Well, that’s the end of the line for Scott Kingery. The 26th man on any team doesn’t need to do a lot to earn his keep, but Kingery just wasn’t trusted enough by Craig Counsell (at the plate or on...

CUBS LINEUP — Tonight’s Cubs game starts after the kids go to bed (9:15pm CT), which isn’t exactly my favorite start time … and will be broadcast on AppleTV+. So while it is an exciting matchup...

The Cubs have been cruising to a degree we’ve not seen in quite some time, but now comes their toughest test of the season against a Dodgers squad that doesn’t seem to be slowing down. What looked...

Cubs vs Dodgers — From the travel to the start times to the general and routine awesomeness of the teams in that division, traveling out West is never fun for the Cubs (or us). HOWEVER, if you are...

Cubs Power Rankings — I was going to wait until the next off day to update my 2026 Chicago Cubs Power Rankings, but since tonight’s game doesn’t start until 9:15 (stupid West Coast), I felt we had...

Maybe you’ve noticed it or maybe you haven’t yet. But Pete Crow-Armstrong is showing a little less of that visible frustration on the field this season. It’s still there in the...

Pete Crow-Armstrong burst onto the scene last season, earning an All-Star nod and a Gold Glove before being rewarded with a $115 million extension that will keep him in Chicago through at least...

Having won a ninth straight game yesterday, the Cubs officially moved into “longest winning streak since 2016” territory, when the eventual champs won 11 games in a row that summer. With three in...

Chicago could have used the extra arm.

When you load the bases in the 10th inning with nobody out, needing only a run to win, you’re winning that game 9 times out of 10. Maybe that’s not the precise math, but you know what I mean. It...

The Cubs (16-9) continue to roll with a four-game sweep of the Phillies at Wrigley Field and have now piled up nine consecutive victories to move into a tie for first place in the National League...

It’s been two weeks since the last installment of this Friday column, and things have kinda changed a bit since then. Way back on April 10, the Cubs were 6-6 heading into their series against the...

I love that this has happened enough lately that I’ve had to say it atop the bullets so many times: I’ll get into the specifics/fun from the walk-off itself later today, will get into some other...

Two of the best teams in baseball square off this weekend at Dodger Stadium

We've seen PCA play like an MVP. And we've seen PCA struggle. When will the Cubs' young star put it all together again?

The fact that it was the Cubs’ 9th straight win and was a walk-off, well, that was always going to get the bulk of the attention yesterday. But by beating the Phillies 8-7, the Cubs also pulled...

Two of the NL's best open a weekend series. Here's how to watch all the action from Chavez Ravine.

Cody Bellinger drove in two runs with a pinch-hit single to help the visiting New York Yankees extend their winning streak to six games by beating the

In a move that I can’t say I understand, the Cubs have acquired utility infielder Nicky Lopez from the Rockies in exchange for cash considerations. Lopez is a favorite of Craig Counsell because...

He’s back! After Thursday’s walk-off win over the Phillies at Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs announced that they’ve acquired old friend Nicky Lopez from the Rockies for cash considerations. Nicky...

The Cubs appeared to be on their way to another comfortable victory on Thursday afternoon with a four-run lead in the late innings. The Phillies made a major push to tie the game in the 9th, but...

The Rockies announced they’ve traded minor league infielder Nicky Lopez to the Cubs for cash. He was on a minor league contract and will not immediately occupy a 40-man roster spot for Chicago....

Already down three of their top relievers in Daniel Palencia, Hunter Harvey, and Phil Maton, the Cubs suffered another blow in Thursday’s walk-off win. Lefty Caleb Thielbar entered to close the...

Dansby Swanson laced a walk-off single in the 10th inning to give the Chicago Cubs an 8-7 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and extend t

That could’ve been a much less exciting win for the Cubs, but I’ll never say no to a walk-off! The Cubs loaded the bases in the bottom of the 10th, and Dansby Swanson played hero to send the Cubs...

Well, today’s win, the Cubs’ ninth in a row, wasn’t without its flaws. Most notably, an already insanely depleted Cubs bullpen may have just lost its best remaining reliever, Caleb Thielbar, to an...

I like Caleb Thielbar quite a bit. He was great for the Cubs last season and has been good so far here in 2025. But frankly, it’s a little ridiculous that he has become the team’s highest leverage...

The Phillies managed to come back today against the Cubs after trailing 6-2. But, have no fear, Seiya Suzuki is here. Suzuki blasted a solo home run to left field, his third home run in as many...

For the third straight game, Seiya Suzuki has gone deep. And this time, it was especially beautiful. The Cubs had just lost a healthy lead, and went into the bottom of the 8th tied at 6. Then...

My GOODNESS, Ian Happ. The power explosion this year is just so incredible. Today, while batting as a righty against one of the toughest left-handed pitchers in baseball (who also happens to be an...

Ian Happ has been scorching hot to start the season, and he’s keeping it going today. He just crushed his 7th home run of the season well onto Waveland Avenue. He’s a dude. Cubs lead 5-2 in the...

Michael Busch started the season very slowly and is still batting just .208. He hit his first home run of the season on Wednesday evening against the Phillies, going 2-for-4 in the game. He now...

Please, oh PLEASE let Michael Busch be heating up for real. After launching his first homer of the season last night, Michael Busch came back with another today. And this one was against a lefty....

This may be worthwhile for Chicago.

Although none of the three is exclusively to blame for the Cubs’ slow start to the season, nor are any of the three exclusively to credit for the current eight-game winning streak, it’s been...
