Kyle Schwarber has hit 15 home runs in his last 16 games. Fifteen homers is a lot in 16 games, which is 10% of a season. Prorated over an entire season, Schwarber would total an astronomical 150 home runs. That’s a more slow-pitch softball number of dingers than baseball. Schwarber’s success pleases me because he is a […]
If the Cubs continue to not hit the ball hard, they will be done with this crazy season before the end of the week. As a team, the Cubs are hitting .220. They are a hard watch with 146 more strikeouts than hits. Fans recognize the names, but not the swings. Rizzo, Bryant, Heyward, Contreras, […]

by Kent Sterling The Cubs suck. Sad, but true. Even worse, there is a reason for it that has no cure until the 2020 season, and it has nothing to do with profiteering by the Ricketts. Whether you prefer to be pissed off by it, or tolerate it, the Cubs being noncompetitive is not going […]
