• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 27

Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images Bombed in Boston, the Cubs lose 17-0! I have one real goal in writing about this one. Write even less than Al did. He had to cover some of the carnage. There is really no need to talk about this game. It was a train wreck. From my perspective, there were two frustrating things about this game and neither really amounts to much in the long run. First,...2024

Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports I watched this game so you didn’t have to. Remember when I wrote these words in the recap to Friday’s game? Friends, the Chicago Cubs are a very good baseball team I’m not going back on those words but oh my goodness, the Cubs did not look like a very good baseball team in a blowout 17-0 loss to the Red Sox Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park. The Red Sox scored...2024

GETTING OFF TO A GOOD START: With a win today, the Cubs would complete the opening one sixth of the season with a record of 18-9.
