Tucker to an extension before he hits free agency has gotten louder. While there’s no question about Tucker’s abilities on the field — he’s hitting the way he ...2025Check it out Tom Ricketts news -
• Where do I draw the line?I've written many times that I discard most of my rules for condition for a card from the 1950s or earlier. If I have a shot at getting a card from at least 70 years ago, I will not care if the corners are rounded, that there are a few creases, that it shows wear as a card like that should. (But I'll usually veer away from old cards that are stained or drawn on). But those relaxed rules don't...2025See more Tommy Davis breaking news -

• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1932Mark Koenig at Wrigley Field in 1933 | Photo by Transcendental Graphics/Getty Images It was a Cubs pennant year, with a couple of key acquisitions. The Cubs returned to the World Series in 1932, winning the NL pennant by four games. In second place for much of the season early, it took a 22-6 August — which included a 14-game winning streak and a 19-2 run — to secure the title. Unfortunate...2024Read about Wrigley Field injury status -

I think it’s reasonable to say that most Cubs fans are excited about Friday’s trade that brought Kyle Tucker to the Cubs. Even if Tucker does leave via free agency after one season, the addition of a hitter of his caliber gives the Cubs an excellent chance to win the NL Central...2024See more articles Kyle Tucker injury status -

The Cubs, after their 1932 pennant, finished third, six games out of first place in 1933. Hopes were high after they spent much of April and May 1934 in first place, but a slow fade was capped by a 12-14 September, and another third-place ...2024See more articles Gabby Hartnett -

In 1959, the Cubs had contended briefly, and finished with 74 wins, their most since 1952 and second-most since 1946. They had the two-time MVP Ernie Banks anchoring a pretty good offense.

• Guardians 6, Cubs 1: Swept outta ClevelandPhoto by Jason Miller/Getty Images This was not the result the Cubs wanted at Progressive Field. In a week where the Cubs had hoped to show they belonged in the NL wild card race, instead they blew a lead and tried to come back in one game, and then the offense disappeared for the rest of the series. The 6-1 loss Wednesday, resulting in a sweep by the Guardians, was thus a microcosm of the...2024See more articles Jameson Taillon -
