On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks series preview
The Cubs already have the postseason tiebreaker over the Phillies and Padres for a potential Wild Card Series matchup. They swept the Diamondbacks in Wrigley Field back in May, so will need to win only once to get the tiebreaker over Arizona for such a matchup. Of course, two or three wins here would be […]
Chicago Cubs update: Pete Crow-Armstrong, David Peterson, Aaron Civale
The Cubs were involved in four walk-off games of the six they played against the White Sox and Mariners over the past week. Unfortunately, since the latter series was on the road, the Cubs won only two of those four walk-offs. And even though they went just 3-3 on the week, they scored 39 runs […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Ian Happ is the Superhero vs. the Mariners
Hey, I did say in my Up Next for this game that I liked the pitching matchup. I think I probably envisioned a stronger performance from Shōta Imanaga. I’ll hat tip Aaron Civale for his performance in this one, saving a lot of bullpen and also being very effective. I understand and respect that he’ll […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Tyrone Taylor is the Superhero vs. the Mariners
It might feel like we can’t have nice things as Cub fans after a game like this. I’m sure there will be dozens of storylines all across the internet about the Cubs and blown saves on a day like this. And I’m not blowing smoke at anyone. I’m not revisiting this after a Saturday night […]

Chicago Cubs news — Bregman, Happ, Busch, PCA, Palencia, Boyd

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Alex Bregman is the Superhero vs. the Mariners
If you were an outsider to Cubs/Mariners on Friday night, it was a thrilling back and forth game. The Mariners appear to be a team on the outside looking in, though they are within striking distance of a division title in a down year for the AL West. Despite that, this had that feel of […]
Mariners 6, Cubs 5: Alex Bregman homers twice, but then there’s that RISPy business
SEATTLE — To begin this recap of Friday night’s 6-5 Cubs 10-inning loss to the Mariners, I thought it would be appropriate to give you this fact from BCB’s JohnW53, because this is the primary reason the Cubs lost this game: The Cubs’ 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position was their worst with […]
