As you know, the Cubs are the only MLB franchise to be in its original location since the National League was founded in 1876. So that makes this the 150th anniversary of the team, and throughout the year the Cubs have been honoring that history in many different ways. Thursday, the club announced a 150th […]
Happy Friday, everyone! We’ve made it through another week and we’re closing in on the end of August. Still hard to believe that the end of summer and the end of the regular baseball season are now just over a month away (howww????). This, of course, brings us to the weird and wacky position the […]
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Karl “Tuffy” Rhodes, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1931 – Babe Ruth becomes the first major leaguer to hit 600 career home runs as the Yankees defeat the Browns, 11-7, and other stories as well.

The person who left the Pelicans game last night in an ambulance was Pelicans pitcher Geovanny Vasquez, who suffered from a “heat-related illness.” He was held overnight and released. He is back with the team. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs roasted the Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers), 5-4 in ten innings. Connor Noland pitched the first […]
As you know, the Cubs have made a habit out of exciting walk-off wins this year. They’ve had 12 in all, which is tied for second-best in franchise history. The team record of 14 was set in 1930, a year where the team came agonizingly short of a second straight NL pennant. The 2015 Cubs, […]
Pete Crow-Armstrong led off the bottom of the first in the Crosstown Classic with a home run. Then he walked off the game with his 30th home run, which locked in back-to-back 30-30 seasons. For good measure he started the next game with (you guessed it) a home run. Let’s rewatch that walkoff again [VIDEO]. […]
When Edward Cabrera returned from his injury, Craig Counsell announced that he’d go back in the rotation and David Peterson would go to the bullpen. Welp. As you know, Cabrera’s start was a disaster and he wound up back on the injured list with a blister. Earlier this week I had asked you in the […]
So much feast and so much famine in 2026. 10-game winning streaks, a 10-game losing streak. A few prolonged winning periods. A few prolonged losing periods. On the net, the winning has significantly outweighed the losing, but still frustrating. The Cubs have dropped four of seven. A speed bump not particularly notable. But it is […]
Today’s Reflections “Oh, what a (couple of) night(s)!” as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (almost) sang! A historic lead-off and walk-off home-run Monday night by Pete Crow-Armstrong, followed by another lead-off HR by PCA and a pair of game-tying and game-winning RBI singles by Alex Bregman Tuesday definitely gave the two games a play-off […]

The Cubs have signed shortstop Jackson Cluff to a minor league deal and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. In the eighth inning of the Pelicans game, there was a 32-minute delay as someone in the Pelicans dugout suffered a medical emergency. The person, and I don’t know who it was at the moment, was taken […]
The Cubs lost to the White Sox 3-0 on a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon, and the “gorgeous” part is about the only good thing I can say about the afternoon… with the offense disappearing, I am reduced to paraphrasing Jimmy Buffett lyrics for a headline. And come on. José Urquidy? A guy the Sox picked up […]
