• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 72

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images It was not pretty, but the Cubs took care of business with a 3-2 win. Had these last 13 games occurred in a different order, say reversed, I’m not sure that the Cubs wouldn’t have lost seven or even more. The Cubs didn’t play great during this stretch. To be clear, they didn’t play badly either. I’ve got the score over 13 games at 47-36 combined. Using...2025

• Cubs 3, Pirates 2: Ian Happ walks it off

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs once again didn’t get much offense... but just enough to win. One day, Cubs hits will ring out all over Wrigley Field. One day, Cubs home runs will fly one after one into the iconic Wrigley bleachers. One day, the Cubs will win a home game by seven or eight or nine runs. Today was not that day. It was, though, a good day in the end, as Ian Happ’s wal...2025

David Banks-Imagn Images The offense stays stalled, but pitching carries the Cubs to a 2-1 win. Yet again, the Cubs offense struggled. For the first time this year, this team is not really rising to challenges. They are struggling day after day. But, they won again Saturday. One can simultaneously accept the win and that they did just enough while also recognizing that this team just isn’...2025

David Banks-Imagn Images The Cubs also got solid pitching and defense. The sun finally appeared at Wrigley Field Saturday afternoon following a dreary Friday and a cloudy morning. The Cubs offense, though, didn’t really show up, scoring just two runs. However, they also got outstanding pitching from Matthew Boyd and three relievers and Dansby Swanson’s tie-breaking homer in the sixth was t...2025
