The Chicago Cubs’ outings in May have been filled with disappointment and uncertainty. They slid from 27-12 to 32-28 in just three weeks. Bruce Levine, baseball analyst on WSCR-AM and 670thescore.com, decided to give the team a reality check. “The Cubs are an average team right now,” Levine said on 104.3 The Score on June […]

The Cubs went 3-4 over the past week, which isn’t great… until you remember that they had lost eight in a row before the week began, and then the first two games of last week. So let’s go with this: The Cubs have won three of their last five. Something to build on, anyway. Here’s […]
The Chicago Cubs were defeated by a final score of 5-1 by the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night. The Cubs have been rather inconsistent this season, which is something that continued during their series against the Cardinals.

The Chicago Cubs need starting pitching depth, but they're wasting their time with former top prospect Jordan Wicks. Wicks has an ERA over 15 in two starts so far this season.
It’s not entirely true that the Cubs had a 10-game winning streak during the month of May. They, in fact, had the last eight of 10 straight wins to start May. So the reality ends up being that the Cubs started the month with eight straight wins. Then they finished the month 13-16 overall. By […]
The Cubs looked really good Saturday. Great pitching from Ben Brown, a huge day from Pete Crow-Armstrong, good relief, great defense… As good as they looked Saturday, that’s how bad the team looked Sunday in a dispiriting 5-1 loss to the Cardinals. You knew it probably wasn’t going to be the Cubs’ night after they […]
I can finally say something that I’ve rarely been able to say this season. A Cardinals pitcher got past the 5th inning without dealing with a train wreck. The truth is Matthew Liberatore was as sharp as he’s been all year. That fact combined with the St. Louis Cardinals bats waking up resulted in a […]
Go get ‘em, Jordan.
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to rebound and win the series Sunday night when Matthew Liberatore takes the mound for another national broadcast. Jordan Wicks will get the start for the Chicago Cubs. First pitch is set for 6:20pm central time as the game will be watchable on NBC/Peacock.
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Cardinals lineup: Jordan Wicks, LHP vs. Matthew Liberatore, LHP Jordan Wicks’ first 2026 start was awful. Not going to dwell on it. Turn the page. I will say that Wicks threw three solid innings in that first start after a horrid first inning, before falling apart again in the fifth. So… […]

It’s the last day in May and the first time this season the Cubs will be featured as the Sunday Night Game of the Week in 2026. It’s also the beginning of a whole new era of Sunday Night Baseball here at Bleed Cubbie Blue, with the game moving from ESPN to NBC this season. […]
The St. Louis Cardinals are on a postseason track and could swing for the fences with the ultimate blockbuster trade for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal.
Things have been a little unpredictable lately with the Cubs. They won their least likely to win game in Pittsburgh while winning a couple where the matchup looked decent. So it’s always nice to win one that looks good on paper. Not only did the Cubs win this one, but it was pretty convincing. If […]
The Chicago Cubs got a huge performance from Pete Crow-Armstrong on Saturday. Crow-Armstrong finished the team’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a home run and four total hits.

Brown threw seven outstanding innings, his longest outing of the year, and PCA went 4-for-5, including a memorable home run, as the Cubs evened up the series with […]

Alex Bregman was critically honest about the ups and downs of the Chicago Cubs‘ strange start to the 2026 MLB season. The Cubs boasted two 10-game winning streaks, showing their ceiling as a playoff contender in the National League. However, they suffered a 10-game losing streak that had them go down in the conference standings. […]

The Saturday night matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs was supposed to be electric. What it turned out to be was…odd. The St. Louis Cardinals got a solid start out of Kyle Leahy, yet he wouldn’t make it out of the 5th inning and the Cardinals offense was nearly mute squandering what […]
Go get ‘em, Ben.
After a thrilling Friday night victory full of St. Louis Cardinals home runs, game 2 of the rivalry will happen Saturday night at Busch Stadium as Kyle Leahy will make the start for the St. Louis Cardinals while the Chicago Cubs will ask Ben Brown to take one for the team.
