• On The Horizon: Cubs vs. White Sox series preview

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images The first series of this year’s Crosstown Classic is this weekend. In its infinite wisdom, Major League Baseball has decreed that beginning this year, the “rivalry” series between in-city or in-state (or manufactured) rivals shall be six games, two three-game series, instead of the previous pair of two-game series.

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs offense was ineffective in a 3-1 loss. Worried is the wrong word. But the offensive malaise is lingering a bit longer than I expected. The Cubs have scored 27 runs over their last eight games. I don’t think there is any question that the injury to Ian Happ is part of the equation. The tailing off of Kyle Tucker is a piece of it.

This recap of the Cubs’ 3-1 loss to the Marlins Wednesday evening at Wrigley Field is going to be fairly short and to the point. Partly, that’s because this game was the shortest of the year so far for the Cubs: Two hours, 11 minutes. As you know, I’m always a fan of shorter games. (More so, of course, if the C...2025
