The Chicago Cubs lost their eighth consecutive game last night, and were mathematically eliminated from the postseason for the first time since 2014. That’s the what. But fans want to know why it happened, and more importantly how this doesn’t happen again to their team. Why did Jon Lester, Kyle Hendricks, Jose Quintana, Cole Hamels, and […]
The 2019 Chicago Cubs are playing da baseball because neither fun nor mental describe their efforts through 156 games. Six games remain and the Cubs still have a slim chance of playing in the postseason, but aren’t optimistic after watching them lose their last five games by a single run. Just three years ago the Cubs won their […]

Seeing Cubs shortstop Javy Baez naked is not something I ever wanted. ESPN made him hard to miss in its latest Body Gallery. It’s as though ESPN wants to penalize guys for looking at a few athletic women who are naked. A few years ago, they put an unclothed 75-year old pro golfer Gary Player […]
60 – Vedie Himsl (10-21) – Himsl led the Cubs during three unsuccessful stints as the leader of the College of Coaches in 1961. What made him the worst of those guys who were forced to operate in an idiotic experiment? Nothing, but he’s the best known of the bunch because his name is fun […]

Exercise patience, hoping the team magically finds the exuberance that made them so much fun to watch from 2015 to 2017, or sell some parts to restock a depleted farm system. The trade deadline is two days away and president Theo Epstein could try to find a piece of two […]
What better way for a manager to tell a general manager the bullpen sucks than expose one of the pitchers who comprise it? That may be exactly what Cubs manager Joe Maddon did last Sunday when he brought in Carl Edwards Jr. with two outs and two on in the top of the ninth inning […]
People who make bad decisions – or exhibit a lack of behavioral control – in one area will likely make them in others. Such is the case with Cubs second baseman Addison Russell, who was accused in social media posts by his ex-wife of general idiocy that included physical abuse and emotional terror. Russell was suspended […]
The Chicago White Sox have always played second fiddle to their crosstown rival Cubs – always. Even during the few eras when the Sox have fielded a better team, they have been seen as a lesser organization with a lesser ballpark in an inferior part of the city. Former Sox TV voice Hawk Harrelson has […]
In the top of the fourth inning of last night’s Cubs vs. Astros game, Albert Almora pulled a line drive into the stands just beyond the Cubs dugout. Almora immediately dropped to one knee and buried his head in his hands. A four year-old child was crying after being hit by the foul ball. She was taken […]
