• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 18Peter van den Berg-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs win the game, the series, and the road trip with 5-3 victory. I like to start with a disclaimer. You are welcome to your own fandom and to experiencing it however you like. It is not my intent to tell you how you should think. How am I feeling about this team through 18 games? This team has gotten one abbreviated start from its best starter, Jus...2024Check it out Justin Steele -

• Diamondbacks 12, Cubs 11: This space intentionally left blankPhoto by Norm Hall/Getty Images I can’t even... Whatever that game was, I did not like it one bit. Well, perhaps that’s too harsh. The Cubs scored a lot of runs! They got a key grand slam from Ian Happ! They were one out away from victory... Nope. Sorry. Going back to “did not like it one bit.” The Diamondbacks beat the Cubs 12-11 in 11 innings Tuesday night in Arizona, and while we can fi...2024Visit the page Ian Happ breaking news today -
• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 16Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images Erasing 2023? The Cubs swipe one in Arizona. I was watching this game and thinking what a great time it has been to be a Cubs fan over these last 10 years. Even before the Cubs pulled off this win, just seeing this team playing really good baseball yet again. It’s really been fun to watch. Those of you who are under 30 probably don’t have much memory of the...2024See more articles Seiya Suzuki headline news -
• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 15Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs edge the Mariners and escape Seattle with two wins. I’m never going to tell you how you should feel. For my money? Splitting the first two series on this trip? It’s not bad. Certainly, we lived it so we know that a fourth win out of those six games was totally possible. But, these were two different teams. Both teams played well against the Cubs. By ...2024See also Javier Assad latest news -
• Cubs 3, Mariners 2: It’s Michael Busch’s league and we are all just living in itSteven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs got themselves a real keeper in their January trade with the Dodgers. Not many Cubs fans, I would say, had heard of Michael Busch when the Cubs traded for him (and Yency Almonte) back in January. This was true even though Busch had been a first-round pick of the Dodgers (31st overall) back in 2019 (Cubs could have had Busch back then, too, they select...2024See more Michael Busch news and rumors

RUN SCORING: The Cubs have scored 71 runs in their first 11 games. That ties for the fourth most they have tallied through 11 games at the start of a season in the Modern Era. Their record is 80, in 1954, but they went 5-6 in those games. The Cubs scored 77 in 1929 (7-4), 74 in 2019 (3-8) and 71 in 19...2024See also Chicago Cubs injury report -
• Cubs 9, Rockies 8: Sweep!Photo by Griffin Quinn/Getty Images The Cubs fought off the weather and a Rockies rally to complete the three-game sweep. The weather outside was frightful.

It rained — and snowed — most of the day in Chicago and the start of the game w...2024See more Luke Little injury update -

Next time the Cubs open a season — a year or so from now — could we have a little less controversy and injury? The Cubs lost Game 1 of the 2024 season to the Rangers 4-3 in 10 innings, and also have likely lost ace Justin Steele to the injured list, though for how long is not yet certain....2024See more Justin Steele injury report -

• Cubs 7, Blue Jays 5: At last, a win in Canada
Photo by Mark Blinch/Getty Images The Cubs ended a 14-year losing streak north of the border. TORONTO — It required six relievers (seven, if you count Luke Farrell on what was a bullpen day) and some timely hitting, but Wednesday night the Cubs ended a losing streak in Canada that had lasted more than 14 years. Sure, it was only a five-game Canadian losing streak (three in 2014, the first ...2022See also Blue Jays

With one swing of the bat, Christopher Morel let the Padres know that Monday’s game wasn’t going to define this series.

But a whole lot more of it came together Saturday night. Shōta Imanaga was slightly less dominant that he’d been in his first two starts, but was still very good. The offense wasn’t quite as relentless as it has been at times. But, they slugged t...2024See more articles Justin Steele stats -

This would normally be Shōta Imanaga’s day to start, so I am guessing he’ll stay at the Sloan Park complex and throw a fe...2024Read about Rick Scuteri
