Yesterday was an annoying baseball day. The Cubs lost to the Cardinals after hitting a three-run homer in the first inning.

Cardinals 6, Cubs 5: Shōta Imanaga and the home runs. Again.
Cubs left-hander Shōta Imanaga was off to such a good start this season. Over his first nine starts he posted a 2.32 ERA and allowed just five home runs in 54.1 innings. Maybe, just maybe, he had put the home-run issue from last year in the past? Well, nope, or so it now seems. Over […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 57
Gee, winning for the 31st time sure was a lot easier than winning for the 30th time turned out to be. It took 11 tries to win number 30. But then the Cubs came right back and won their 31st, despite the immensely talented Paul Skenes being in their way. I love this for so […]
