Cubs vs. White Sox Wednesday 8/19 game threads
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Tyrone Taylor is the Superhero vs. the White Sox White Sox 3, Cubs 0: The weather was here. Wish the game had been beautiful Cubs vs. White Sox, Wednesday 8/19, 1:20 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Wednesday 8/19, 1:20 CT
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Alex Bregman is the Superhero vs. the White Sox
It just keeps on going. The Cubs complete another walk-off win. Consecutive walk-off wins, consecutive PCA lead-off homers. I could get used to this. That’s 13 of them and that ties 1932 and 2015 for the second most in franchise history (14 in 1930). I keep seeing echoes of that 2015 season. That’s a really […]
Cubs 4, White Sox 3: Alex Bregman ties it up, then walks it off
Personally, I would not recommend winning games this way on a regular basis. But the Cubs seem to have found the knack for taking leads, giving them up, coming from behind and winning in a walk-off. They did it again Tuesday night at Wrigley Field — including a long rain delay — defeating the White […]
MLB News Outside The Confines: The Dog Days of summer
Good morning. Here are the two home runs and the stolen HR.
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — August 19
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Rocky Cherry, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1951 – Wearing uniform number 1/8, forty-three-inch-tall Eddie Gaedel walks on four pitches from Bob Cain in his only major league appearance. Bill Veeck‘s idea of playing the midget was legal at the time but is later outlawed, and other […]

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Hartshorn, Snell homer in South Bend win
Lots of movement over the weekend. Iowa left-hander Josh Fleming was released. Iowa right-hander Tyler Santana was activated off the Development List. Left-hander Ethan Flanagan was promoted to Double-A Knoxville from High-A South Bend. Outfielder Ethan Conrad was promoted to South Bend from Low-A Myrtle Beach. Right-hander Luke Alwood was promoted to South Bend from […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Tuesday 8/18, 7:05 CT
Tuesday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Kevin Gausman, RHP vs. Bryan Hudson, LHP Kevin Gausman has made two starts for the Cubs, one good (vs. the Royals), one not so much (vs. the Nationals). The last time he pitched in Wrigley Field he wasn’t good either, but… that was facing Cubs hitters! Gausman has […]

Another look at remaining schedules for the Cubs and Brewers
After Monday’s big Cubs win, which moved them to within 4.5 games of the division lead, I thought it would be a good time to revisit this. The Brewers have 37 games remaining, the Cubs 36. As a reminder, the Brewers lead the season series with the Cubs four games to two, and the teams […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Nico Hoerner is the Superhero vs. the White Sox
It can be thrown around a bit too often, but that game certainly felt like playoff baseball. You can slice it, dice it, stir it, and shake it, but no matter how you spin it, through four games these White Sox have given the Cubs all they can handle. The games have been old fashioned […]
Cubs 7, White Sox 5: Pete Crow-Armstrong walks it off… and simultaneously joins the 30/30 Club!
Just 10 days ago, we had a game at Wrigley Field, the walk-off win against the Blue Jays — that many were calling “the game of the year.” This one, Monday’s walk-off 7-5, 10-inning win over the White Sox, might have topped that. And both were keyed by Pete Crow-Armstrong, who over and over and […]
Chicago Cubs news — Conforto, Amaya, Ramirez, Suzuki, Cabrera, Swanson
Today’s Reflections Well. We received the privilege of witnessing an incredible historic achievement. That took some of the sting out of Saturday’s loss. That also made Sunday’s loss twice as bad, however. Matthew Boyd has been really clicking along in four of his last five starts, so he was due to have a bit of […]
Cubs BCB After Dark: Who starts Game One?
It’s a new week here at BCB After Dark: the grooviest gathering of night owls, early risers, new parents and Cubs fans abroad. We’re so glad you decided to stop by. Come on in out of the heat. There’s no cover charge. We validate parking. We’ve got a few tables still available. The hostess will […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Monday 8/17, 7:05 CT
Today’s roster moves: Here Monday notes… The Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup. White Sox lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Luis Castillo, RHP Shōta Imanaga had a rough outing his last time out against the Nationals but still has a 2.49 ERA and 1.125 […]

Cubs roster moves: Dansby Swanson and Edward Cabrera placed on injured list
As you know, Dansby Swanson left Sunday’s game after taking an awkward swing [VIDEO]. Your browser does not support the video tag. That didn’t look good when it happened and after the game it was announced that Swanson had suffered an oblique strain and would be placed on the injured list. Swanson had an MRI […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. White Sox series preview
The White Sox have been one of the surprise teams of MLB this year after a 102-loss season in 2025, holding first place in the AL Central much of the year and taking two of three from the Cubs on the South Side back in May. As I noted last month, the Cubs and Sox […]
SB Nation Reacts Survey: What should the Cubs do with Edward Cabrera’s rotation spot?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cubs fans and fans across the country. Edward Cabrera’s start against the Cardinals Sunday was, in a word, awful. This, you know. You also know that Cabrera said he had another blister issue […]
Chicago Cubs update: Seiya Suzuki, Alex Bregman, Clay Holmes
The Cubs split their six games this past week, taking two of three in Washington, then losing two of three at home to the Cardinals. They’ll have to pick up the pace this week if they still retain hopes of catching the Brewers in the NL Central. Here’s who was hot and not for the […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Pete Crow-Armstrong is the Superhero vs. the Cardinals
I’m again floored by just how lights on, lights off this team is. They’ve now lost three of four by a combined score of 26-11. All the more remarkable because the one win was 3-0. Six games, six different starters and five of them have struggled. Fortunately, the team had been pretty hot ahead of […]
MLB News: Tommy John passes, Hunter Greene, Aaron Judge, Joshua Baez
Happy Monday, everyone! It was a good weekend to be making your MLB debut, especially if your name happens to be Joshua Baez for the St. Louis Cardinals, as the young slugger made major league history by becoming the first player ever to hit three home runs in their MLB debut. To a lesser degree, […]
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — August 17
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Victor Caratini, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1973 – At Shea Stadium, 42-year-old New York Mets outfielder Willie Mays hits the 660th and final home run of his career off Reds lefty Don Gullett, and other stories as well.
