I forgot today was also 4/20 but I guess the Cubs came off their high already after the Friday and Saturday games.

That Game Was Dumb as Hell, Laudatory
Especially that eighth inning, I mean what the hell (dying laughing) I was pretty annoyed at the top half like everyone else, but the bottom half made sitting in traffic seem not so bad after all. Elmo broke Twitter a long time ago, but yeah that is one hell of a wild swing and a wild game that I’m glad …
Series Preview: Arizona Sneks (12-7) at Chicago Cubs (12-9)
Luckily the MLB schedulers decided to get my Arizona-based blackouts out of the way by mid-April this year. The Cubs split their four game series in the desert, though they had the final game in hand until the Cubs bullpen melted down on getaway day. These are the last scheduled games but odds seem pretty good that they’ll face each …
Yet Another Off Day Cubs Haiku
A .500 West Coast road trip, a division-leading performance so far anyway despite this April madness, and also someone told me it was International Haiku Poetry Day, so… Gauntlet halfway done Cubs leading division still Unbelievable
Cubs 2, Padres 1 (10 innings)
OSS: Against all odds, the Cubs pull one out late on the west coast. Three up: Three down: Next up: The Cubs go for the series win tomorrow at 3:10 CT. Matthew Boyd takes on Nick Pivetta. With today’s win the Cubs have already guaranteed that this won’t be a losing west coast trip, so pop the champagne.
“Celebrating” Jackie Robinson
Today is April 15, which happens to be tax day (hope you remembered to file before now because who knows if you’re going to get a refund these days), and it also happens to be the league-wide celebration of one of the most iconic players in MLB history, Jackie Robinson. Robinson, of course, was officially the first Black American player …
Justin Steele to undergo surgery, out for the season
Well, this sucks. Cubs lefty Justin Steele is undergoing season-ending surgery Friday to repair the flexor tendon and address the UCL. Unclear on damage to UCL until doctor goes in, Counsell said. A big blow to the Cubs.— Meghan Montemurro (@mmontemurro.bsky.social) April 13, 2025 at 2:35 PM No clue if it’s a full TJ or not, but as far as …
A Post-Massacre Haiku
Cubs are in first place At least through Monday but hope It is forever
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (9-6) at Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles (10-4)
These assholes again? Ugh. At least we only have to play once a year (plus playoffs hopefully) in this stupid ballpark, where I swear the stadium sound guy has a personal vendetta against me. I don’t know what it is that always rubs me the wrong way there. The fact that they have the most deafening sound system in the …
Off Day Reset Before the Rest of the Gauntlet
The Cubs are off today, one of many this month of April which includes every Thursday up until their road finale against the Pirates in Pittsburgh on May 1. This after 15 games which includes a tough “home” (Japan)/road trip and a tough home stand prior to a tough road trip back out West. If you haven’t noticed the theme …
