• 5 bold predictions for the 2025 Cubs

Photo by Jasen Vinlove/Miami Marlins/Getty Images In which I go out on the proverbial limb to forecast the year to come. Usually, I post an article toward the end of the year revisiting my bold predictions for the Cubs for that season. Why didn’t I do that in 2024? Because not one of my five bold predictions came true. Not even close. I give you the link here because in hindsight, several ...2025

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The plot thickens.

• Nationals 5, Cubs 1: Almost Gored

Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images Nats lefthander MacKenzie Gore took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before it was broken up. Kyle Hendricks deserved better. This was his penultimate start at Wrigley Field as a Cub — presuming he’s not back next year, and I don’t think he will be — and for five-plus innings, Kyle threw pretty well, allowing just a single run in the second. Then he ...2024

The Cubs didn’t much seem to want to win this game, having to come back from multiple deficits and getting some more poor relief work. Nevertheless, a seventh-inning rally erased the last of those deficits and the Cubs hung on for a 7-6 win over the Nationals in the final night game of t...2024

There have been a few good starts, but also games where he’s just got hit really hard. This might wind up being his last MLB season. This was one of the good ones, in fact, one of The Professor’s best of 2024 — and ...2024

And yet, the Cubs, playing their best baseball of the year, did it at exactly the time they needed to, completing a three-game sweep of the Nationals with a convincing 14-1 win.

Next time the Cubs open a season — a year or so from now — could we have a little less controversy and injury?
