I listened to this game on the radio and it sounded like the Cubs were victimized by stupid luck and crazy wind at times, though they made the plays that mattered and came out with a fun football score win. Per at least one media outlet and also their official records, Ian Happ’s pair of home runs puts him ahead …
A 30-year, $26.5M Contract
Sounds like a steal? It probably is. The city of Myrtle Beach reached a new agreement with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans’ ownership group last week that, hopefully, will breathe some new life into a once-exemplary minor-league ballpark experience. This comes after a series of short-term contracts, including last year’s one-year extension, between the city, Horry County (the “H” is silent), …

Walk Off a Winner On Father’s Day
We can do the requisite bitching about the Cubs offense not destroying the Pirates, but yeah you only need to score one more than the other team to win, which Ian Happ ensured… Happy Father’s Day, jabronis.

The 2025 All-Star Ballot is Here
The Cubs texted me to let me know the All-Star Ballot is now live, so with the season barely a third completed, we have to once again choose who to send to the midsummer popularity contest, or else we can abstain and hope every Cubs player gets an extended rest. But it is nice to have at least some representation, …
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (37-22) at Wasington Natinals (28-31)
Nats park has been around for a good 17 years now, but I still have to stop and catch myself and remember that they don’t still play at RFK. It is/was a weird, ugly mound of concrete but oddly I’ve had the best hot dogs that I’ve ever eaten at a ballpark there. Thank you for coming to my TED …

Cubs Highlight Package 5/31
It’s been a bit since we’ve had a new post, so here’s a good excuse after a Cubs win fueled mostly by good pitching and defense (plus a bit of help from the Wrigley winds), before some late fortuitous offense. Ben Brown did pretty well after Drew Pomeranz opened for him, hopefully he won’t need that crutch forever but if …
