A Chicago Cubs Fan Community Since February 9, 2005
The Cubs were in Goodyear, west of the Valley, to face the Reds. The Reds’ outfield was kind enough to allow the Cubs plenty of extra bases on balls they should have caught and/or corralled, and surely Jameson Taillon was thankful for the support. Moises Ballesteros had a highlight [VIDEO]. Chas McCormick drove in a […]

The Cubs scored four runs in the first inning of this game and the game summary shows they hit three doubles in that inning, but all three of those baseballs could have been played had the Reds had a bit better defense. In the end it didn’t matter, as Jameson Taillon and Ryan Rolison both […]

Today we look at one of the Cubs’ veteran relievers. Phil Maton has been around for a minute. He was drafted in the 20th round by the Padres in 2015, and debuted with the same club two years later. He’s piched for six teams over nine years, having amassed 23 wins, 20 losses, boasting a […]
The Dodgers are going to win 130 games and blow away the NL West. Of course they’re not going to do that. Isn’t that what was said about the Dodgers last year? They won exactly one more game than the Cubs did. Obviously they’re the favorites to win their division again, as they have done […]
Happy March, everyone! It feels like Spring Training only just got started, but we’re already at World Baseball Classic week as the games get underway on Thursday March 5th. It’s crazy to think that we were just complaining how it felt like winter would never end, and now we’re in the same month that will […]

Here’s a handy Cubs timeline, to help you follow the various narrative paths. “Maybe I called it wrong, but it’s official.” — Tom Connolly, HoF Umpire. […]
MESA, Arizona — The Cubs’ 5-1 loss to the White Sox on another very hot afternoon was painfully reminiscent of some Shōta Imanaga starts last year. Imanaga threw 47 pitches in 2.2 innings. Three of those pitches left the yard, solo homers by Edgar Quero, Austin Hays and Braden M0ntgomery, two of whom will likely […]

Go get ‘em, Shōta.

It’s chock-full Sunday. You’ll need at least a coffee. The Cubs Spring Training Crew approaches the .500 threshold. Good news about Justin Steele heads up the list — he’s ready to shove. Bad news about former Cub Dan Serafini, who has been found guilty of murder and won’t be seeing daylight anytime soon. The Cubs […]
The Dodgers were a split squad Saturday, but many of their regulars played against the Cubs, among them Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernández. And three Cubs pitchers who are all in the mix for swingman/relief/starter roles threw very well and the Cubs defeated the Dodgers 6-2. And today, if you missed […]

We are now a bit over a week into Spring Training games and at last, Friday’s game featured just about everyone who will be in the Opening Day lineup March 26 (except Seiya Suzuki, who’s already back in Japan for the start of the World Baseball Classic). There aren’t many question marks about the Cubs […]
No TV, no radio. Absolute BS. Baseball teams can afford to take the loss in order to promote the game. But they won’t. And it isn’t going to get better. For the cost of an NRI longshot or, even better, some minuscule portion of CEO salary, these games could be made available to you and […]
