Swing of Emotions--Cubs 5 Cardinals 4

Swing of Emotions--Cubs 5 Cardinals 4
It was a pretty miserable day at the ballpark for 12 innings. The Cubs offense remained in the deep freeze with the club managing just 3 hits through those first 12 innings. The road Cubs at Wrigley looked like they were facing Carlos Marmol as the team played two true outcomes baseball. The Cubs either... Read more »

The New Normal--Cardinals 3 Cubs 1

The New Normal--Cardinals 3 Cubs 1
Well the 2020 Cubs have been consistent. Their games have felt very similar in the first couple of weeks with the team rolling out to their best start since 1907. But like everything else in 2020, their new normal positively sucks. The Cubs have found the absolute quickest way to wash away the positive vibes... Read more »

The Long Goodbye--Cardinals 9 Cubs 0

The Long Goodbye--Cardinals 9 Cubs 0
Game 162 was finally upon us and with it the conclusion that had been foregone for at least a fortnight. The Chicago Cubs season would end with an unceremonious thud that represented so much more than the first time in five years that the Cubs season ended at game 162. Joe Maddon’s fate had been...

Late Inning Heartbreak -- Cardinals 3, Cubs 2

Yu Darvish had 12 strikeouts and almost pitched a complete game for the Chicago Cubs on Sunday afternoon, but unfortunately the St. Louis Cardinals staged a late rally to knock him out of the game and win by a score of 3-2.

Closing Windows--Cardinals 5 Cubs 4

Closing Windows--Cardinals 5 Cubs 4
This isn’t how it was supposed to go. The Cubs have been so very good at home. The Cardinals hadn’t won at Wrigley in nearly a calendar year. Kyle Hendricks has been especially dominant at the Friendly Confines. And Anthony Rizzo somehow managed to hobble his way into the leadoff spot. Unfortunately Jack Flaherty, the... Read more »

Forgettable Night--Cardinals 8 Cubs 0

Forgettable Night--Cardinals 8 Cubs 0
There was nothing redeeming about tonight’s loss. The offense disappeared once again, even with two new additions. The bullpen was a disaster once again, and Jon Lester wasn’t very good. Joe Maddon made several inexplicable moves once again, and it combined for the Cubs losing the division lead, once again. The search for a road... Read more »

KKKKKKKyle Hendricks -- Cubs 2, Cardinals 0

Jason Heyward took the leadoff spot for the Cubs and flew out to right field off of Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas. Willson Contreras got the first hit... Read more »
