Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images The Cubs took care of business in the opener of a three-game series. The Cubs began a series against the worst team in baseball, the Rockies, at Wrigley Field Monday afternoon. These types of series can be called “traps,” in other words, trapping the better team into thinking it’ll be easy. The Cubs won 3-1 against a surprisingly tenacious Rockies te...2025

Photo by Jeff Dean/Getty Images PCA keys a come-from-behind 13-6 win. For a minute there, you thought the stories would be the bad first inning for Matthew Boyd and the continuing implosion of Julian Merryweather. These aren’t those Cubs. This team has so much fight in it and so a 6-2 early deficit became a 13-6 win. Eleven unanswered runs over the game’s final three innings. I’ll mention...2025

Seriously, the Cubs had no business winning Friday’s game, not after Matthew Boyd had a rare bad outing, not after Julian Merryweather had another lousy relief appearance, not after they went into the seventh inning trailing by four.
